Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers: Frill's warning sees Mem-Cho reveal her biggest secret to her fans

The alleged Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers were supposed to reveal how Aqua and Akane will deal with Nino. Surprisingly, the actual spoilers took a different route as the manga focused on Mem-Cho. As fans would know, she had lied about her age all this time, hence following a scare, the manga saw her deal with it.

The previous chapter saw Aqua and Ruby complete their revenge against their father as they had chosen to forgive him. Later when Akane tried to "wrap up" Aqua's revenge story, he expressed that the revenge wasn't over as he had set his eyes on former B-Komachi idol Fuyuko Niino.

The alleged Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers opened with Mem-Cho showing her new car to Frill Shiranui. Frill found the car cute but was surprised to learn that Mem-Cho had time amidst her busy schedule to get herself a driving license. Mem told her that she got it a while ago. In reality, she had gotten her license quite a few years ago.

Later as Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers saw Mem-Cho giving Frill Shiranui a ride in the car, Frill informed her about a weekly magazine reporter that was following her. Apparently, the car behind them had been following them the whole time. Mem-cho thought that the reporter was following Frill, but Frill was not being followed until she got picked up by Mem-Cho.

Mem-Cho could not understand why she was being followed. Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers saw Frill inform Mem-Cho that her popularity had recently skyrocketed. Freshly famous talents like Mem-Cho tend to be the least cautious. Hence, paparazzi often focus on them for a big scoop.

Weekly magazines recruit writers and they recruit people from the internet to get the dirt on celebrities for them. Given that they aren't professionals, they end up easily trespassing on private property and spreading unverified information on the internet. The worst part is that they face no consequences as the law does not safeguard the peace of talents.

Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers then switched to Mem-Cho at her home as she wonders about what information could cause a problem. The only thing that could cause her problem was her age which she had lied about. While she was 27 years old, she had claimed to be 20 years old.

Mem-Cho thought back to the people who knew about her secret, wondering which one of them might have leaked the information. Thinking about the same made Mem-Cho paranoid so she went to Ruby Hoshino to speak about her troubles.

Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers then saw Mem-Cho feeling certain that the revelation of her secret shouldn't cause B-Komachi much trouble except for a drop in her personal fanbase. With that, Mem-Cho apologized to Ruby for the same. Ruby found it odd that Mem-Cho apologized to them. This is because they knew about their secret from the get-go and invited her into the idol group.

Following that, Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers saw Ruby praise Mem-Cho for all she had done to cross over into the world of showbiz and avoid any controversy. But because of that Ruby also believed that Mem-Cho could handle such a situation by herself if she put some thought into it.

Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers then saw Mem-Cho conducting a live stream to reveal something very important. Given that fans hadn't received any context, they theorized that the idol was either retiring or getting married.

Mem-Cho began her livestream by apologizing to her fans as she had lied to them about being 20 years old. It was her dream to become an idol, but given the generic age limit of idols, she thought that people wouldn't accept her. Hence, she assumed a high school girl role and lied about her age. With that, Mem-Cho welcomed people who couldn't forgive her to unsubscribe from her channel. Fortunately, Mem-Cho received a lot of support.

Following that, Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers saw Mem-Cho express her appreciation for her agency and members who accepted her despite knowing everything. Nevertheless, Mem-Cho disliked her high school girl personality and wished to change it. Hence, she announced her new project "Age-unknown YouTuber Mem-Cho, 'The Path of being a JD." To build an identity without lies, she wished to challenge the university entrance exams.

Several fans found this funny and hoped to support Mem-Cho in her journey. Just then, the comments started asking Mem-Cho her real age. However, Mem-Cho did not answer the question, stating that it was rude to pry into a woman's age. This statement led to fans generating a range of rumors, one even theorizing that Mem-Cho was 38 years old.

Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers then saw Kana Arima praising Mem-Cho for the way she handled the situation. Even if someone were to expose her real age, it wouldn't lead to any scandal. Instead, fans would think that the media was just trying to stir up things.

Mem-Cho had also attained a new titled “Age-unknown Idol YouTuber” and her stream numbers had begun rising, so there was nothing to criticize about. As for Mem-Cho, she felt happy about how she handled her situation. The world of showbiz is one where the left hand is criticism and the right hand is scandal, and everyone is forced to be a saint in a black-and-white world. Within this, Mem-Cho planned on roaming around in the "gray" area.

Lastly, Oshi no Ko chapter 156 spoilers revealed that the manga would be on a break the following week.
