Recap of Oshi no Ko Chapter 139

Oshi no Ko Chapter 139, titled Lookism, saw the '15-Year Lie' filming preparing for Aqua's first scenes as Hikaru Kamiki. Given the height difference between 15-year-old Hikaru and 16-year-old Ai, they needed to provide a platform for Ruby to stand.

The manga later revealed how Seijuurou Uehara must have introduced Ai to Hikaru Kamiki. However, as evident from Airi Himekawa's expressions, she wasn't so pleased with Hikaru hanging out with someone younger than her.

Thus, after Hikaru was done training Ai, Airi approached him and touched him non-consensually. Fans should remember that Airi had a baby with Hikaru when he was just 11 years old.


What to expect from Oshi no Ko Chapter 140?

Oshi no Ko Chapter 140 will most likely delve deeper into Hikaru Kamiki's psyche. While he was the film's antagonist, the filmmakers wanted to show all sides of the story. Therefore, the script did its best to describe why Hikaru must have eventually become a serial killer.

With that, the manga might give fans a look at the start of Hikaru and Ai's relationship. While Airi was possessive of Hikaru, he must have wanted to get away from her. Hence, being with Ai could have been his way to escape the abuse he was receiving.
