According to purported spoilers for chapter 153 of Oshi no Ko, the next installment will be called “Fiction.”The chapter began with Aqua Hoshino confronting Hiikaru Kamiki, the biological father of Taiki Himekawa, Ruby Hoshino, and himself, over allegations of murdering Ai Hoshino.

Despite labeling the movie as a work of fiction, Hikaru Kamiki was still thoroughly impressed by Aqua Hoshino’s investigative abilities. Hoshino had delved into Kamiki’s backstory and delivered a captivating film that was highly enjoyable for audiences. Kamiki was particularly impressed by the actors’ ability to portray their characters with a dark and alluring charm.

The movie contained fabricated and exaggerated scenes in order to conceal inconvenient truths, turning it into a generic form of entertainment.

In chapter 153 of Oshi no Ko, spoilers revealed that Hikaru went into more detail about the movie’s fabrication. The scene where Hikaru and Ai kiss is portrayed in a way that is appropriate for their age and suggests mutual love between them. However, this was not the case in reality.

In truth, only Hikaru relied on Ai. The true Ai appeared to not have fallen into that type of love, while the real Hikaru was even more desperate for love than what was portrayed in the film. As for Hikaru, Ai was capable of taking care of herself. Their relationship had lasted for a while solely because she found it challenging to turn him down.

Based on Hikaru’s account, it can be inferred that Ai Hoshino did not reciprocate his feelings. He was the one desperately holding onto a woman who had turned him down. As a result, Hikaru grew resentful towards Ai and ultimately orchestrated her death. However, the actual version of events was more grounded and lacked the exaggerated emotions.

Despite the movie’s imminent release, Hikaru Kamiki was convinced that he would face complete social destruction, which would ultimately help Aqua achieve his true objective. In the latest chapter of Oshi no Ko, chapter 153 spoilers revealed that Hikaru Kamiki admitted to being left with no viable options. He also expressed his willingness to accept any form of retaliation from Ai, as he truly loved her with all his heart.

Immediately after, Hikaru conveyed to Aqua his gratitude for having been able to have a conversation with his son. Despite their nearly non-existent relationship, he sincerely expressed that he was genuinely happy about it.

Upon encountering Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers, Aqua intervened and prevented Hikaru Kamiki from making further assumptions. She questioned Hikaru’s understanding of the “15-year lie”surrounding Ai.

As Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers continued, the focus shifted to Hikaru Kamiki’s flashback. It revealed the events that took place after Seijuro Uehara and Airi Himekawa’s tragic deaths. At their funeral, Mr. Kindaichi reminded Hikaru that he was now responsible for carrying their burdens. This thought terrified Hikaru, knowing that his actions had indirectly led to their deaths.

Immediately following, leaked spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 153 revealed the contrast that Hikaru perceived in his connections with Airi and Ai. Airi Himekawa used to scorch him with her intense and superficial admiration, always pursuing him for his looks alone. As a result, the phrase “I love you”had lost its significance to him.

Despite feeling that his relationship with Ai was unique, Hikaru soon realized that he had misinterpreted their connection. He had believed that they were the only ones for each other, but Ai Hoshino’s request for him to stop seeing her shattered this belief and deeply affected Hikaru.
