The author

Author set up a love polygon and pussied out when he had to solve it.

>>281254208 (OP)
Love triangle is garbage, Shitty harem plot

Aka is great at creating/developing characters and writing moment to moment scenes, but can't write overarching plots or serious stories to save his life. And that's assuming that he's not half-assing things to focus on his next manga.

Ruby is too tight

>>281254208 (OP)
Aka didn't know what to write.

Aka Akasaka

>>281254208 (OP)
Went to shit after Ai died. Tried to be Agatha Christie but failed miserably.

Genius Romance Mangaka, Akasaka Aka

>>281254208 (OP)
It ultimately failed by turning into romcom slop instead of keeping the murder mystery revenge angle alive.
In principle, the mystery doesn't even need a particularly good solution, because it's a vehicle to have Aqua (the audience surrogate) learn more about the entertainment industry and Ai.

It could've been something along the lines of Bakuman for film and idols, but then again, it ended up exactly like Bakuman, so maybe this type of story is cursed.

>>281254208 (OP)
I remember how shilled this shit was and I'm glad it turned out this way.

>>281254423
Aka's way better at just setting up pairs of couples than he is doing love triangle nonsense.

>Japanese authors can't make decent endings
>Oshi no Ko has a shitty conclusion
I don't understand. Where's the problem? Everything is as it should be.

It's barely a triangle. When Aqua is with Kana, Kana is treated as the sole heroine. When Aqua is with Akane, Akane is treated as the sole heroine. When Kana and Akane share a scene, they have a rivalry that completely predates and ignores Aqua. The only real exception is the beach scene towards the end, which is largely Akane throwing Kana at Aqua as a last ditch attempt to pretend that Kana is relevant to the murder mystery plot.

>>281254208 (OP)
Aka forced initially planned ending

>>281254208 (OP)
Never good to begin with

>>281255185
even bad things can go further wrong.

>>281255151
>forced
That how it feels.
The story steered into romance-redemption-healing trinity and then hamfisted that garbage ending. Man, the whole dad arc was so fucking retarded I can't even.

>>281254208 (OP)
The last 30 chapters when he decided that Aqua commiting suicide was a good ending. I feel agony for Mengo having to draw that dogpiss of an ending. You know she hated it as much as eveyone else considering those were characters that Hacka just ripped off her previous works. He's a nigger point blank. No one should read or support anything else he touches again.

>>281255151
>>281255541
Wait so he initially planned the ending, changed his mind to a new one, and then changed his mind again back to said ending later?

>>281254208 (OP)
Forced melodrama, fucked pacing, baiting the readers, and then a laughably bad ending. In conclusion,
>written by Akasaka Aka

>>281254208 (OP)
nothing

>>281255698
That's how it feels. Currently anime covers some fantastic arcs worth watching because the studio does fantastic work, but the downside is you will eventually reach the ending. There's a huge disconnect between Aqua and Ruby kissing and his death. He could have gone the incest route or ended him with Kana, but he chose the second worst possible option which was just killing him. (Worst being the Akane ending)

Don't care about this shit anime for normalfags and tourists, I just want to fuck Hoshino AI and Kana tbqh.

>>281254948
>Japanese authors can't make decent endings
Japanese authors are perfectly capable of making good endings.
You don't know what you are talking about.

>>281254208 (OP)
Nothing
Akasaka Aka won

You only hate the ending because you thought the story deserved a happy one, not because it was badly written

Akane is too loose

Wilbur is mounting Akane again...

>>281255794
I remember the kiss causing a huge shitstorm in the west and making people quit the series there.

>>281255876
No, it's perfectly fine to have a tragic ending, It's just that Aqua killing himself is bad.

>>281255698
No, every time he's been asked he has said the begining and ending were planned from the start, which makes sense since the original idea came from a friend of his saying he'd like to die and reincarnate as his idol son which leads to the theme of loving your idol to the point of dying for them which is what Aqua did in the end, the only thing we know for sure changed early on was Ai dying, apparently the original plan was to focus more on the cast's childhood leading to a "passing of the torch" moment but that got scrapped, probably the acting school setting was also more important originally before the change in focus

>people legitimately expected this to be good after he butchered Kaguya halfway through its run
Fully deserved. At least people seem to have actually learned this time and no one cares about his latest work(s)

List of winners:
Akasaka Aka
Kurokawa Akane
The Viewers
Doga Kobo
Non-freaks

Theater namek was the first warning sign but if anyone thought the story wasn't going to shit when crow loli gor introduced then they deserve the ending they got

>it wasn't badly written

Consider suicide

no incest route true ending

>>281256148
>Kurokawa Akane
Won many pig dicks

>>281254208 (OP)
The story is a bit dull, especialky at the end.

>>281256335
you lost incestkek

>>281256399
but enough about Akaneputa

>>281256501
's loser sister in law

>>281254208 (OP)
It wasn't about a hot idol breastfeeding and changing the stinky diapers of her secretly sentient babies between performances. Don't set up a juicy premise like that only to throw it away for a trite "idol industry... bad?" drama.

Why did Akane kidnapped all those babies?

>>281256148
>Kurokawa Akane
Lost harder than Kekna

>>281256186
>ignores Aqua's mental health
>ignores Akane's past record of observational and critical thinking skills
>ignores how fucked up the Japanese entertainment industry is to its stars and workers
You will never understand this manga

>>281256863
I guess that's true. I'll never understand it because apparently only people with room temp IQ and below do. Let me bash my head into concrete so I can dumb myself down to your level then we can have a discussion.

>>281256982
Oshi no Ko is the only Aka manga I'm aware of where the kino hits you twice

>>281256982
that fucking reveal is so good it really makes you wonder how the fuck did aka come up with it in the first place

instead of investigating the murder mystery premise, lets focus on actorshit and idolshit. i am a genius

meanwhile in Aka's newest manga
is it over already?

>>281254948
>Where's the problem?
Hacka wanted to imitate the mean-spiritness of Punpun's end, but failed miserably.

Reminder Nino is an antagonist.

>>281257163
He got axed again?
Bruh... he shall stop doing edgy incel copefics. His divorce happened almost 6 years ago.
This is time for him to use his free time to have therapy, learn to lovehimself and look back on the people he betrayed because of his mental issuee.

Akane loves Ojisan.

>>281257163
There is nothing announcing the end.

>>281257447
I think it's a stretch to even call her a character, let alone an antagonist.

>>281257163
I don't think I even know its name.

>>281254208 (OP)
it wasn't interesting enough to pull me back into seasonal anime at the time and it made me miss Frieren

>>281257677
vol 1 never ever

>>281254208 (OP)
ironic idolshit is still idolshit

Spicabros...
Where is our twincest idol duo at the dome finale?

>>281254608
>so maybe this type of story is cursed.
showha shoutan didn't suffer that fate thankfully
