Oshi no Ko chapter 148 Recap

Oshi no Ko chapter 148, titled 'End of Summer,' saw the cast members of the '15-Year Lie' movie enjoy a day on the beach with Minami Kotobuki and Taishi Gotanda. The cast members had seemingly forced Gotanda to drive them to the beach as his car was huge and suited for the occasion.

The manga later saw Kana Arima trying to entice Aqua by asking him to put suntan oil on her. Unfortunately for her, Akane Kurokawa forcibly took over the task.

Later in the evening, Akane informed Aqua that she was going to keep an eye on him to make sure he did not do something foolish like trying to kill his father Hikaru Kamiki. Moments later, Kana Arima confronted Akane and asked her to get back with Aqua as only she was capable of melting his heart.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko chapter 149?

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 could see Kana Arima revealing the reason why she gave up on Aqua Hoshino and betrayed her love for the protagonist of the manga series. Moreover, the chapter could also show why Akane was so fixated on keeping her eye on Aqua so that he wouldn't go after his father, Hikau Kamiki, for revenge.
