Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 Spoilers: Key Predictions and Insights

The highly anticipated Oshi no Ko chapter 161 is scheduled for release on Thursday, September 26, 2024. Following the release of chapter 160, the manga series took a one-week hiatus, leaving fans eager to see what unfolds in the next installment. Here, we present major predictions for chapter 161.

In the previous chapter, Aqua Hoshino confronted his father, Hikaru Kamiki, about the lies he had spun. Hikaru feigned innocence regarding his intentions towards Ai, but it soon became clear that he had been manipulating Nino and Ryosuke for his own purposes. This confrontation escalated as Aqua confronted Hikaru over his attempt on Ruby’s life.

What to Expect from Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 Spoilers?

As established in the previous chapter, Aqua Hoshino aimed to help Hikaru Kamiki as per his mother Ai’s wishes. However, upon uncovering the truth behind Hikaru’s deceptive statements, Aqua found it impossible to follow through with his mother’s desires.

Hikaru’s false claims about not having ill intentions towards Ai were a ruse, as he had orchestrated Ryosuke and Nino’s obsession with her. Consequently, he manipulated Ryosuke into visiting Ai at her hospital in Miyazaki, indirectly leading to her death four years later.

This manipulation also implied that Hikaru played a role in Fuyuko Niino’s attack on “Ruby Hoshino,”indicating his intent to harm his own daughter. Given Aqua’s deep affection for Ruby, he may find it impossible to let Hikaru continue his machinations. Thus, it is plausible that Aqua might follow through on his original plan to eliminate his biological father in the upcoming chapter.

Crow Girl May Intervene with Aqua Hoshino in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161

In the previous chapter, Aqua’s desire to kill Hikaru Kamiki was clear. However, considering the story’s trajectory, the likelihood of Aqua committing murder appears to be low. This suggests that a character could intervene to prevent him from taking such extreme measures.

In the manga, the three members of the B-Komachi idol group were still performing on stage, while Akane Kurokawa and Ichigo Saitou remained at the Hoshino residence. The whereabouts of only a couple of key characters—Miyako Saitou and the Crow Girl—were uncertain.

Assuming Miyako is at the B-Komachi concert, the Crow Girl could potentially step in regarding Aqua and Hikaru’s conflict. Therefore, fans can expect the Crow Girl to make an appearance in the next chapter and possibly thwart Aqua Hoshino’s plans. This chapter might also finally unveil the true nature of this mysterious character, who previously claimed to have divine origins, yet the manga has yet to provide a clear explanation.
