The creators of the popular manga and anime series Oshi no Ko, Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, have expressed their satisfaction with the recently released live-action adaptation on Prime Video.
Oshi no Ko's original manga ended in November 2024, but the series lives on with its ongoing anime adaptation and the recently completed live-action show on Prime Video. Released on November 28, 2024 worldwide, the live-action series followed a streamlined version of the events of the manga, before adapting the final arc into a feature-length film, released on December 20 in Japan.
The movie is currently being met with glowing reviews from fans and critics alike, and the creators of the original manga series have finally shared their feelings regarding the adaptation as well. Written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari, Oshi no Ko ran for 166 chapters in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump, concluding only weeks before the live-action series premiered. As reported by Japanese media outlet, Natalie, the two creators finally took the time to share their thoughts on the adaptation, and both are extremely pleased with the production. Oshi no Ko was elevated to the forefront of the anime and manga world when the first season of its anime adaptation premiered in April 2023. By then, the original manga had already been in publication for nearly three years and was nearing its final arc, causing fans to rush the shelves of bookstores in order to find out how the story progressed. This popularity inevitably led to Prime Video's live-action adaptation, which took advantage of the attention that the manga's ending was receiving. Live-action adaptations of anime and manga have a spotty reputation, but Akasaka and Yokoyari are fully on board with the latest version of their series. Akasaka, who wrote Oshi no Ko's story, commented,'I feel respected,' before adding,'in the series, there is a line that says, 'I have no choice but to believe and entrust,' and I felt Oshi no Ko was made with such respect
