【Oshi no Ko】 - Ch. 137 - IDOL

Kana is only 17 old, but she already has experience raising a teenage daughter who is going through adolescence with difficulty. But jokes aside, it looks like Aka himself was tired of this arc and decided to let Ruby recover without further drama.

 

[Mangamoz]

Ruby shows them that they over glorified Ai and pushed her into despair.

Staff:"Lol, actually she was even more in despair than that, what a noob."

 

[Runesave]

After reading this chapter I immediately sighed in relief, thank god
I usually like dark stuff but I want this series to be happier so bad

 

[Miriable]

Apparently this film crew doesn't understand the concept of "shoot everything, cut what doesn't work." 80% of movie-making happens in the editing bay.

 

[skymadrid]

I miss this. Yeah the emotion and the scream is def scary, but its nice to see Ruby and Kana back together and had a bit of laughter in it. And its a major character development for Ruby as she knows she's not Ai, and that's ok.

She wants to improve on herself, as herself. Which would def help with the filming as Ai has to improve and be stronger afterwards anyways.

To be fair... this is the Japanese filming industry where everything has to go by the script. At least, that's my opinion based on what I hear.

Oh, so literally nothing happened from the fake betrayal? Kind of a cop out ngl

 

[VeryGood]

wow Ruby didn't go off to the deep end for 10ch, I'm pleasantly suprised

Maybe they're big fans of Ed Wood, who shot everything in one take due to budget constraints.

sure, if you don't count the acting boost, the self-search boost, the mama-understanding boost, etc...

No, I’m not talking about the positives, she magically kept those. I’m talking with the negatives that should’ve happened. When you betray someone like that there are repercussions you can’t just get over in a day or two if you actually believe it.

So how the fuck does she get an acting boost if she doesn’t believe she’s betrayed? Does she feel any of the pain of Ai if it was just a pretend pat on the back of motivation that had no impact on the relationship at all.

They had their cake and ate it too

 

[mihaha269]

Good for Ruby!

 

[catsdontsmile]

Best chapter we've had in a while!

 

[GastrointestinalLot]

Kana didn't catch an L this chapter

It’s not that she wasn’t betrayed. It’s that she’s not giving up on her friend like her mom did. she understood her mom’s emotions and realized that she doesn’t wanna live like that

Not liking ad-lib is understandable, ignoring the fact that you edit out what you think doesn't work in the final cut is another thing entirely.
Pompo: The Cinéphile show a correct understanding of film editing (in the movie, if I remember correctly that part is an anime original) so it's not like japanese filmmakers don't know what editing means.

 

[Erricane]

Oh thank God... All's well that ends well..

 

[UnvalidUserName]

I like that ending. Going from "I'm gonna be an idol just like momma" to "I'm not gonna be like momma"
They grow up so fast
(If you disregard the fact that she is technically 27)
