The preview images and trailer of Oshi no Ko episode 9 have been unveiled on Tuesday. The upcoming episode titled “B-Komachi” is scheduled to air on Wednesday, June 14. It will be available to stream on HIDIVE, Ani-One Asia ULTRA, Bilibili, and Netflix. Check out the preview images:
Kouki Uchinomiya (Komi Can’t Communicate episode 5), Seong Min Kim (Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie episodes 2 and 7), and Daisuke Hiramaki (Selection Project) are directing the episode with scripts written by Jin Tanaka (Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club) and storyboard done by Hiroaki Yoshikawa (Kono Oto Tomare!: Sounds of Life episodes 1 and 4).
Studio Doga Kobo (Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie) is animating the anime while Kanna Hirayama (Rent-a-Girlfriend) is adapting the character designs from the manga written by Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and illustrated by Mengo Yokari (Scum’s Wish).
The cast of Oshi no Ko includes Rie Takahashi as Ai Hoshino, Takeo Otsuka as Aquamarine Hoshino, Yurie Igoma as Ruby Hoshino, Megumi Han as Kana Arima, Manaka Iwami as Akane Kurokawa, Rumi Okubo as Mem-cho, and Lynn as Miyako Saito.
Bilibili describes the plot of the series as follows:
In the entertainment industry, lying is the weapon. Every day, Goro, an obstetrician and gynecologist who works in a small city, leads a life unrelated to the entertainment business. Yet, the idol Hoshino Ai that he “followed” started to move up the list of stars. Such two realized their worst-case scenario, and from that point on, the wheels of fate started to turn.
The anime is one of the biggest trends this season and bodybuilder Yokokawa danced to Pieyon’s Boot Dance with Ruby Hoshino’s voice actress, Yurie Igoma.
