Okay, so today I wanted to dive into “Oshi no Ko,” this manga that’s been blowing up all over the internet. I’d heard some good things about it, and since everyone’s talking about it, I figured I might as well give it a shot, you know?
First, I had to figure out where the heck to actually read this thing. Turns out, the best place is this site called MangaPlus, run by Shueisha. They’ve got a bunch of chapters up there for free, which is pretty sweet. I found out that the first three and the latest three chapters are always free, so I thought I would read them first.
- Started with Chapter 1: I went ahead and read through the first chapter. I will not spoil the plot, but it’s pretty wild. I mean, it totally hooked me right from the start.
- Jumped to Chapter 41: After that, I decided to take a peek at Chapter 41. Man, it was intense! I won’t give away any spoilers, but let’s just say things get pretty crazy.
- Decided to buy the volume: With that, I made the decision to read the whole series, so I went to see whether I can buy all the volumes. I found out that the first volume was released on July 17, 2020, and the 16th and final volume on December 18, 2024. It will be a long read.
My Thoughts So Far
Honestly, I’m really digging “Oshi no Ko.” The story is super engaging, and the art is awesome. Some people suggested watching the anime first, but I’m kind of glad I’m experiencing it through the manga first. It feels more… I don’t know, personal? Anyway, I’m definitely going to keep reading and see where this wild ride takes me. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re into manga, or even if you’re just curious about all the hype.
