Oshi No Ko Releases Its Final Chapter (And Why The Ending is Bittersweet)

As a dedicated fan who’s journeyed through the rollercoaster ride that is Oshi No Ko, I must confess, saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it comes to a series as captivating and heart-wrenching as this one. Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari have left an indelible mark on the anime community with their masterpiece, and their final chapter only served to solidify that fact.


It’s time to bid farewell to the captivating series “Oshi No Ko.” This dark horse production, both in its manga and anime versions, struck a chord with fans due to the compelling narrative of Ai and her offspring. Regrettably, following the footsteps of other popular titles like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen, the creative minds behind “Oshi No Ko,” Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, have concluded their story with the final chapter published in 2024. Fortunately, if you’re eager to discover how Ruby’s tale unfolds, our team at egmr.ru is thrilled to walk you through the summer of “Oshi No Ko’s” climactic finale and discuss why this series concluded on a bittersweet note.

Head’s up! To steer clear of spoilers regarding the last chapter (166) of Oshi No Ko manga, be aware that we’ll delve into some significant plot revelations. In the climactic stages of the story, Ruby’s brother Aqua chose a dramatic course of action to shield his sister from the menacing Hikaru Kamiki forever. The unfortunate consequence was that Aqua had to sacrifice himself by pulling Hikaru down with him in a fatal plunge. As Ruby grapples with her grief, the concluding chapter focuses on her contemplations about the future and the influence she’s left on the world.

Ruby’s Future

As I grapple with the sorrow of losing my brother, the weight of it all feels unbearable. But luckily, the friends my sister Aqua’s gathered throughout our journey are there to listen and offer comfort when I need it most. The final act unfolds without much dialogue, instead relying on a narrator’s voice to guide us through the story. They say, “We choose to live. We strive to find purpose in our lives while occasionally remembering those we’ve lost. It’s tough, but we believe that if we give our best to what we can do, we’ll eventually discover a reason for carrying on.

Ruby ultimately discovers purpose in life by emulating Ai and achieving success as an idol herself. Her latest ordeal, detailed in the finale, resonates deeply with people, leading to a significant increase in her popularity. However, realizing her dreams comes at a heavy price that may prove unbearable for some.

Is Ruby Ok?

In our last chapter, Ruby concludes by informing readers that she’s back at work again. As the sole survivor, she finds herself spinning one tale after another. Despite the mounting difficulties, she feels compelled to maintain a cheerful demeanor and enjoy her performances on stage. She acknowledges that her job has become quite entertaining, and she intends to continue working towards the future shaped by Ai and Aqua. However, there’s a hint of melancholy in this declaration.

As Ruby dons a cheerful expression, she signs off to her readers as the series concludes. Although Ruby achieved her dream of becoming an idol and entertaining crowds, she lost her mother and brother along this journey. The statement she makes about needing to tell “lie after lie” is particularly telling, suggesting that her bright smile in the final scenes might be a facade. Though we’re unsure what lies ahead for Ruby beyond this point, the ending maintains an undercurrent of sadness, as it’s the best possible outcome considering the circumstances surrounding Ai’s daughter.
