It’s time to bid farewell to the captivating series “Oshi No Ko.” This dark horse production, both in its manga and anime versions, struck a chord with fans due to the compelling narrative of Ai and her offspring. Regrettably, following the footsteps of other popular titles like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen, the creative minds behind “Oshi No Ko,” Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, have concluded their story with the final chapter published in 2024. Fortunately, if you’re eager to discover how Ruby’s tale unfolds, our team at egmr.ru is thrilled to walk you through the summer of “Oshi No Ko’s” climactic finale and discuss why this series concluded on a bittersweet note.

We strive to find purpose in our lives while occasionally remembering those we’ve lost. It’s tough, but we believe that if we give our best to what we can do, we’ll eventually discover a reason for carrying on.
