Oshi no Ko

Description
The story begins with a beautiful girl, her perfectly fake smile, and the people who love her selfishly for it.

What transpires behind the scenes of the glittering showbiz industry? How far would you go for the sake of your beloved idol? What would you do if you found out reincarnation was real? The star of the show is Aquamarine Hoshino and the stage is but a mere façade. Will he manage to reach the climax before the world of glamour swallows him whole?

Note - This is by Akasaka Aka (Kaguya-Sama) and Mengo Yokoyari (Scum's Wish) That alone should be more than enough to recommend it for licensing.

I agree it should be licensed, but I always thought that JNC focused more on manga adaptations of LN series than manga originals. I’m not even sure if Viz is looking to license it yet.

Yea this being published in a Jump/Shueisha magazine definitely places it in Viz territory. However a couple Jump titles have been licensed by Seven Seas, those believed to have been opted out by Viz.

A quick count says that JNC has licensed only 6 manga titles without licensing a matching light novel (out of a total of 32):

This won the recent Next Manga awards run by niconico polling.

Bumping this one just to say it can be closed - it got licensed by Yen Press. And MangaPlus.
