Synopsis of Oshi no Ko

16-year-old Ai Hoshino is a beautiful and talented idol who is adored by her fans. She is the epitome of purity, but not all that glitters is gold… Gorou Honda is a gynecologist from a rural area and a big fan of Ai. So when the pregnant idol shows up at her hospital, he’s more than a little perplexed. Gorou promises a safe birth, but little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure would result in her premature death, or so he thought.

Opening his eyes, Gorou finds himself in the lap of his beloved idol and discovers that he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino, the newborn son of Ai! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon discovers that show business is full of thorns and that talent doesn’t always bring success. Will he be able to protect his beloved idol’s smile?
