It is undeniable that the anime Oshi no Kobased on a manga by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyaribecame one of the most popular series not only of the season Spring-2023 (April-June), but of the entire year. Being a tough contender for Anime of the Year on any of the platforms you know, the franchise knew how to develop to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with each new episode.
While the manga slowly approaches its plot climax, the anime adaptation managed to cover the first four volumes of the work in a masterful way, including all the main girls who star in the initial story arcs. Leaving aside Aqua Hoshinothe protagonist, we have Ruby Hoshinoher twin sister and another reincarnated Ai Hoshino fan; Kana Arima, the popular child actress looking to get out of decadence; and Akane Kurokawathe method actress recognized for her impressive characterizations.
Of course, the drama intensifies with a love triangle between Aqua, Kana and Akane, and it didn’t take long for fans to organize the “teams.”, that is, two groups that support Aqua staying with one of the girls. This is accompanied by so many images that are impossible to count, fan-fictions and even doujinshi, since Oshi no Ko became a very juicy franchise that hentai artists can still profit from.
But among all this, a much more particular “team” also emerged, one that includes a third participant: Ruby herself. Designated as the “Team Incest” on social media, these Oshi no Ko fans support Aqua and Ruby, twin siblings in their new lives, starting a romantic relationship. The authors hinted at an immense positive change in the relationship between the siblings, especially when Ruby finally discovered that Aqua is the reincarnation of the doctor who took care of her during her hospital stay in her previous life.
However, it seems that the weight of this faction is increasing more and more because It turns out that in the monthly ranking of Toranoana (November 1-30, 2023, including adult doujinshi), one of the largest doujinshi stores in Japan, an Oshi no Ko doujinshi, focused solely on works starring Aqua and Ruby Hoshino, achieved eleventh position on the list.
And if you think that Position 11 is nothing to brag about, consider the following: The book was released at the end of November, so it only had a few days to add such a large amount of sales that it reached eleventh position among all the other doujinshi that had evidently been available for many more days. Isn’t that impressive?
And it’s not even a hentai doujinshisince the preview and description confirm that it is only short stories and illustrations that show Aqua and Ruby Hoshino as a couple, the “northern ending” that “that faction” so wants to see in Oshi no Ko.
If you’re curious, in the same monthly ranking that omits adult doujinshi releases, This story derived from Oshi no Ko rises to fourth position on the list.
