Oshi no Ko Chapter 148: Akane’s Warning to Aqua and Kana’s Defeat

The publication of Oshi no Ko chapter 148 featured the characters from the ’15-Year Lie’ film taking a break on a beach. To everyone’s surprise, Akane and Kana both had their sights set on Aqua and were determined to see her find happiness in life, though their methods for achieving this differed.

In the previous chapter of the manga, Hikaru Kamiki was seen sharing his umbrella with Ruby Hoshino at the shrine. However, before Hikaru could make a move on his daughter, Akane Kurokawa appeared and saved Ruby. The manga then quickly moved on from the rest of the movie’s filming.

This article includes spoilers from the Oshi no Ko manga.

In chapter 148 of Oshi no Ko, titled End of Summer, the characters from the ’15-Year Lie’ movie enjoyed a beach outing with Minami Kotobuki and the film’s director, Taishi Gotanda. Ruby was excited to be on a holiday after a long time, while Gotanda complained about having to supervise the children on a Sunday. The group had invited the director to join them, as his car could accommodate all of them.

Despite his disappointment, Gotanda was a natural when it came to playing the role of a father on trips. It was during one of these trips that Aqua disclosed that Gotanda had bought his car with the intention of going on camping trips with his family. However, this dream never became a reality.

Shortly after, the actors initiated a conversation about their schedules. During this discussion, Frill Shiranui disclosed her plans to take a two-month break and relax, causing Ruby and Kana to feel envious.

After a short while, Ruby and Minami brought over the drinks for Taiki Himekawa and Melt Narushima. The boys were captivated by the girls, with Taiki feeling particularly perplexed due to Ruby being his half-sister. Melt, being a fan of Frill, was eager to see her in action, but upon seeing her in her scuba diving gear, he quickly changed his mind.

After that, Kana Arima attempted to convince Aqua Hoshino to let her apply suntan oil on him. However, Akane Kurokawa took control and applied the oil on Kana instead. Later that evening, Akane approached Aqua and told him that she was closely monitoring him to ensure he did not disobey his father, Hikaru Kamiki.

According to Akane Kurokawa, the movie would result in social consequences for Hikaru. Moreover, it was essential for Ruby to seek vengeance against her father in the climax. Therefore, Aqua’s pursuit of his father was unnecessary. Akane also cautioned Aqua that his actions would bring unhappiness to the people he cares about if he were to kill his father.

Upon reuniting with the others, Akane was approached by Kana Arima, who revealed that Aqua was most joyful in Akane’s presence. Keeping this in mind, Kana implored Akane to reconcile with Aqua, as she was the only one who could truly melt his heart.
