In chapter 148 of Oshi no Ko, titled ‘End of Summer,’ the characters from the ’15-Year Lie’ film spent a day at the beach with Minami Kotobuki and Taishi Gotanda. They convinced Gotanda to drive them there in his spacious car, which was perfect for the beach outing.

Later in the manga, Kana Arima attempts to seduce Aqua by requesting that he apply suntan oil on her. However, her plans are thwarted when Akane Kurokawa forcefully takes over the job.

As the evening went on, Akane let Aqua know that she would be watching him closely to prevent any rash actions, such as attempting to harm his father Hikaru Kamiki. Soon after, Kana Arima approached Akane and implored her to reconcile with Aqua, as she was the only one who could soften his heart.

Insights on Oshi no Ko chapter 149

It is highly likely that in Oshi no Ko chapter 149, Kana Arima’s point of view will be revealed regarding her decision to stop pursuing Aqua’s affections. In the previous chapter, she had attempted to convince him to apply suntan oil on her, but now she seems to have given up and is asking Akane to reunite with him.

Hence, the forthcoming manga chapter may elucidate the reasons behind Kana Arima’s decision to let go of her romantic feelings.
