According to the leaked spoilers for Oshi no Ko Chapter 163, the story will continue directly from where it left off. As Aqua Hoshino sank further into the water and Crow Girl watched him, the scene transitioned into what appeared to be a dream or an alternate reality.

It’s important to recall that Sarina Tendouji had aspired to recover from her illness and become an idol like Ai Hoshino. Sadly, she lost her battle with anaplastic astrocytoma at the tender age of 12.

In this alternate dimension, Sarina is depicted as having undergone a successful life-saving operation, enabling her to flourish and grow into an idol alongside Ai Hoshino. Gorou Amamiya can be seen encouraging them during this dream sequence.

The spoilers from Oshi no Ko Chapter 163 mention that Aqua and Crow Girl watch this vision as they engage in conversation. A significant dilemma arises for Aqua: which identity is the true him, Aqua or Gorou?

Crow Girl emotionally embraces Aqua, reminiscing about his past as Aqua, insisting that’s who he fundamentally is. During this heartfelt moment, Aqua’s memories begin to flash before him. The Oshi no Ko Chapter 163 spoilers reveal Aqua’s vision blurring as he fades away.

In the climactic final moments, Aqua Hoshino vanishes entirely, leaving behind merely the Ai Hoshino keychain that Sarina had gifted him in his former life as Gorou Amamiya.

As Chapter 163 concludes, Crow Girl expresses a poignant sentiment:

“All of it was ‘you.’ It was Aqua Hoshino.”

Lastly, the initial spoilers confirm that there will be no hiatus next week. Fans should note that the manga by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari is nearing its finale. After the release of Chapter 163, only three chapters will remain, with weekly releases leading up to the series conclusion on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
