The Chapter Review
Many manga ended in 2024. Oshi No Ko is another series fans can add to that list. Many will be disappointed or mixed by this final chapter’s events. With its questionable instances and missed opportunities, some may argue these closing chapters lacked passion and heart.
Nonetheless, seeing Ruby smile and perform on her dream stage was satisfying. We’re certain Doga Kobo Studios will do their best to capture this wonderful moment in the anime. Akane’s narration segments were a bit much though.
Some would’ve preferred having Kana, MEM-cho, or someone else say something at the end. Granted, the previous chapter gave readers an upsetting scenario with Kana at Aqua’s funeral, but more would’ve been great.
But all in all, this was a fine conclusion. It’s not marvelous, but at least one of the Hoshino’s got to live on despite their tragic position.
