The official Twitter account for the manga series Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, with the username @kaguya_comic, revealed in 2021 that Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is set in the same world as another manga series by Aka Akasaka titled Oshi no Ko.

Even though they are in the same universe, Oshi no Ko & Kaguya-sama have a time difference of several years, which is not specifically explained.

"[Oshi no Ko] is set several years after Kaguya-sama, and it seems that the student organization members will also become members of society."

With the published tweet, it can be concluded that Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama are in the same universe with a time difference of "several" years.

After the statement came out from the official Twitter account for the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War manga, some fans began to speculate that the Oshi no Ko character named Frill Shiranui might have something to do with the character Koromo Shiranui from the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War series.

In fact, the descriptions of the way the two enter class are also quite similar to each other.
