Both mangas put focus upon the Idol industry, with in-depth perspectives upon the struggles that are faced daily. It further delves into the darker aspects, highlighting grotesque elements often covered by media. The leading Idols (In this case, Ai and Karen) are similar, they both flourish within the Idol industry at a young age, and are consequently followed by a tragedy, which expands to a bigger mystery. Both mangas aim to not only shine light upon the misdeeds that are the result of the idol community but to entirely showcase toxic issues (over-sexualization, assaults, etc) that are experienced often. Sayonara Miniskirt provides a similar storyline to Oshi no ko, with a desire to track down the assailant that triggered a tragedy of its own. The only difference, whilst small, includes the fact Karen (the idol) remains the leading protagonist. I highly recommend this to lovers of Oshi no Ko and those who are highly interested in the realm of dark Idol mangas. Sayonara Miniskirt does an excellent job at execution upon the basis of its storyline.  read more 

They both take more realistic, dramatic takes on what it's like to be a Japanese idol. The main character is a famous idol who gets attacked by a crazy fan and does whatever it takes to disappear from them.
