THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE 2020 AKUTAGAWA PRIZE
‘My oshi was on fire. Word was he’d punched a fan’
High-school student Akari has only one passion in her life: her oshi, her idol. His name is Masaki Ueno, best known as one-fifth of Japanese pop group Maza Maza. Akari’s dedication to her oshi consumes her days completely. She keeps a blog entirely devoted to him, religiously chronicling & analysing all his events. He is the spine of her life; she cannot survive without him. When Masaki is rumoured to have assaulted a female fan, facing waves of social media backlash, Akari’s world falls apart.
Offering a vivid insight into otaku culture & adolescence, Idol, Burning is a brilliantly gripping story of obsession, coming of age & the addictive, relentless nature of fandom culture.
Born in 1999, Rin Usamiis a university student & writer. Her debut novel Kaka won the Bungei Prize and the Mishima Yukio Prize. Her second novel Oshi, Moyu / Idol, Burning won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize in 2020 & has become a phenomenon, selling over 500,000 copies in Japan alone. She lives in Japan. Asa Yoneda is a literary translator based in Bristol, UK, whose work includes The Lonesome Bodybuilder by Yukiko Motoya & Dead-End Memories by Banana Yoshimoto.
