In Oshi No Ko Chapter 153, titled Fiction, Aqua confronts her father, Hikaru, with the evidence he has collected, expressing her desire for revenge.
Hikaru reacts calmly, praising Aqua's efforts and the film's accuracy but dismissing it as a work of fiction filled with exaggerations and omissions of facts.
He explained that the film's depiction of his relationship with Ai was far from reality, revealing that Ai never loved him and that their relationship was one-sided.
Hikaru admits that Ai's rejection drove him to kill her regardless, and that their affair was neither noteworthy nor romantic.
He accepts the social consequences of his actions, seeing them as a fulfillment of Aqua's quest for revenge and possibly in line with Ai's wishes.
As Hikaru prepares to leave, Aqua wonders if he truly understands Ai's wishes and asserts that the film is not fiction, alluding to deeper truths.
The chapter ends with Hikaru recalling the painful memories of Airi Himekawa and Seijuro Uehara's funerals and how their deaths and Kindaichi's words haunted him.
Believing that he must give himself up to be loved, Ai's acceptance gives him strength. However, his worldview is shattered when Ai tells him that they should stop seeing each other, leaving him devastated.
Expected
In Oshi No Ko Chapter 154, the story will continue with more of Hikaru's flashbacks, shedding light on his past.
As the flashback ends, Aqua confronts Hikaru, arguing that the film portrays essential truths that Hikaru has always avoided.
Aqua will reveal a crucial lie that Ai told Hikaru, challenging his understanding of their relationship.
This hidden truth about Ai's true feelings and intentions will force Hikaru to reassess his actions and their impact on Aqua and others.
This chapter will explore how this truth affects Hikaru, pushing him to face the reality of his past actions and the profound consequences they have had on those around him.
