Expected plot in Oshi No Ko, Chapter 159

Oshi No Ko Chapter 159 is expected to pick up from the aftermath of Ruby Hoshino's stabbing. The primary focus will likely be on whether Ruby survives this attack, contrasting her situation with that of her mother, Ai Hoshino.

Unlike Ai, who faced danger alone, Ruby has the support of Aqua and Miyako, which may increase her chances of survival. How they respond to the crisis will be critical to this, including taking Ruby to the hospital and possibly apprehending Niino for her actions.

Given that the event happens on the day of B-Komachi’s last performance, Ruby likely will not be able to perform in Oshi No Ko Chapter 159. However, since Aqua already suspected Niino’s involvement in the murders, it is highly likely that there were preparations made beforehand.

Oshi No Ko Chapter 158 recap

Titled Jewel, Oshi No Ko Chapter 158 begins as B-Komachi performs on stage before their enthusiastic fans, including Fuyuko Niino. The former idol observes Ruby's growth as an idol, and considers her to have surpassed Ai Hoshino.

After the performance, Mem-Cho meets her friend Anemone backstage, while Ruby is surprised to see Akane in Miyazaki, as the group's tour will later take them to Tokyo. Akane explains that she may be too busy to attend the Tokyo performance, which falls on Christmas.

When Ruby jokes about Akane having a new boyfriend, Akane quickly denies it in Oshi No Ko Chapter 158. Ruby then suggests Akane see Kana, but Akane hesitates, admitting that she and Kana do not see eye to eye when it comes to Kana's idol career.

Akane enjoys Kana's performances but can only process them by imagining Kana as an actress playing the role of an idol. Akane acknowledges that this tour marks Kana's final moments as an idol. Ruby and Akane then discuss the challenges of being an idol.

Ruby recognizes that while she excels in this field, the career is often short-lived, and the only way to maintain relevance is by becoming a lasting memory for fans. Oshi No Ko Chapter 158 then shifts to outside the concert area, where Fuyuko Niino is on the phone with Hikaru Kamiki.

He asks her to surrender to the police with him. Niino refuses, believing that their actions, especially the murder of Ryosuke, have irrevocably changed things. Niino ends up blaming Ruby for her troubles. Oshi No Ko Chapter 158 ends as she stabs her on Christmas morning.

Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Ruby’s fate in the Oshi No Ko manga.
