After watching Ai’s DVD, Hikaru walked away in chapter 155 of Oshi no Ko titled ‘Happy End.’ Ruby attempted to stop him, but Aqua intervened, having achieved her revenge. Upon returning home, the twins’ mother Miyako was relieved that their business was finished. The family then shared a heartfelt embrace, during which Aqua Hoshino finally released his pent-up emotions and shed tears.

Aqua confided in Ichigo Saitou that he still held a deep desire to seek revenge against Hikaru for Ai’s death. However, he ultimately made the decision to follow in Ruby’s footsteps and forgive, as she had inherited Ai’s dream. In the manga, Aqua discussed with Akane and concluded that Fuyuko Niino, a former B-Komachi idol and avid Ai fan, must have played a role in the murders of Ryosuke Sugano, Yura Katayose, and Gorou Amamiya.

It is expected that chapter 156 of Oshi no Ko will center around Hikaru Kamiki, who had previously parted ways with Ruby and Aqua after viewing Ai’s DVD. He had informed Aqua of his determination to do everything in his power for Ai. Therefore, the next chapter may reveal Hikaru’s subsequent moves.

In addition, the manga series may shift its focus to the new B-Komachi as they prepare for their upcoming live tour. As a reminder, this will be the last opportunity for fans to see Kana Arima perform with the idol group, making her a potential subject for the manga’s focus.
