The manga's story writer Aka Aasaka, best known for his KAGUYA-SAMA: LOVE IS WAR series, has posted his comments about the live-action project on Twitter . On the occasion of the live-action adaptation of Oshi no Ko, Oshi no Ko is a work that makes various references to the entertainment industry. It also mentions the live-action adaptation of manga works. It is not saying only good things. It also says critical things. I thought that maybe Oshi no Ko would never be made into live-action. So when I heard that they would make a live-action adaptation, I wanted to ask both the cast and the production team, "Are you sure you are okay with this?" I am endlessly grateful to everyone who agreed to do it. I wonder what it is like to create a work set in the entertainment industry, not from the manga artist's point of view, but from the real world of the entertainment industry, and what the finished work will be like. I am very interested in it, and I am sure you are as well. I hope you will join me in seeing the answer to these questions.
