OSHI NO KO adapts the entertainment industry-themed mystery drama manga written by Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and drawn by Mengo Yokoyari (Scum’s Wish). Season 3’s synopsis reads:
The story moves on to a new stage──
Half a year has passed since the release of “POP IN 2”.
Thanks to MEMcho’s hard work, B-KOMACHI are on the verge of their big break.
Aqua grows steadily as a personality, while Akane advances on her path to becoming a skilled actress.
On the other hand, Kana has lost her cheeriness.
Finally, in her quest to uncover the truth behind Ai and Gorou’s deaths,
Ruby rises through the entertainment industry.
────using lies as her weapon.
The manga ran from 2020 to 2024 in Shueisha’s seinen magazine Weekly Young Jump. Yen Press has the manga in English and describes it as such:
Gorou is a gynecologist and idol fan who’s in shock after his favorite star, Ai, announces an impromptu hiatus. Little does Gorou realize that he’s about to forge a bond with her that defies all common sense! Lies are an idol’s greatest weapon in this outrageous manga from Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and Mengo Yokoyari (Scum’s Wish).
