Oshi no Ko chapter 155, titled 'Happy End,' saw Hikaru walk away after watching Ai's DVD. Ruby tried stopping him but Aqua stopped her as her revenge was complete. Later, when the twins returned home, Miyako was glad they were done with their business. This was followed by a family hug that saw Aqua Hoshino let go of his suppressed emotions and cry.

Aqua later revealed to Ichigo Saitou that he still wished to avenge Ai by murdering Hikaru but he had decided to follow Ruby's path of forgiveness as she had inherited Ai's dream. The manga later saw Aqua speak with Akane and deduce that former B-Komachi idol and Ai superfan Fuyuko Niino must have been an accomplice to the murders of Ryosuke Sugano, Yura Katayose, and Gorou Amamiya.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko chapter 156?

Oshi no Ko chapter 156 will likely focus on Hikaru Kamiki, who left Ruby and Aqua after watching Ai's DVD. He told Aqua that he was going to do all that he could for Ai. Hence, the upcoming chapter could unveil Hikaru's next actions.

Otherwise, the manga series could also switch its focus to the new B-Komachi as they start rehearsals for their upcoming live tour. As fans must remember, this would be the final time Kana Arima performs with the idol group, thus the manga could focus on her.
