as much as i did go "DAYUM" after reading this chapter, if they really think that I'm going to be sympathetic to Kamiki in any way, then Aka's sorely mistake here especially with the reactions here to this chapter in this thread lol

I can't man. This has to be the most stupid chapter yet lol, even worse than those set of chapters when the author was hellbent over pushing his incest agenda.

If this is some sort of trolling, then please stop here itself.

I mean, she really did want to be with him forever but broke up and lied about not being able to love him because he was being crushed by everything around him and figured she was doing him a favor. I'm not trying to argue or anything it just seems like you're mocking her for saying one thing followed by the complete opposite when she was pretty clear about why she said the first thing while actually meaning the second thing.

What a copout... Honestly, why are most storywriters pulling punches nowadays?

What would be so wrong with having the main villain STAY evil, try to stab Aqua but get caught on camera live and sent to jail, as the final instance of revenge?

Why does every villain need to be "mIsUnDeRsToOd"?

@F_E_A_R Oshi no Ko has always been about very human characters and the effects of the entertainment industry, a complex villain is more fitting than a pure evil one for this type of manga

No, what I meant was how everything was concluded with just a single sentiment, misunderstanding. It's as if father would've never killed anyone if Ai was clear and told him these things on his face, which obviously isn't true. I mean he literally tried to push Ruby off the stairs or something when they first met, with obvious hostility, just for Akane to come in time.

@Softhenic03 Ah I understand now, yea it really is pretty crazy to think this all could have been avoided if that initial misunderstanding never happened.

You boiled down a character being raped and groomed into just impregnating a woman, so you're either just a hater, and will twist everything to hate on this series, or a retard that don't understand what pedophilia.


I also i don't know where you live, but the average common person realize that a minor dating a adult is a outright traumatic experience for the minor, where he is a clear victim.

Perfect. The fact that this revenge is not about making him miserable by lies or something like killing him, but showing him the truth, out of that 15-Year lie, the only thing he couldn't see and now it's too late. I believe it was the best way Ruby and Aqua could have gotten revenge. Now I only hope they can move on.

I didn't understand a few things in this chapter. Ruby interpreted Ai in this scene, but did she really know Ai's true feelings? If so, how did they find out? If not, were Ai's feelings truly real?

One more thing, is the revenge over? What are they going to do now? Hikaru is already completely fucked up

Hikaru says he only wanted to "scare Ai", which may be true when he was younger. But Hikaru has still killed people in the present, this time purposefully. Is this his way of coping after indirectly killing Ai? perhaps he wants to protect his personal image of Ai by making sure no others reach her popularity. I wonder what will happen to him now that he has learned the truth.

I am sorry i kinda understand the narrative of this chapter and what aqua & ruby are doing but something doesnt add up especially Hikaru's perspective. First of all theres lot of crimes and other stuff hes done thats unaccounted for which are yet to be resolved. I feel hes got something up his sleeve plus he's a talented actor at that so i am gonna hold off my judgement till the next chapter showing us more.
I hope theres really more to this.

It is salvageable yet. It's ok to have more details on villain's motives, it doesn't make him any better or worse of a person. The most important will be whether this "revenge" is THE revenge the author have been cooking all this time or there's something else in the store. There better be.

@Softhenic03 How exactly is it bad? People say things they don't really mean all the time. It's realistic to be scared and push people away who you actually love. I've been in the exact same situation once myself.

Ai is such a strong woman! She's not even sad that she's pregnant. She's not even fazed that she's saying, "It's over, Hikaru." She's a strong-willed woman! [Oshi no Ko] is a tragic and romantic manga series. And, Aqua revealed that Ai truly did love Hikaru. Ai wanted to be with Hikaru and raise a family with him. But, she decided to push him away, or, break-up with him, cause she doesn't want to add a burden to the weight of life he's already carrying. This series, and this chapter, it's heartbreaking!😩💔 Aqua's crying. Ruby's listening outside. Hikaru is breaking. AI's 15-Year-Lie movie is a timeless love letter to Hikaru, as well as the twins' revenge on their father. Everything's messed up! But, the backstory and flashbacks are well thought-out!! 😖 Aka Akasaka is an amazing writer.... 😩🥺

I think many fail to understand the intricacies of this arc. The chapter was brilliant in my opinion. I don't know why people are so hell bent on having the villain play a dark all negative kind of character towards the very end. You push that narrative and so when something like this happens, you suddenly get angry.

I did feel bad for Hikaru, especially his past where he was sexually exploited by that older woman. Honestly, Ai was simply trying to save him from the trouble when she 'dumped' him. He would have easily been arrested, called as a pedo, r#pist, sex offender and what not. His career would have been long over. But yes, Ai way of doing it was not honest which emotionally destroyed Hikaru. I can sympathize with him and wished he could have received proper guidance and healing from his traumatic issues.

But that didn't happen. And so however messy his past was, it doesn't excuse his murders and schemes. And I don't think this author will excuse it either. Hikaru's career will be destroyed anyway after this movie releases. So Hikaru will either-
Turn himself in.
Try to kill himself
Or do something stupid or harm someone like a true psycho.

I'm leaning towards option 1 but maybe it won't be that easy. It is definite that something WiLL happen. So I don't know why some readers are upset/ angry about. The story is not over yet. And I guess I'm one of the few ppl who loved how this story turned up.

I don't want Aqua to stay in his past and think about revenge. He deserves to live his life like normal. I also hope Ruby sees Aqua as Aqua and not the doctor and moves on from her past as well. And also for Aqua to eventually end up with Kana lol. Let's see what happens.

@yoroshikus Me too. I enjoyed it. And seeing how this story always delved about the dark side of the entertainment industry, I think they brought out Hikaru character v well. And we sympathize with him, but ofc it doesn't excuse his actions and murders. I do think he will get punished for his deeds. The story is not over yet. We'll see what happens and how this pans out.

@thebrentinator24 exactly. She was just a bit too socially inadept at understanding this would probably be more traumatic for Kamiki, so it's interesting to see how even Ai couldn't communicate effectively with someone she was in "love" with. Seems like the film they mentioned kinda made sense
