Oshi no Ko Chapter 158: Release date & spoiler speculation

As Oshi no Ko Chapter 158 approaches, the manga is currently in the midst of its final arc and the ultimate antagonist has been unveiled. What lies ahead in the story?

As Oshi no Ko progresses towards its conclusion, the manga recently entered its final arc, titled “Toward the Stars and Dreams,”in Chapter 153. This arc concludes the storyline involving Aqua and Ruby’s father.

Despite this, the Hoshino siblings are not guaranteed a happy ending. In Chapter 155, it is revealed that a new antagonist is lurking in the shadows, responsible for Ai’s death. This individual is none other than Nino, a former teammate of Ai’s from B-Komachi.

Despite this, the manga has adopted a lighter tone and shifted its focus towards the everyday struggles and development of other characters. In Chapter 156, we saw Memcho’s challenges, while Chapter 157 delved into the problems faced by the Hoshino siblings.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 158 Spoiler and Speculation

Aqua and Ruby Hoshino in Oshi no Ko — Shueisha

It is challenging to anticipate the events that will unfold in Oshi no Ko Chapter 158, considering the developments in the previous chapters. The next installment might shift its focus to other characters such as Kana and Akane. However, there is also a possibility that it will delve straight into the heart of this arc: Aqua’s quest for revenge.

In Chapter 157, there is a slight clue given to us. Aqua spends some relaxed moments with his sister, and the chapter concludes with Ruby falling asleep with her head on his lap. Eventually, Aqua also dozes off, offering us a peek into the book he has been reading.

The book, ‘Tokyo University of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences’, hints at Aqua’s desire to move away from his fame and instead pursue a career in medicine, reminiscent of his past life.

In Chapter 158 of Oshi no Ko, there is potential for us to learn more about his decision. With Aqua having found and met Hikaru, there is no longer a reason for him to continue in showbiz. It would be logical for him to revert back to being a doctor.

In order to find out the truth, we must wait for the chapter to be released. In the meantime, you can use our guides to catch up on other manga such as One Piece Chapter 1123, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 266, and Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13.
