Oshi no Ko anime is progressing quite well, and the fifth episode gave a brief look into the new dating reality show Aqua signed up for. Kana Arima has also managed to captivate the fanbase with her comedic timing and her good looks. Episodes 3, 4, and 5 of the Oshi no Ko anime put her in the spotlight, and she has been well-received by the fanbase. As evident from the latest events, it is quite clear that she is head over heels for Aqua Hoshino.
Sadly, his attitude towards Kana Arima is the same as he is with everyone else - distant and cold. That being said, she doesn’t really know how Aqua feels about her. She hopes that one day Aqua will fall in love with her. Moreover, her infatuation with Aqua began when the two acted in a small-time shojo manga adaptation where the latter played as the stalker.
He not only impressed Kana with his acting abilities but also set up the scene perfectly for Kana to shine. This played a role in increasing Kana’s popularity and the audience’s perception of the show. However, Kana Arima now has a rival that was briefly introduced in episode 5 of Oshi no Ko anime.
