Despite the Hoshino twins being the central characters in Oshi no Ko, some fans believe that another character is more deserving of the title of the protagonist.
As the story unfolds in Oshi no Ko, Aqua is determined to seek revenge against the person who betrayed his mother, while his sister Ruby struggles to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. However, with the introduction of more characters, both siblings pale in comparison to the dynamic newcomers.
One of the most captivating characters is Akane Kurosawa. Her troubled past and intricate personality make her a fascinating character to follow. From flawlessly mimicking Ai to forming a strong alliance with Aqua in his pursuit, she has made a significant impact in the story.
This remains true following the release of Oshi no Ko Chapter 159, where a shocking revelation about Ruby’s stabbing in Chapter 158 takes place. The chapter exposes Akane’s secret plan to pose as Ruby and frame Nino, putting herself in harm’s way. This unexpected turn of events is driven by her desire to assist Aqua.
After this event, many fans are criticizing the Hoshino twins and claiming that Akane is better suited for the main character’s role. As one person wrote on Twitter, “Akane is the true protagonist of Oshi no Ko.”
Another commenter pointed out that even Ruby and Akane seemed to have done more for the revenge plan than he did, while Aqua was simply enjoying chips with his “sun”.
“Throughout the entire revenge plot, she took on the burden and responsibility,”a third person chimed in, also criticizing Aqua. “He has been all talk and no action in seeking revenge. Despite his repeated attempts to help her, he is still too reliant on Kana’s unwavering love.”
“According to another tweet, it’s impossible for Akane not to win as she carries the manga so effortlessly.”
One other fan commented, “Ruby is clearly not on the same level as Akane, who is also greatly admired by Kana. Kana remains a constant and significant presence throughout the entire manga.”
Despite the lack of release for Chapter 159, the full extent of Akane’s involvement in this plan remains unknown. However, it is evident that her presence in the story holds significant value.
