I finished Oshi No Ko s3 and now I'm sad because it will be some time before s4 releases. I'm not really into dramas, but enjoyed this one; is there anything else similar?

    In my opinion, it's gonna be hard to find something close to OnK. It mixes some elements that are hard to find together in other works. The closest thing I can think of is Perfect Blue.

    There are some other shows that come to my mind, but they only share similarities with some aspects of OnK, not all of them.

    If you liked the insight into the entertainment industry, you might like Shirobako, or Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju if it was the performing arts that caught your attention.

    If you liked the dramatic take on

    OnK S1E1reliving your life, then ReLIFE might be to your liking.

    If the main thing that caught your attention were realistic human interactions, then you might find some of these interesting, even though some of them are completely different thematically:

    If it was the

    general OnK spoilerrevenge plot that you liked, then there's Vinland Saga and Gankutsuou, even though I personally didn't like the latter.

    I think the things I liked the most about OnK were how it focused on relationships between the characters and Aqua generally playing 4D chess. The showbiz theme was interesting, but I could take it or leave it. I'll also say I was fortunate enough to go in more or less blind.

    plot spoilerAi's murder and general revenge plot hooked me hard.

    I've seen Mushoku Tensei and the following and enjoyed them, but I'll check out the others:

    Thank you.
