Oshi Push is a new trading card game (TCG) produced by Japanime Games in collaboration with VTuber agency Phase Connect. The project was recently funded on Kickstarter, collecting $503,738 (USD). The project took two hours to reach its funding goal. With a host of Phase Connect VTubers from whom to choose, including starter sets for Pippa and Tenma, the game offers a fantastic new way to get behind your favorite virtual idol.

Cards, Subs, and Inappropriate Jokes
The game is designed by Justin Gary of Stoneblade Entertainment, who brought us the card games Ascension and Solforge. Here’s the designer talking about the game:
The project raised $503,738 from over two thousand backers, smashing past their $50,000 goal. That’s an average of $239 per backer. Please keep in mind, though, that some of those backers are retailers with racks to fill and an inventory budget. That also means you should look for the game in brick-and-mortar stores near you.
Top of the TCG Pile
The race for your hard-earned dollars is on. Besides Oshi Push, at least two other games might be worth your attention.
Cover Corporation and Bushiroad are collaborating on the Hololive Official Card Game. Its scheduled release is in September, and Bushiroad has an excellent track record producing cards of everyone’s favorite waifus. Their latest releases include Oshi No Ko set.
Meanwhile, Shylily, another VTuber, features in the VCard TCG, which is currently under development. Those dollars of yours are honestly in the crosshairs. Good luck!
