Oshi no Ko manga has been on a break for 40+ days, and fans can barely wait. Last month, mangaka Aka Akasaka made a surprising announcement, putting the series on a much-needed 4-week hiatus. Although the specific cause of this break remains a mystery, many speculate that Akasaka, who was managing a demanding schedule, simply needed a break. After all, he had only recently wrapped up Kaguya-sama: Love is War and was simultaneously working on a third manga alongside Oshi no Ko.
In simple terms, a break was long overdue and much deserved.
During this hiatus, fans were treated to special interlude chapters, serving as a temporary fix to their Oshi no Ko cravings. However, the anticipation for the main story’s return has been palpable. But don’t worry, because the wait is almost over. We now have the release date for Oshi no Ko’s much-awaited comeback, and we’re here to give you all the details you need.

What was happening in Oshi no Ko before the Hiatus?
Before diving headfirst into Oshi no Ko Chapter 126, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane to recap what’s been going on so far. The break hit us smack in the middle of the manga’s final storyline, where all the character stories have been heading towards a big climax, leaving us curious about what’s next.
- Our main focus has been on Ruby Hoshino, who’s been chasing her dreams while her “momager” Miyako Saito, acting both as her manager and mother figure, has been right by her side. The big question hanging in the air is whether Ruby’s star will rise high in the sky or if she’s in for a rough landing after taking on too much.
- Then came that surprising moment when Ruby asked Aqua to marry her. Now, before we jump to conclusions, it’s worth noting that Ruby only popped the question after finding out Aqua’s connection to her past life. It might not be the best excuse, but we’re hoping it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing due to overwhelming emotions. She’ll get over it, hopefully.
Chapter 125 threw us for another loop with Ichigo’s unexpected return. Fans were left with a bunch of questions. Was he coming back to the company? Did this mean Ruby was going to rise to stardom and then face a heartbreaking fall, similar to Ai? No one can be sure yet.
Conclusion:
Oshi no Ko manga has been on a break for over 40 days, with mangaka Aka Akasaka revealing a 4-week hiatus. The hiatus was considered necessary owing to Akasaka’s demanding schedule and the completion of Kaguya-sama: Love is War. However, the wait is finally over, as Oshi no Ko Chapter 126 is confirmed for release on September 21st, 2023. The chapter will be available for free on the Manga Plus App for both iOS and Android.
