Oshi no Ko chapter 155

Kana and Akane on the cover are so pretty

"My revenge...I mean, your revenge is over now." I can't decide if this means Aqua gave up on revenge after hearing the CD or if his revenge still isn't over.

Miyako why you being so shady

Oh. No shadiness. She cares about them so much I'm so happy

This panel reminds me of the scene from after Ai died. Ruby's empty eyes, her tears, hugging Miyako.

Aqua is actually a really selfless person when you think about it.

"You're my pride and joy." stoptstijfjjfjxnnghdjfjfh 😭😭😭thats so precious

..oouuhhh🥲 I really like the panel of Miyako patting his hair as he cries. And the fact that his face is not shown, it somehow makes the tears more impactful.

Also this is gonna sound weird but I am extremely bothered by the size of his ear.

Oh. He still wanted to kill Kamiki. He gave up on his revenge for Ruby's sake. Because Ruby chose to forgive their father. He did it for his sister. Ahaaaaaaaaahhrhdhfhdh

Akane looks so gorgeous here

Because she stopped imitating Ai? That's nice. I'm glad she made that decision

Who is the final villain I wonder

Ninoninoninoninoninoninonino

Nino let it go it's been eighteen years

Between love and hate on the peak of obsession

👆I took this from someone on discord

Very nice chapter overall. I'm excited for what they do with Nino. Our final villain is in sight

[denizenhardwick]

aqua please don't have an akechi arc holy shit

[lovinggreeniehours]

i would have answered the other asks already because i was just about to watch onk episode 1 until i saw it's OVER AN HOUR LONG?? 💀 AI????????????????

[psychopomp-namine]

I want to catch up on oshi no ko but I'm hearing that the ending is terrible lmao. actually not surprised to read spoilers that aqua [redacted] but I gotta know... did they at least humanize kamiki? did ruby finally realize the reincarnation plot? did they at least not butcher kana and akane's characterization? does frill actually... do anything? WHAT ABOUT THE KID WITH THE LONG HAIR, DID THEY WRAP UP THAT BIT AT LEAST

Oshi no Ko Season 1 Rewatch Liveblog!

With news of season 2's air date on the horizon, I thought now would be the best time to revisit season 1 and dig into it the same way I do my chapter reviews! These will not be anime only friendly and are from the perspective of a manga reader looking back at the early material and, lbr, just another excuse for me to spend hundreds of words screaming crying throwing up etc about my wife

Tomorrow (Feb 1st), I'll be liveblogging episode 1 because it's my birthday and I do what I want so if you don't want to see my liveblog posts, be sure to blacklist #onk rewatch. I will also be tagging them as #onk anime spoilers if you're an anime only and don't want to be spoiled!

Looking forward to having my heart ripped out once again!!!!

Chapter 149

I'm craving grilled meat now

Hmm romantic moon scene

Kanaaaaa :((((((

"You guys still love each other, right?" no they don't Kana she's just keeping him from committing murder

Not Kana acting like she's fine even though it's so obvious she is not. Relatable.

KANA NOO YOU'RE GREAT YOU'RE AWESOME I LOVE YOU DON'T SAY THAT

Also are these two gonna consider that Aqua really isn't in the best mental headspace to be dating people lolll

:(

Akane is right though, they don't have that sort of relationship anymore, but I suppose Kana's low self-esteem is speaking here

Like a mother to her child AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

she just wants him to find a good uni and get a good job😞

No he doesn't he's a dense rock who has Kamiki on his mind 24/7

I think you two should drop Aqua and get some ice cream together and paint each others' nails

Kana :((((

Akane is making some good points, seriously though.

Kana is always acting like she's 30, even though she's barely 19 (or 18??? I hate onk timeline)

The moment she grew out of being a cute kid, people stopped paying attention to her and turned their backs on her. She took it as sign that she's not a child anymore, I'm assuming she did this even in middle school. It makes me sad for her

Akane's right, Kana, grow some balls

Aaaaaaand they're back home

She's so pretty I wish she understood how amazing she is

Akane is at her doorstep. Huh

Why are Akanebros insulting Kana can't they see she's a Kanabro herself

"Why would you do that?" she already said she wants him to get into a good university and get a good job. Add a good girlfriend to the list

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA SHE WASN'T LYING WHEN SHE SAID SHE WAS LIKE A MOM

that's kinda creepy tho

"Stop looking at me with those eyes!" "what eyes? ⚫u⚫"

Wait don't tell me she's making him get a girlfriend to stop him from revenge. She REALLY doesn't want him to go down that path, does she.

Anyways that was chapter 149, the liveblogging was so fun, I love aka's little guys when they're not being incestous.

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 150

Hmm this is interesting

FINALLY we're doing something with the plot

Idk how to feel about Gorou honestly. Whatever he has going on with Sarina is definetly creepy, but atleast he doesn't seem to reciprocate...?

You see there's the problem. Ruby isn't able to let go of "Sarina" even if that's not who she is anymore. She's Ruby Hoshino now, and she has to learn to let go of the past.

It would make for SUCH an interesting arc, if only Aka was interested in developing Ruby as a character😮‍💨

Aka do something with Ruby I'm begging you

Ok so ignoring the weird undertones I am SO HAPPY about this because it basically confirms what I've been thinking of from that one chapter with Aqua and Kana at the start of the manga.

Aqua isn't Gorou, he's developed past the man known as "Gorou". Gorou is dead, and this is something Ruby can't make peace with.

Actually, thinking of this right now, maybe the REASON Ruby can't let go of Sarina is because she was a child when she died. She wants to experience the life she never got to, pretending to be Sarina. And her brain was never fully developed in the first place, so i suppose she can't really start anew? Unlike Gorou, who lived a full life, to some extent.

Also AQUA CALLED HER HIS PRECIOUS LITTLE SISTER DON'T TALK TO ME I AM CRYING

Aqukana crumbs hmm.

Also yeah Aqua is an adolescent! Good to finally have proper confirmation that the thing from the incest chapter was an act to make Ruby happy.

"You don't have to act anymore, you're free to love someone" AAAAAAAAAAAA

Dad(Aka) came back with the milk(the plot)

Cuties

"Cool" you know Aqua is a bit pathethic but alright

He definetly does alright

Tsundere on tsundere interaction(Aqua and Kana)

Also Mengo's artttttt delicious

Imaggeeee limittttt

Basically Kana texts Aqua asking if he's free on saturday and there's a panel of her flustered holding the phone and thinking "I am seriously inlove"

I guess I should be mad about this having a romance plotline but I'm really not. It can be used as a good developer for the characters

Unfortunately Aka seems to have an on-and-off amnesia when it comes to Knowing How To Write.

All in all, delicious chapter

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 162

Sorry for the wait

The art is glorious as always

So it's about feeling Ai's precense yeah

Bro's solution was to commit filicide😭

It's so Aquover

Also what are they gonna do with crow girl?? They had her set up as this big gun character only to...just cast her aside. OnK is ending soon and she didn't really do anything yes I know she reincarnated aqua and ruby that means nothing to me

I can NOT be seen sobbing over this

NO AAAAGSDHSGXGSGSGDGRG

I am a SUCKER for person dedicates life to protecting clueless sibling it does things to me

It'd be cool if ruby either never had the realisation moment since they kinda just tossed it aside or if they did something with it

My baby my baby you were my baby say it to me

Oh. Oh my God. Dude. This. This does things to me.

Oh. Oh. Oh.

This time I can die before you I scream at the top of every hill

Overall thoughts I'm not happy with some underutilised things and I'm still kinda sad that hikaru goes down the villain route out of nowhere, but this was a good chapter. It held so much emotion and the last line breaks me

The whole story was about being given a second chance to protect sarina

Help I'm talking as if this is the last chapter lol

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 161

Hmm Kamiki is watching the show

Hmm killing people to keep Ai on a pedestal hahahaha

This is fun

"The media and the public do not want the truth"

Very accurate, yeah. From personal experience most people only want to see a narrative that will make them feel better about themselves

AQUKANA CANON‼️‼️‼️

Falling in love AQUKANA CANON

CALLING MIYAKO SAN MOM😭😭👆💖😦🤬💝👆😔💪🥺🥺

Anyways Aqua has no sense of self worth I'll write an essay someday

Mengo art pretty

Oh and yeahhhh he's killing himself isn't he.

Aka shoving them Ruby-Ai parallels into the story when this is right here

LOOK AT HIM DHDUFI

Dude

THE SAME EXACT PART OF THE BODY

Why does he look like that

Anyways yeeeaaayy that was chapter 161 i honestly don't know how to feel it was a great chapter and I loved the character expressions

Still I'm not really on board with kamiki being the final villain. Aka can take whatever story path he wants it's just something I'm not personally a fan of

I suppose I can see it? But at the same time I can't. So he told nino they should turn in to the police but she refused, attempting to kill ruby which made him go back to the previous intention of killing anyone who might surpass Ai. I guess. I just wish it wasn't "Hikaru is the evil mastermind who manipulated everyone around him" it could've been selfish and accidental and about love how I wish it was selfish and accidental and about love.

Yeah.

Tune in for chapter 162

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 160

Alright.

Teehee

Silly guy

Denial mental illness moment

Or he's just being a liar

Let him talk about his gf, nino

Hm.

So that's the route we're going for

YESSS BEST PANEL

AMAZING

for clarification I am not all that excited about hikaru's character as it is currently, but this panel rules

crazy.

Gorgeous wonderful family I am eating them

Tbh I'm not that surprised with the way he went about it, hikaru acted the role of the innocent boy since he was a young child.

I just don't see where Aka is going with this

Aqua thought he'd get away scott free with saying Kana is easy to manipulate. No fr what was he manipulating her for i forgot

Hm. This is. More in character than I thought it would be? That's a plus at least.

But. Since when was Hikaru's arc about his talent.

Alabama love?

Ok I'm sorry I don't hate ruby that much. She's a sweet girl at heart but Aka really just made an incest plot and then. Carried on and never mention it again. Okay.

It is sweet to see how much Aqua cares about Runy though. He really cares for his sister

Oh it's about Sarina well okay. They never stopped seeing each other as gorou and sarina.

All in all, I do like sarina. She was just a girl hoping to be able to grow up to achieve her dreams. At her core she really just wanted to love and be loved central theme of the series haha

EYES OF LOVE EYES OF LOVE AAHADGHHC

AI IN THE PANEL LOOKIJG AT THEM THE EYES OF LOVE SHES LOOKING AT THEM WITH EYES OF LOVE

Sorry for the glazing but Mengo's art is still very pretty

Ok so. Aqua threatens kamiki with aknife and I suppose they'll either start fighting or Akane will intervene(because of course she will)

Well. That's the end of the chapter. I didn't hate it but I have no idea where Aka is going with Hikaru's character. I suppose everything before was meant to be him deceiving you but I hope not because it's just too late to have him turn out to be someone entirely else.

I just dislike how it was pulled off. The evil villain->actually really sympathethic dude->evil villain

And it's. Okay. I just think it wasn't very well written(i'm not that good of a writer myself so take this with a grain of salt)

I suppose part of me is just upset that my interpretation of him was totally wrong but also this twist just doesnt make sense to me

Why are we questioning who the villain is and the villain's motivation in the final arc

Well, stick around for chapter 161

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 159

Oh no

So we're doing the "it's too late to go back" i see

Knife murder incident 2.0 prevented

That. That wasn't Ruby?

Wish it was tbh(i'm not saying I want ruby to die but I'd like the ai-ruby parallels)

Crazy

NINO WAS DATING RYOSUKE??

Insane. Crazy

(Imagine how devestated she felt though.)

Oh.

So that's it

And if I said that Nino was was idol obsessed fanatics personified-

SHE JUST WANTS AI TO REMAIN SPECIAL IT'S ABOUT KEEPING HER ON THE PEDESTAL THAT'S IT

HOW DID I NOT REALISE

AND NINO IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF EVERYONE WHO PAINTS AI AS A DEITY AND-

she just wanted to be friends :(

Mengo's art saves the day yet again

I have no idea what kind of smile this is

It seems that Hikaru shall become the lying liar who lies, which is unfortunate

This can be used as amazing storytelling I'm just sad lol

All my hikaru rambling under the bridge

Tune in for chapter 160!

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 158

The art is as stunning as ever

Oh no Nino

So now that Ruby is surpassing Ai Nino is upset? Why? I know she wants Ai to stay the most radiant but why? So that she can continue to be hated by Nino in all her radiance?

I suppose it's one of those "between love and hate on the peak of obsession" type of things

Akane! :D

Akane what are you up to.

Is Akane worried about Kana?

Yea. Kana is more of an actor than an idol.

And it's very unfortunate.

Nino is the one who broke the CD thing I suppose.

Ruby be careful with this don't idolize her death pleaseeeee

Wow Kamiki really does feel guilty

THEY KILLED RYOSUKE??

Nino what's wrong with you Ai made you angry on accident once and you start this whole charade😭

Why are you beefing with an 18 yo now

Crow girl ayyyyy

These lines are very interesting

Last day of the tour something bad is going to happen something bad is going to happen something bad is going to happen something b

NINO???

PLEASE don't tell me that this story will end with Ruby paralleling her mother's death

That'd be just cruel

Biggest cliffhanger yet hang around for chapter 159!

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 157

Some sort of concert?

Ruby looks so happy here :>

Not being able to buy souvenirs is the saddest part here

Yay aqua ruby alone time :D

Let's hope it doesn't turn into incest :D

Wow it's actually relatively normal

It's nice that ruby gets to live a life she couldn't as Sarina

This is actually really sweet

Crying they're a happy family

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Adorable

Nothing happened this chapter again, but I enjoyed it nevertheless

Adorable fluff is needed sometimes too

Stick around for ch 158!

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 152

"I dedicate this movie to Ai" alr

DHfhsbdhdhd i completely forgot that they finished the movie

I see it was a tear jerker

Frill's crying too bruh😭

Is it bad that i find her sobbing face cute

"Poor acting? Who is she referring to?"

"It's you"

💀💀💀they had no reason to hate on ruby like that

Actually they have a reason ruby is very incestous

Aww Melt says she did good

Oh he feels guilty for introducing the two to eachother

I honestly don't know if them meeting was for the better or worse

"And for those children's sake" 🥺

I like how this movie is a memento for Ai of sorts

BABY AIIII😫

It's sweet that he genuinely wanted to help her

Oh I remember this. It was a scene from somewhere at the start of the manga, i think

I want to say "he's so edgy" but also he has issues and I just want him to learn that it's okay to love people

YES YES he cares about them and that's why he distances himself.

also who's recording. Is that who I think it is??

Aqua honey that hairstyle is atrocious fix it I'm begging you

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DGDHSHDDVDGSV THEY FINALLY MEET HDCYDHDHDU THEY FINALLY MEETTTTTT

Why is Hikaru the one recording? Is he doing it as an interviewer? Is that his role as the sponsor of the movie? Is this something set up by him?

Also. He's. I apologize for not being full on seriois but. He's hot

He took their mother indeed

Also. It's just so funny that. Aqua just guessed who the perpetrator of Ai's death was and it somehow turned out to be correct. Imagine if he was wrong it would've been so funny. But that's an AU for another time

I'm literally screaming about this panel I love it literally awesome art father and son finally face each other and well they look so alike

Also I don't know about Aqua's revenge. It's definetly not healthy but as someone lucky enough to not have exerienced a traumatic situation caused by someone I feel like I don't have much right to talk here. For some people hatred is the only thing keeping them going. They would die without it.

Again not healthy but they need it to survive. The human brain's main objective is survival

Aaaaaaand that was chapter 152. We're entering the final arc with this and I'm excited to see how it will go down at this point

See you all for chapter 153!

[sunsetsmakemesad]

Oshi no Ko chapter 151

Awwww baby Kana is sooo cute

Good to know at least some people still see and praise her acting skills

THEYRE GOING ON A DATE AWWWWWW YEAHHHHH

Aqua continues to look breathtaking, Mengo's skills really are improving with every chapter.

Aww she's probably reminiscing the time when they skipped school

Yeah that was it

How many posters of Aqua is there in Japan. Sometimes I forget these characters are famous.

Paralels to that old chapter I see. Hmm Aqua is still manifesting that guilt from not being able to save Ai.

Watch him become a doctor again then die and reincarnate again and see his new mom get killed at like two years old and he is again powerless to do anything

/j

Aww Kana thinks it suits him

AAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA

(It wasn't her dream :( )

Alr no point in getting sad about this chapter let's move on

"In a sense, it was a life without dreams" Kana I will eat you j̶s̶y̶x̶y̶h̶s̶h̶x̶u̶s̶i̶s̶b̶x̶u̶j̶k̶

Normally I'd make fun of Aqua but he looks gorgeous in this chapter so props to him I guess

The romance continues.

Kana it'd be good to consider he has issues and a relationship wouldn't work out but somehow this was a confession which dudn't involve romance or relationships, it simply asked for love

Anddd, that's chapter 151!
