Oshi no Ko, the popular manga series, is set to release Chapter 163 after a two-week break, with fans eagerly awaiting its return. The anticipation builds as the previous chapter concludes with dramatic events, particularly focusing on Hikaru Kamiki, who met a tragic fate.
In a gripping scene, he drowned after hitting his head on a rock, with Gorou Amamiya’s shadowy hands pulling him deeper into the water. This shocking turn of events leaves readers in suspense, wondering about the fate of the characters involved.
Meanwhile, Aqua Hoshino, another central character, reflects on his past life and believes he was reincarnated as Ai’s son for a purpose: to safeguard his sister, Ruby. This theme of protection and the weight of familial bonds are central to the narrative, adding emotional depth to the unfolding story. Aqua’s belief in his reincarnation adds an intriguing layer to the plot, creating a compelling mix of suspense and drama.
What to Expect
Looking ahead, Chapter 163 promises to reveal crucial developments, particularly concerning Hoshino’s fate. The chapter may explore whether he survived the perilous situation he found himself in.
Speculation suggests that he may not survive, leaving Ruby to fulfill her dreams of performing at the Tokyo Dome, a poignant storyline that resonates with themes of sacrifice and ambition.
However, in a miraculous twist, the creators, Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, could intervene to save Hoshino, potentially leading to a hopeful resolution. Additionally, the chapter may shed light on the enigmatic character of Crow Girl, whose role in the series has piqued the interest of fans.
