What happens when a rural doctor is reborn as the secret child of Japan's brightest idol—only to watch her murdered at his doorstep? Oshi no Ko delivers a devastating blend of showbiz thriller and revenge tragedy, where the glittering world of entertainment hides exploitation, obsession, and deadly secrets. Join us as we unpack this genre-defying story of reincarnation, twin siblings navigating the industry that destroyed their mother, and the question that haunts every episode—how far would you go to uncover the truth behind a perfect smile?
In this episode (FULL SPOILERS): Going In Blind | Story & World-Building | Characters & Chemistry | Standout Moments | Animation, Sound & Style | The Verdict
From first impressions to final verdict, we discuss the world-building, debate which characters land (and which fall flat), highlight the best moments, and evaluate the animation and soundtrack. At Sakura Society, we cut through the hype to help you decide what's actually worth your time.
