15. Oshi no Ko

• Why it’s popular: The "Entertainment District Arc" broke streaming records. It features a simple, wholesome plot (boy becomes demon slayer to save his sister) executed with absolute perfection.

• Recommendation: Anime strictly. The manga is finished and good, but the anime adapts it into a masterpiece.
