| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- It was unfortunately expected how things were gonna turn out. Akane bullied to hell online by everyone, leading her to getting really depressed and trying to kill herself, luckily our boi Aqua was there to save her, I wasn't expecting him to have to be so direct at preventing her demise, but it seems that their conversation is happening now, wonder what he'll say. |
| Stop reading those comments honey, they are from mediocre people who put their expectations and dreams on other people and get disappointed or angry when things don't go as planned. You are famous dear, the criticisms will not disappear so you must ignore them and accept them as part of the job, you are beautiful and you must not let someone else make you think otherwise. |
 |
| Looks like Kana and Ruby's going to get a new member.... |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Twitter loves drama, they always say the most hurtful things and they don’t even feel bad about it. It was expected to take a turn like this but I didn’t think she would actually try to kill herself. I hope Aqua’ll be able to make her feel better about herself. |
 |
| This is why cyber bullying in general is fucked, and the Japanese idol industry is probably one of the worst examples too |
  |
| There are so many dumb and retards in the world. Woa wasn't expecting Aqua to pop up like that. |
 |
| back to the root aren't you aka. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Oof, this was a really cruel chapter. But yeah, that's how retarded the fanbases are sadly. Seeing Akane hurt so much when she has such a good and honest personality felt really sad... and after each page I was like isn't the author too cruel? But people are this retarded and toxic as well as desperate. They only need a reason as vague as it may be to bring you down. I liked how Aqua saved her from suicide. Otherwise, this would've been another down for me. First Ai, now Akane (ノ_<。). |
 |
| I really like the way this chapter tackles the issue of cyberbullying, it's very effective in getting its point across. |
| 400lb otaku who live in their moms basements criticizing a teenage girl, how down bad do they have to be. Japanese cancel culture, cancel culture in general is disgusting. |
 |
| Fantastic portrayal of how badly cyberbullying can harm an individual, if only Akane knew to shut out the hateful comments but easier said than done |
| Akasaka-sensei really is something else. This chapter was phenomenal and actually brought tears out of me. He really showed us how brutal this was. No punches were pulled. Of course, this was also possible because of Yokoyari-sensei's superb art. As I was reading, the case of Hana Kimura kept popping up in my head. I felt like it was really similar. And as we got closer to the end, it felt ominously more and more similar to the point where I was afraid where it was headed. Just in the nick of time, thankfully, our Aqua was there. All my tension melted, and my eyes got real watery there. Thank you for that, Aqua. He won't let anyone be destroyed by the brutal entertainment industry just like how his mother died because of it. I do wonder what he'll say to Akane though, but I bet Akane will be part of the new B-Komachi. The translation I'm reading has an appendix at the end written by the translator where they give context about Hana Kimura. I already knew the incident, but not in as much detail as he provided. That's where I realised these mangaka who created Oshi no Ko were amazing. Reading an article or watching a video about it can tell us their pain, and why they did what they did. But seeing it happen to Akane like this, seeing it directly from her perspective... That made it really real. Painfully real. It was sad that there was no Aqua to save Hana Kimura that day. But hopefully, nothing like this will ever happen again. That seems like a far-fetched fantasy, so the best we can hope is probably that things like these will continue to decrease. Thank you, Akasaka-sensei, Yokoyari-sensei. You two have earned my deepest respect. And it has made Oshi no Ko a favourite of mine. And also, maybe the most important thing that came out of this chapter, it gave me a new perspective on the Hana Kimura incident. I think that really shows the power of art. This manga is definitely no exception. Rest in peace, Hana Kimura. |
 |
| THANKS AQUA! thank goodness This chapter...fuck. Poor Akane :( What's worse, is that this in real life actually happens. |
| #CancelCancelCulture Seriously tho, Cancel Culture is even more dangerous than what I have heard.   For those who were unaware of the Kimura Hana - Terrace House incident, which is probably where the mangaka took inspiration from. |

| These clowns on internet don't have lives, so you don't really have to get worked up over their intellectual opinions. Have to appreciate the sense of realism they portrayed. Power to Akane. |
 |
| This is the most real portrait of internet. They know only one side of the story and try to judge people based on it. Reading the appendix made me realise why Akasaka tried to shed some light on this topic |
 |
| Seriously, if cyber-bullying leads to death, all the hateful people involved should be IP-tracked and prosecuted. Makes you hate mankind... Most of these haters are human garbage, living a miserable life. This was a heavy chapter. It was obvious where things were going. Big sigh of relief at the end. |
| Yup!!! This point of the story is where "Oshi no Ko" became one of my many favorites!!!! Looking back, the anime did an excellent job here!!! |
