Oshi no Ko's Artist Is Sick and Tired of Leakers

As a long-time fan of manga and anime, I can empathize with artist Mengo Yokoyari’s feelings regarding the leaks of his work on “Oshi no Ko.” It’s disheartening to see your own creations spoiled before they reach their intended audience. The allure of leaks may seem tempting, but the joy of experiencing a story as it was meant to be told is immeasurable.

The series “Oshi no Ko” frequently leaves its audience in awe with unexpected twists and turns. From heart-wrenching deaths to heartfelt confessions, this idol drama has consistently taken fans by surprise. These surprising moments originate from the manga, skillfully crafted by writer Aka Akasaka and artist Mengo Yokoyari. However, it appears that Yokoyari is currently struggling due to the rising issue of online leakers.

Essentially, it’s tough to catch fans off guard when secrets are constantly spilling out. This week, Yokoyari expressed their disappointment over the prevalence of manga leaks online as they stumbled upon spoilers for Oshi no Ko on their social media feed.

“Recently, it seems many early, unofficial pictures of my favorite character have been circulating. Please be cautious. Her appearance in my suggested content has left me a bit down.”

As you can imagine, it would feel awful to see your own leaked work on social media when you are scrolling at night. Such is what Yokoyari experienced as Oshi no Ko is now being targeted by leakers. In recent years, series like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen have made waves with their spoilers as Shueisha is frequently hit by leaks. Now, Oshi no Ko has become a new target by leakers thanks to its recent rise. All eyes are on Oshi no Ko thanks to its new anime, and its popularity seems to be a double-edged blade.

There is no denying that leaks are tempting, but when it comes to supporting your fave series, nothing helps more than reading official releases. Manga Plus does simulpublish Oshi no Ko, so you can find the manga in English for your convenience. As for the Oshi no Ko anime, you can find the hit series streaming on HIDIVE. So for more info on the idol drama, you can read its official synopsis below:

As a gamer, I’m usually miles away from the sparkling lights of the entertainment world, especially when it comes to my idol, the rising sensation Ai Hoshino. But life has a funny way of turning things upside down; one moment I’m delivering babies as an OB-GYN, and the next, I find myself standing shoulder to shoulder with the star herself. Our destinies have become inexplicably entwined, and it’s time for this doctor to jump on the bandwagon and navigate this unpredictable journey together!
