Oshi no Ko and hard work

Oshi No Ko

  • Aka-sensei is no stranger to hard work
  • Internal struggles of those who are the best in the field
  • Pressure to perform, pressure to deliver, in a winner-takes-all system
  • Chapter 33-35: Up and coming startup feels

Vs other media

  • Media tends to underemphasize hard work because it’s boring to watch
    • Prefers “sudden reveal” because it’s cool/novel
    • Or “look how hard I’m trying” but without spending the requisite training time
  • Self-insert manga is the biggest culprit - everything comes kinda easily, no struggles, failures
