What to expect from Oshi no Ko Chapter 158?

Oshi no Ko Chapter 158 will most likely focus on Kana Arima. As fans might remember, she had invited Aqua Hoshino to come watch her final performance as part of B-Komachi on Christmas Night. Thus, given that the manga's storyline is past December 8, the performance is inching closer. Therefore, the manga could focus on Kana and her determination to impress Aqua.

Otherwise, the manga could switch to Aqua and Akane as both try to figure out how involved Fuyuko Niino was with Hikaru Kamiki.
