Gorou Amemiya is a countryside gynecologist and a big fan of Ai. So when the pregnant idol shows up at his hospital, he is beyond bewildered. Gorou promises her a safe delivery.

| I'm surprised there's still 4 chapters left, from the point we're at I'd assume 2 or something. I'm a little sad that the manga wasn't as good in these last two arcs, but I'll make sure to read it to the end now. There's still a lot of nice moments for the anime to adapt as well, so hyped for that. |
 |
| I completely forgot about this series and now it’s ending? Dang |
 |
| No way.. I realized it was nearing its end but already? Four chapters is nothing enough for a proper explanation so I guess the latest chapter is indeed the climax |
 |
| i expected this final arc to last longer but damn i guess it makes sense with how the story is looking. |

| @irohiro Hah, the cliffhanger in the new chapter was deliberately done to create the illusion of an ending, of course it ends soon. @ryzxgum It seems Aka drew the right conclusions from complaints about the length of the second half of Kaguya. By the way, he himself publicly criticized the artificial stretching of the plot for the sake of abuse of popularity. @PapiChulo333 This is a very subjective question, but I would say that it is much more intense than recent anime arcs. |
 |
| Makes sense after how the latest chapter went. MHA, JJK, now this, a lot of big names ending this year. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Reply to PapiChulo333
Damn I'm just an anime only. Manga readers please don't spoil but how good is the story at the moment?
| @PapiChulo333 it depends. Some people disliked the last two story arcs. I personally liked them, especially pre-ultimate one (which was teased at the end of anime S2) and only disliked the first few chapters of the final arc but seems like Aka either changed his mind regarding the plot or was just trolling, so all is fine. Still, we need to see an actual ending to judge it but I am sure some people will be dissatisfied for one reason or another. |

| another one bites the dust |
| I really feel bad for the fans who had certain expectations from Aka Akasaka only to find out that he stopped caring after the content that S1 adapted and also ending it so soon. I hope if he decides to make new manga to satisfy those people. |
| Too short not even 200 mark. |

| @Yubisoft I already got it that you are stubborn and love saying controversial things but the best arc was in second season. And Aka definately cares about it way more than about Kaguya or he would have dragged a plot for another 100 chapters. |
| |
| Yeah, and that is for good. Though it should've many chapters ago, I feel. |
 |
| Hmph, I heard it fell off! |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

@RobertBobert I had an opposite impression.
| @Nachtwandler_21 @Softhenic03 Well, I don't think Aka will have the same problems with this as Gege. The last chapters are so rushed to the end that Aka even started throwing answers to all the questions right in the face. If everything develops logically, then 4 chapters will be enough for a logical ending for all subplots, I think. |

| @RobertBobert it is what it is. We'll see how it ends. |

| Open ending is the best bet but prolly no. |

Yubisoft said: I really feel bad for the fans who had certain expectations from Aka Akasaka only to find out that he stopped caring after the content that S1 adapted and also ended it so soon. Inventing shit out of nowhere still popular these days it seems. Do you have a source other than the shit direction of the manga for the final arc and the chapters before it? Or are you just trying to mislead anime onlies? |

| Maybe the real oshi were the siblings we made along the way. |

| I am so glad to have found [Oshi no Ko] since the premiere of the anime back in Springtime 2023. I am buying all the physical English volumes because this series is right up there in my alley --- it satisfies my intellectual taste. 😄 Not everyone will like this series as much as I do. 😣 But, thank you Aka Akasaka for writing Kaguya-sama and [Oshi no Ko]. My mind is enriched by the vales you taught through these two wonderful series. 😊 Keep going. Keep trudging along. Whatever series you have in mind (as long as it becomes a "hit" like Kaguya-sama and [Oshi no Ko], I will likely follow your works despite my limited time to read manga nowadays. 📚 |
