Recap of Oshi no Ko Chapter 141

Oshi no Ko Chapter 141, titled Chain, saw the film reenact Ai confronting Airi for her relationship with Hikaru. Ai believed that Airi, being an adult, should have corrected Hikaru even if he was at fault. That's when Airi revealed that she herself was subjected to such exploitation. However, her perpetrators were never caught. Meanwhile, she genuinely loved Hikaru and claimed that his situation was way better than whatever she went through in the past.

The manga then saw the cast of '15-Year Lie' discuss the dark side of the entertainment industry. According to Miyako Saitou, influential people calling young female actresses to nightclubs was a norm in the latter stages of the Showa period. Hence, the cast members mulled over what was right and wrong.

Elsewhere, Frill Shiranui hinted at the inevitable scene of Ruby and Aqua kissing each other as Ai and Hikaru.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 242 will most likely see Ruby and Aqua preparing for their controversial scene as Ai Hoshino and Hikaru Kamiki. While they have retained their consciousnesses as Sarina Tendouji and Gorou Amamiya, the fact remains that in this incarnation, both of them are siblings. Hence, the two kissing each other while playing the roles of their parents is bound to affect them.

That said, when Frill hinted at the scene, Ruby looked very excited.
