This article contains spoilers for the manga “Oshi no
Ko.” Reader discretion is advised.
As we previously reported, the popular manga “ Oshi no Ko ” is in its
final stretch and only has a few chapters left to be published. However, the
most recent development has left fans speechless, especially since Aka
Akasaka’s narrative has surprised by deciding to kill the protagonist Aqua
Hoshino as part of her plan to finish off her evil father.

The most recent
chapter had left things uncertain, especially since it was not made clear
whether Aqua Hoshino had died due to the wound she had caused herself to
simulate a confrontation with her father, Hikaru Kamiki, which would end with
both of them falling from a height into the sea. However, the most
recent leaks would have made it clear that the protagonist has, in fact, died,
especially given the wording presented.
Of course, given Aka
Akasaka's background, it's possible that everything ends well through a deus
ex machina or some last-minute device the author throws in. Whether
or not this happens, there's no doubt that the work has managed to keep fans on
the edge of their seats with these last few chapters. Will it be possible for
Akasaka-sensei to break the paradigm and really end the life of his
protagonist?
Anyway, the leaks
revealed the following:
- The crow girl seemed to have borrowed
Aqua's consciousness to show her the dream from the previous chapter. Aqua
is still drowning, feeling cold, suffocated, uncomfortable, and in pain.
- Aqua: “It burns”, “It's cold”,
“Pain”.
- She then thinks of B-Komachi singing
beautifully, imagining that she can hear the concert, which calms her
struggles. With a smile on her face, Aqua passes away peacefully
(this is a double-page spread). In other words, Aqua died.
- Some time later, a fishing boat, 20
kilometres from the crime scene, found a floating body, well preserved due
to the cold weather (minimal damage and very low temperatures). Aqua's
plan was flawless. Police and the public were completely baffled by its
incredible brilliance, making it a major news story.
- Kana, seeing the news, stood in shock
for an entire panel (her eyes completely black). Akane, holding flowers,
walked towards the seashore. She was the only one who saw through
Aqua's brilliant strategy, being amazed by the depth of her wisdom and the
firmness of her decision.
- Akane: “You protected Ruby’s future?
I really didn’t expect this. I thought you would definitely come back. I
even assessed you before you left, and you clearly had hope for the future
and didn’t want to die at all. Did you really not want my help
that badly? It wouldn’t have been that hard to set up the perfect crime
scene for you, you know? I wouldn’t have minded doing it for you at all. ”
