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
To be wanted
