Current Developments in the ‘Toward the Stars and Dreams’ Arc

The concluding arc, known as ‘Toward the Stars and Dreams’, delves into the repercussions of the film The 15-Year Lie. The B-Komachi group is now on a quest to achieve their dreams as they strategize their next moves, leading to a climactic confrontation with Hikaru Kamiki.

In a pivotal moment, Aqua confronts Hikaru regarding Ai’s tragic death. Hikaru admits his involvement but shifts blame, alleging that Ai abandoned him during his time of need. In a twist of fate, Aqua presents a DVD where Ai expresses her unconventional love for Hikaru, complicating the narrative.

Despite Hikaru’s confessions, Aqua intuitively senses that Hikaru is not the sole architect of the deaths surrounding them; he suspects Fuyuko Niino, a former B-Komachi member, may be pulling the strings. Simultaneously, Nino comes to grips with Ruby eclipsing Ai’s legacy as a star, leading her to devise a sinister plot against Ruby.

In a shocking turn of events, Nino, disguised as Akane, attacks Ruby, revealing her dark intentions. Meanwhile, the true Nino is revealed to be restrained by Ichigo Saitou. The conflict escalates as Aqua confronts Hikaru, who has manipulated Nino into her deadly schemes aimed at Ruby.

Faced with the urgency to protect Ruby at all costs, Aqua formulates a desperate plan: he contemplates a self-inflicted injury, framing Hikaru for the act, leading to a fatal plunge off a cliff for both of them. The emotional weight of Chapter 164 culminates in Aqua’s tragic demise, with Akane grieving on the beach, signifying profound loss.
