【Oshi no Ko】 - Vol. 16 Ch. 166.5 - Volume 16 Extras

[Toxin45]

Some people have suggested that this was written after the attempts to revive Aqua, but then it makes even less sense because it basically turns LN into another bait and switch and completely devalues buying/reading it because then the extra tells you the consequences of things already “a couple of minutes” after LN just started teasing it. So it's likely that Akane actually became even more obsessed. Unless you like the idea of Aka reaching a new peak of poor planning and writing even after the finale.


After the live action and Taiki's words, it was as if Aka himself signed that the ending was crap and Aka just wasted our time trying to justify it. But yes, Aqua's act actually romanticizes suicide as a radical solution to supposedly "unresolved" situations. Moreover, the way it was written seems to motivate suicidal people to break off all social contacts and rush through it without thinking about anything, because “don’t worry, your relatives will deal with it in time.”

Then the novel on Akane and kana are there too

Ah, well, yes. You responded to a comment where I discussed the content of LN, lmao.

After seeing the ending I'm glad I decided to skip this manga until it was completed to check if its worth investing my time or not.

Since tragic endings (and tragic stories) aren't my cup of tea, I will skip.

This ending felt rushed. I didn't like it. Finished reading it in French today.

If Aqua somehow survive falling off a cliff into the sea with a near fatal stab wound, he should not be able to work in entertainment industry. He's still studying and even has a side plan to become a doctor. Why not make him a doctor after his career in entertainment industry? so Ruby's show could make a (not) cameo of him in a hospital setting. Super low chance it's going to happen, huh?​

Lol, that Abema screenshot.

People were obsessed with the idea that Aqua's death made this ship the only one possible (to such an extent that any illustrations with two, even just next to each other, were marked with the name of the ship)

SS Kanakane yuri

Last LN is still focused on their feelings for Aqua. Especially Akane, who actually goes even further than we could expect.

It's a joke, since the word ship is mentioned.

 

[gundulgondrong]

that ending made the entire manga a shit-tier tragedy porn. peak nihilsm. poor aqua even your authors dont love you.

 

[gundulgondrong]

aqua is both the most impactful and most unexplored main character in this manga. he and the story had that potential to keep peaking. but no, i dont know what happened, but they decided to end it. i dare to say that this manga can be put in AXED/CANCELLED category

"The manga has ended, but continue supporting this work" - Nah, i'm done. i will keep me miles away to the 3th season
