In the previous chapter, Ruby convinced Aqua to impersonate Gorou Amamiya and call her Sarina-chan, resulting in some cute moments.
However, things took a strange turn when Ruby helped Aqua appreciate life more, leading to her confessing her love for him. This unexpected development led to the siblings sharing two kisses in the manga.
In Oshi no Ko Chapter 143, Blind Follower, Ruby convinces Aqua to pretend to be Gorou and call her Sarina-chan.
This makes Ruby very happy. Seeing her happiness, Aqua opens up about his struggles. He confesses that he’s not the same person he used to be. It’s hard for him to smile, and he feels guilty about simply being alive.
In response, Ruby revealed her secret to staying happy, which was idolizing someone. For Ruby, Aqua was her idol, and simply knowing that he existed brought her joy.
However, Ruby then confessed that she wasn’t just Aqua’s blind follower she was also in love with him.
As a result, Ruby kissed Aqua both before and during their kissing scene, portraying the roles of Ai and Hikaru.
Expectation
Chapter 144 of Oshi no Ko will probably focus on the filming of the ’15-Year Lie’ movie, reaching its exciting climax.
This suggests that the plot will progress towards Ai’s break from her career, her pregnancy, and her journey into motherhood.
This storyline might also mark the return of Melt Narushima to the series. He’s to portray Gorou Amamiya in the movie.
Additionally, there’s a chance Tsukuyomi might come back to the series to reprise her roles as Aqua and Ruby.
