The highly anticipated second season of the drama anime Oshi no Ko has returned. Here are the anticipated release dates and number of installments for Oshi no Ko Season 2.
In 2024, one of the most eagerly awaited anime releases was Oshi no Ko Season 2. This year, on July 3, it made its debut as an anime series for Summer 2024, continuing where the first season left off.
Oshi no Ko narrates the tale of Ai Hoshino, a teenage idol, and her murderous spree following her covert twin birth. She is unaware that her two fans, Aqua and Ruby, are reincarnations of her. The anime series explores the enigma surrounding their rebirth and the role their biological father had in Ai’s demise.
None of these questions were addressed by the conclusion of the first season. Fans are curious to learn who Aqua and Ruby’s father is and why he betrayed Ai now that Season 2 has started.
