The Oshi no Ko anime has been a big hit, but it hasn’t been without its controversies. Outside of that, the series is about to take a non-controversial break, with the official website announcing that episode 8 will now air on June 7.
A special “Looking Back” retrospective will air in its place—including interviews with the voice cast members behind Aqua and Ruby—and will then make its way to the official YouTube channel on June 1.
