1. Manga FR: The Latest Volume Release from Kurokawa

Editions Kurokawa, the official French publisher, has maintained a consistent release schedule for the *Oshi no Ko* manga, allowing French readers to keep pace with the dramatic events unfolding in the original Japanese serialization.

  • Latest Confirmed French Volume: The most anticipated release for French readers is Volume 15 of the manga.
  • Release Date: Volume 15 is officially scheduled for release in France in May 2025.
  • The Final Act: As the original Japanese manga by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari concluded with Volume 16 in December, French fans can expect Volume 16, the final installment, to follow shortly after the Volume 15 release, likely in the second half of 2025. This will complete the epic story of Ai Hoshino's children and the revenge plot.
  • Collector's Editions: Kurokawa has previously released special collector's editions (e.g., for Volume 6), and fans should watch for similar announcements for the final volumes, which are often highly sought after by collectors in France.

The French edition ensures that readers can fully appreciate the nuanced character development of key figures like Kana Arima, Akane Kurokawa, and the enigmatic producer Gotanda, without waiting for unofficial translations.

2. Anime FR: Season 2 VF/VOSTFR Status on ADN and Season 3 Confirmation

The anime adaptation, produced by Doga Kobo, has been a massive hit, and its availability in France is centered on the streaming platform ADN (Animation Digital Network), which offers both VOSTFR (Original Version with French Subtitles) and VF (French Dub).

Season 2 Streaming and Dub Status

  • VOSTFR Simulcast: *Oshi no Ko* Season 2 was successfully simulcast on ADN in France, starting on July 3, 2024. This allowed French fans to watch the new episodes, covering the "2.5D Stage Play Arc," almost simultaneously with the Japanese broadcast.
  • VF (French Dub) Update: While the VOSTFR simulcast is complete, the French dub (VF) for Season 2 typically follows the subbed release. Given that Season 1 is already available in both VOSTFR and VF on ADN, French fans can expect the Season 2 VF to be available on the platform soon, allowing a new wave of viewers to experience the drama with French voice acting.

Season 3 and Beyond

  • Season 3 Confirmed: The biggest news for anime fans is the official confirmation of *Oshi no Ko* Season 3.
  • Release Date: Season 3 is scheduled to premiere in January 2026.
  • Streaming Platform: The third season will be streamed on Crunchyroll, which has secured the rights for the global broadcast, including the French market. This shift in platform from ADN for the simulcast is a critical detail for French viewers to note.

The wait until 2026 for Season 3 will be challenging, but the focus on developing the story and animation quality promises a powerful continuation of the narrative, especially as the story delves deeper into the lives of the characters like Mem-Cho and Frill Shiranui.

3. Live-Action FR: Global Premiere on Prime Video

In a major development that expands the *Oshi no Ko* universe beyond manga and anime, a live-action adaptation is set to debut, and its release strategy ensures immediate access for the French audience.

  • The Drama Series: The live-action adaptation will begin as a drama series consisting of eight episodes.
  • Global Premiere Date: The series will start exclusive global streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 28. This means French Prime Video subscribers will have access to the drama series on the same day as the rest of the world.
  • The Movie: Following the series, a live-action movie titled *The Final Act* will be released.
  • Movie Release: *The Final Act* is scheduled for release in cinemas on December 20. While the cinema release is global, French fans should check local listings for specific theater availability.

This live-action project is a huge opportunity for the franchise to reach an even wider mainstream audience in France, crossing over from the traditional seinen manga and anime fan base to general streaming viewers interested in the dark side of the idol industry.

Topical Authority: The French Impact of Oshi no Ko's Core Themes

The success of *Oshi no Ko* in France isn't just about timely releases; it's about the resonance of its core themes. The series tackles heavy subjects—such as cyberbullying, the pressure of fame, the toxic nature of the idol industry, and the concept of a multi-generational revenge plot—which have sparked significant discussion among French critics and fans.

The French reception has highlighted the sharp contrast between the glittering facade of Ai Hoshino's idol career and the brutal reality faced by her children, Aqua and Ruby. The intricate narrative structure, which moves between the superficial world of show business and the profound emotional depth of the characters, is often praised. The French editions and dubs have done an excellent job of preserving the original script's intensity, ensuring the themes of truth, lies, and the search for genuine connection remain impactful for the French-speaking audience. The continued popularity of the franchise is a testament to the universal appeal of its complex characters and shocking narrative twists.

With a major manga volume release in May 2025, the live-action drama on Prime Video in November, and the highly anticipated Season 3 coming in 2026, the world of *Oshi no Ko* in France is entering its most crucial and exciting phase yet. Fans should keep their subscriptions to ADN and Prime Video current and check Kurokawa's schedule to ensure they do not miss any part of this captivating story.
