Aqua’s Love Interests Revealed: Who Will He End Up With in Oshi no Ko?

Oshi no Ko features vibrant characters intertwined in a captivating and somewhat heartwrenching storyline. But what about the romance aspect? Who will ultimately find love in this series?

When exploring potential relationships, the focus centers on Aqua Hoshino. Let’s delve into the romantic possibilities involving Aqua.

1. Akane is Head over Heels for Aqua

Akane Kurokawa has had an infatuation with Aqua since the LoveNow reality series arc, where Aqua saved her life. They even dated, albeit as part of a show, much to the delight of fans who dubbed them the “Blue and the Blonde.”

Despite Aqua’s exterior demeanor of being focused solely on revenge, he grapples with the reality that he cannot involve Akane in his intricate plots for vengeance.

Aqua prioritizes a purpose above all else, aside from perhaps his sister, Ruby. Though he embodies a nice guy beneath the surface, a relationship with Akane seems unlikely—especially with Kana as a formidable rival.

It’s also worth noting that Akane’s intense obsession with Aqua was quite unhealthy until recently. Typically, the jealous and obsessed characters do not end up with their love interests in anime, suggesting Akane’s pretend relationship might remain just that.

2. Kana is the Star that Can Bring Aqua Back

Kana Arima has been experiencing a redemption arc since the beginning of the series. She has shed her foul-mouthed and arrogant past and is now searching for confidence and companionship.

After meeting Aqua and Ruby and joining B-Komachi, Kana has flourished. Her role is pivotal to the storyline.

Aqua and Kana have shared significant moments, but Aqua hesitates to pursue a relationship with her, believing he is unworthy. His past failures, especially regarding Ai, weigh heavily on his conscience.

Many manga fans consider Kana the primary choice for Aqua, and it appears that the author may be steering the narrative in this direction. While Oshi no Ko primarily isn’t a romance or harem series, the interactions among characters are essential to the plot.

Kana Arima serves as Aqua’s guiding star, potentially leading him back to a positive path. However, with so much unfolding in the story, romance may not take center stage just yet.

While some fans speculated on the possibility of Aqua and Ruby as a joke, the bond between the siblings remains familial—Aqua harbors only love for Ruby, dismissing any romantic implications.

3. About Oshi no Ko
