This Lie is Love. And this Lie is a gift to the World. · Waifora

When it comes to the entertainment industry…
... We see all the actors/artists/idols that are way too amazing at their job when they show off what they can do to entertain people that are watching them. But when it comes to off-screen, they deliberately think to know what is right and try not to ~~f*ck~~ up and not ruin their career for the people who are supporting them.

I will not talk about this Manga first but I will in a minute if you read the first part. What I need to discuss here first is what all Actors/Artists do when they have a high-end career, while all over the world are watching them, and also what their story is about what’s behind being part of the Entertainment Industry. (soo.. spoilers free ahead)

To start,
The Entertainment Industry is some of the best and worst that happen in people’s lives. Why? Because People on social media are some of the worst things that can ruin a professional’s life. They can criticize everyone without showing their face and can also easily get away with it because no one knows who that person was. And the only best thing that they can do is just love what they’re doing. When I’m trying to say “People”. I meant social media outlets. Like..:
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the most common place where some of the people are the worst is Twitter. Twitter is one of the biggest social media platforms, but what’s in there is like a hellhole. It’s good now. I think. Since a multi-billionaire is the owner now and knows how social media works. It’s a bit safe to say that the platform depends on him pretty well.

Actors/artists have sacrificed everything just for their fame, but a one big or teenie tiny flop. Their whole blood, sweat, and tears that they put in can lead to disgrace for the whole community. Like, let’s talk about the controversies right now. For example, Johnny Depp (JD) and Amber Heard:
Amber accused JD of being abusive to her.

JD lost his contract to Disney
After almost two decades of being part of Disney.
Few weeks after the start of the trial, Disney wanted him back but JD turn down a $300 mil. contract, even though they wanted to bring him back.

With just this kind of exposure to the entire world, JD had a hard time trying to figure out what is best for him. People still love him because of how many sources have defended him with his colleagues. Amber on the other hand. She merely lost everything. I don’t know how many she lost, but all I do know is her role in Aquaman, her parents' reputation, and this trial.

What I can also tell is a famous Japanese wrestler. But this lost the life of a person. And name was Kimura Hana. As being part/moderator for Ai’s Fanclub translation, it is safe to say that and hard too at the same time that this part here is what made me hate social media.
So who was Hana Kimura? She was a wrestler born on Sep. 3, 1997, in Tokyo Japan. On May 18, 2020, days before her death. She received many death threats across the internationals by just this STAGED show called Terrace House. Her overreaction in the show with just a staged act made an outburst through social media and direct messaging her and leaving to cyberbullying. And on the 23rd of May 2020, the news spread to announce that Kimura Hana had died at the age of 22. The cause was cyberbullying.
I know this is just a review, but I have to leave this behind. [If you or friends or relatives are having suicidal thoughts, Call these numbers:]

To conclude the reality review here’s the last part.
Overall, these actors, artists, idols, heroes, or whatever you want to call them. They’re humans too but, with a different lifestyle compared to many others. We know how famous they are and they just hope they're doing what we're doing. They envy us also of how we live a normal life.
We can be fanboying or fangirling, yet don’t do it overboard. Might as well they creep out on you. What I’m trying to say here is to treat them the same way as you walk past people on the street.

Now Let’s get on with this Actual review. (This is where the spoiler starts)
To this sequence of a review. I love portraying things in real life and what can happen if this manga or an anime is staggered in real-life scenarios. Even though it's Supernatural, Sci-fi, or Fantasy, I still love reflecting on things in a psychedelic way. And this is one of them.

Oshi no Ko or My Star has never reached my Star in a controversial way of liking the characters. But it reached me of losing someone that you love the most. I will summarize the whole First volume.
Story:

Spoiler, click to view

It began with a story where the world of showbiz shows where the Twin siblings have made an invitational event. ~~~~~ But First, let’s go to the past. Gorou Amemiya is a countryside gynecologist who has the biggest fan for an Idol. Her name is Ai Hoshino. She is beloved by many fans all over Japan. She made a weapon for the people who kept loving her. “Lying”. Although Lying is one of the reasons why she was beloved by many fans, Lying is her form of love. Even if she doesn’t know what love is, she expresses everything by not knowing a single thing about love. Cutting back to Gorou, he was never a fan of any Idols until one of his patients got him to like them. The name is Serina Tendouju, she was first revealed as a patient which made Gorou start obsessing over Ai Hoshino, as to Ai being Sarina's Star/Idol. Sarina, however, died due to her anaplastic astrocytoma disease. After few years in, while Gorou is fanboying over Ai, later he found that she’s in poor health but on top of that, she is not in poor condition in the first place however she is 20 weeks pregnant with a twin inside her belly. And Gorou talked to Ai about how big of a fan he is and will deliver the baby well to her. Until a stalker found out where Ai was and killed Gorou and was not safely delivered by him. In spite of the fact that he got murdered, he was reborn as one of Ai’s twin children, Aquamarine (Aqua), and Serina is the other twin, but Ai named her Ruby. As they get reincarnated, they still know themselves before, but they do not know how close they are to their past life. In a few chapters, Ai is secretly hiding her twins, or else the people in her fanbase will grow an outrageous headlines. And so, Ai is struggling on getting back on track because of her long hiatus in the industry. Though she was offered to be on screen, since then she made her way out again of having a big amount of fanbase and even brought her son Aqua to do some screening with her. With Ai’s multiple screening times, the Hoshino family has been living quietly without people knowing around the world that she has twin children. Until the stalker finds her again and then stabs her with a knife. This began the life of the twins and took over the whole story. In the final chapter of the first volume, the twins have aged in their teenage years, yet Aqua cannot forget the loss of her mother’s life. So he began plotting his revenge. The one person who only knows that Ai has a children. Is the twins' father.

In every volume, Aqua and Ruby are living their lives, but both of them have different paths. Ruby's path is becoming an idol just like her mother, while Aqua must get into the Entertainment Industry to find their father.

Thus this finishes my summary. There might be some missing characters though, but I just want to prioritize the family point of view. Which is only the first volume that I very like.

I never been so affectionate that much to any character in Anime/Manga, but Ai's death have been traumatic experience for me. I really do have soft spots whenever there's Loving and Caring mother that builds at the point where the children have the sense that she is home. Her hugs is the home itself. And Aka Akasaka hitting us the part where she died right in front her kid was the biggest blow while reading the manga.
I get that she's a fictional character, but how she told her stories and telling her kids her last words. "I Love You". It made a huge impact to my heart. I can never ever dissolve her words out of my mind.

Losing someone that you love the most can be the hardest part to deal with.
