The alleged Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers were supposed to reveal the aftermath of Aqua and Hikaru's conversation in the last chapter. Needless to say, the alleged spoilers didn't disappoint as the manga further explained Hikaru's relationship with Ai. Additionally, it revealed why Hikaru murdered her.

The previous chapter saw the 15-Year Lie movie receive its early screening. With that, the movie's cast was finally able to witness their work on the big screens. As for Aqua, the movie's screening allowed him to finally meet his father, Hikaru Kamiki, and confront him for his mother, Ai's murder.

According to the alleged Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled 'Fiction.' The manga chapter opened with Aqua Hoshino confronting Hiikaru Kamiki, the biological father of Taiki Himekawa, Ruby Hoshino, and himself, for the murder of Ai Hoshino.

Hikaru Kamiki was impressed by Aqua Hoshino's investigative skills as he had done thorough research on his backstory and delivered a movie that was enjoyable from the viewer's perspective. He loved how the actors were able to perform with a sinister charm. Regardless, he labeled the movie as a piece of fiction.

This is because several scenes in the movie had been fabricated and exaggerated to neatly hide inconvenient things, making it a piece of entertainment one could find anywhere.

Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers saw Hikaru further explain the fabrication in the movie. In it, Hikaru's kissing scene with Ai is depicted in a normal age-appropriate manner as if there was mutual love between them. However, the reality wasn't like that.

In reality, only Hikaru was dependent on Ai. The real Ai seemingly hadn't gotten lost in that kind of love, and the real Hikaru was even more starved for affection than what was depicted in the movie. As per Hikaru, Ai knew how to take care of herself. The only reason they were together for some time was because she found it difficult to refuse him.

According to Hikaru, Ai Hoshino never loved him. It was he who was pathetically clinging to a woman who had rejected him. Such feelings eventually saw Hikaru bear a grudge against Ai, forcing him to have her killed. The real story was much more realistic and had less drama.

Anyway, with the movie's imminent release, Hikaru Kamiki was certain that he would get socially annihilated, meaning that Aqua was bound to achieve his true goal. Following that, Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers saw Hikaru Kamiki reveal that he was realistically out of options and that if the revenge on him was Ai's wish, he would willingly accept it as he loved her from the bottom of his heart.

Right after, Hikaru expressed to Aqua that he was glad to have gotten the opportunity to talk to his son. While it would seem odd, given their near-non-existent relationship, he expressed that he truly felt that way.

That's when Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers saw Aqua stopping Hikaru Kamiki from making any more assumptions. He asked Hikaru if he really did not understand what the "15-year lie" involving Ai was all about.

With that, Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers switched to Hikaru Kamiki's flashback, depicting everything that happened after the deaths of Seijuro Uehara and Airi Himekawa. During their funeral, Mr. Kindaichi told Hikaru that he was supposed to bear their burden from now on. This scared Hikaru as he was the person who indirectly caused their deaths.

Right after, Oshi no Ko chapter 153 spoilers showed what difference Hikaru felt between his relationship with Airi and Ai. Airi Himekawa used to burn him with her gaze filled with desire, constantly opting for courtship that only valued his appearance. Hence, the words "I love you" had become meaningless to him.

However, Hikaru felt that his relationship with Ai was different as both of them were the same and accepted each other. He believed that both had no one else other than each other. But this was a huge misinterpretation on Hikaru's part as Ai Hoshino asked Hikaru not to meet her anymore. Those words truly broke Hikaru.
