On Monday, June 10, 2024, a leak from Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump issue 28/2024 revealed that Oshi no Ko manga is set to begin its final arc with chapter 153. This means that the manga's current story arc, i.e., The End of the Play Arc is set to end with chapter 152.

However, fans must remember that the manga's next chapter will not be released next week, but the week after as the series will be going on a one-week break. Oshi no Ko chapter 153 will be released on Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump issue 30/2024.

Fans worldwide can read the manga chapter on Shueisha's MANGA Plus platform.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko manga's final arc?

As revealed by the spoilers from the final chapter of The End of the Play Arc, the 15 Year Lie movie is soon about to be released. This is evident from the early preview screening of the movie which moved people to tears.

In the meantime, Aqua finally met his father Hikaru Kamiki. He declared that he intended to exact his revenge on him as that was the only way he and his sister Ruby Hoshino could move past the murder of their mother Ai, and have a happy future.

Hence, there is a very high chance that the final arc of the Oshi no Ko manga will focus on the release of the 15 Year Lie movie and the public's reaction to the same.

As the movie never revealed the identity of Hikaru Kamiki and addressed him as Boy A, the final arc could focus on people trying to deduce Boy A's true identity. Such an incident could destroy Hikaru Kamiki's public image, forcing him to take action.
