Oshi no Ko chapter 118, titled Activation, saw Crow Girl approach Aqua and tell him how his beliefs were incorrect as Ai Hoshino did not get reincarnated like him and Ruby. Following that, she asked Aqua to rethink why he must have gotten reincarnated in the first place.

Elsewhere, Ruby was practicing her lines relentlessly. However, Kana Arima could see how tired Ruby was and asked her to get some rest. Elsewhere, Tendouji from the advertising agency approached producer Kaburagi.


What to expect from Oshi no Ko chapter 119?

Oshi no Ko chapter 119 will most likely see Tendouji from the advertising agency express the company's needs to producer Kaburagi. While the same hasn't been revealed, there is the possibility that the issue will be about the main lead for the film, Ruby Hoshino.

While Ruby Hoshino is very popular, she has not reached the level of Frill Shiranui or Akane Kurokawa. Hence, the advertising agency could either want to get the main lead switched or learn some ways in which they can make Ruby a crowd-seller star.
