Oshi no Ko -The Final Act-

Goro Akagishi is a seemingly ordinary gynecologist by day, but there's one aspect of his life that sets him apart from others - his unwavering dedication to his favorite idol group, SPYRAL. Amidst the euphoria surrounding his beloved idols, Goro's life takes an unexpected turn when his favorite member, Ai, abruptly announces an indefinite hiatus. The news sends shockwaves through his life, leaving him reeling with questions. What drove the brilliant Ai to such a drastic decision? Goro, consumed by loyalty and admiration, feels an unstoppable urge to discover the truth behind her sudden departure. Ai Hoshino, the charming and captivating idol, is known for her exceptional talent and captivating stage presence. With her bright smile and effortless charm, she has captured the hearts of countless fans worldwide. However, beneath the spotlight and applause lies a complex web of relationships, friendships, and alliances. As Ai's trusted gynecologist, Goro unexpectedly finds himself caught up in the intricate dynamics of the idol world. His association with Ai is not limited to medical expertise, but deepens into a unique bond forged from mutual trust and admiration. The seemingly ordinary doctor becomes increasingly entwined with Ai's personal life, catching glimpses of the idol's multifaceted personality. As their interactions become more comprehensive, he discovers that Ai, like many idols, is living a double life. Behind the gleaming facade of fame lies a labyrinth of deception, where fans are seen more as commodities than genuine connections. Ai, caught in this trap, feels suffocated by the suffocating pressure of maintaining an image - one that must maintain its beauty, charm, and infallibility. Their bond finds its strength in the open honesty between them, which is unusual in Ai's world, where deception is a necessary tool for survival. Through intimate conversations, Ai begins to let her guard down, and her insecurities and fears start to surface. Goro witnesses firsthand the exhausting nature of maintaining the 'idol image' - from carefully constructed emotions to meticulously studied performances. The idol world, in all its glamour, proves to be suffocating for those confined within it, hiding a more sinister truth - lies become the norm, the constant mask and fabricated character one must don and break with an exhausting frequency. Goro, sensing the depths of Ai's despair and the complexity of her reality, chooses to empathize rather than merely stand by. Their connection transcends the superficial bonds of idol-fan relationships, moving toward a profound tie forged by shared trust and open communication. Amidst this unfolding uncharted territory, Goro unravels a far more sinister scheme than initially thought - the cruel environment that confines Ai, touting beauty but silently suffocating her light. The dynamic of their interaction takes a dramatically darker turn as Ai's true relationship with her management team and her fans is gradually revealed to Goro. Her 'hiatus,' an escape from the suffocating cage, brings about immediate consequences. Her idol colleagues start to experience strange attacks, forcing them to question the actual causes behind Ai's decision. It's at this turning point that Goro finds himself entrenched in the dark underbelly of the idol world - a place of violence and control, all to maintain the illusion. The path to uncovering the truth becomes increasingly perilous, putting the fragile balance of their relations at risk. Determined to rescue Ai from the oppression she faces, Goro finds himself entangled in the web of deceit and hurt. Together, they move toward overturning the machine that suffocates the true value of performance, in all its raw emotion. They lay bare the chains of submission and, with each fleeting moment, forge something profound, a silent determination behind their collective heartbeats.
