My oshi, the international bestseller and winner of the 2020 Akutagawa Prize, was on fire. Rumor had it that he had punched a fan. High-school student Akari had only one passion in her life: her oshi, her idol. His name was Masaki Ueno, best known as one-fifth of the Japanese pop group Maza Maza.
Akari's dedication to her oshi consumed her days completely. She kept a blog entirely devoted to him, religiously chronicling and analyzing all his events. He was the spine of her life; she couldn't survive without him. When Masaki was rumored to have assaulted a female fan, facing waves of social media backlash, Akari's world fell apart.
Offering a vivid insight into otaku culture and adolescence, Idol, Burning is a brilliantly gripping story of obsession, coming of age, and the addictive, relentless nature of fandom culture.
