In the world of anime and manga, love triangles are a common trope. Oshi No Ko, a manga series by writer Aka Akasaka and illustrator Mengo Yokoyari, features that popular trope in a twisted way. One of the most talked-about and controversial aspects of the series is the complex love life of protagonist Aqua.
Based on the manga, as the anime progresses, viewers will witness the introduction of two potential love interests for Aqua - Akane and Kana. Both female characters are intricately characterized and have received a positive response from manga readers.
Although Aqua is shown to have a certain soft spot for both female characters, fans are left to wonder whom he will ultimately end up with. Since the manga is still ongoing, the answer to this question remains uncertain. However, in the past, Aqua was in a relationship with Akane, which eventually came to an end, which opens up the possibility of him ending up with Kana Arima in the future.
Aqua may have a chance to end up with Kana in Oshi no Ko
Oshi No Ko follows the story of twin siblings Aqua and Ruby and their journey in the corrupted entertainment industry after the death of their mother and idol Ai Hoshino. Aqua is one of the main protagonists of the series, who is a complex character with a strange love life. Throughout the series, Aqua Hoshino finds himself in a love triangle with Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa.
Oshi no Ko depicts a complex relationship between Aqua and Kana, which evolves throughout the manga. They first met as children on the set of Taishi's movie, where Kana's belief in being the best child actress was quickly humbled by Aqua's superior acting skills. Later, fate brought them together in high school. As they reunited and became friends, the duo grew even closer, leading Aqua to convince Kana to join his sister in starting an idol group.
Throughout the manga, Kana showed to have been caring for Aqua, and the latter reciprocated the sentiments. They both supported each other in all aspects of their lives. With time, she even grew to have romantic feelings towards Aqua, which started after they acted together in a popular manga's live adaptation. However, their relationship becomes strained when Aqua starts dating Akane.
Kana was heartbroken when she saw Aqua kiss Akane on a live show, and actively ignored him afterward. Later on, Kana felt attraction towards Pieyon, just because he reminded her of Aqua. However, things did work out as the turn of events brought her face-to-face with Aqua.
After Aqua's avoidance towards Kana after his breakup with Akane, it was evident that he has and always had a special place for Kana in his heart, which Akane and Ruby both acknowledged in the manga. The relationship between Aqua and Kana in Oshi no Ko is a complex one that grew from friendship to something more special but unnamed.
As is evident, the two care for each other immensely to the extent that it has been hard for them determine who cared for the other more. Even though Kana is now an idol and it's unsafe for her to have a partner, the connection between them is clear. Thus, there is high possibility that Aqua might end up with Kana Arima in Oshi no Ko.
Aqua's relationship with Akane
Akane Kurokawa is a major character from the Oshi no Ko manga who will be soon introduced in the anime. Akane and Aqua met on a reality show called LoveNow, where the former faced severe bullying and harassment on social media after unintentionally injuring another beloved actor Yuki.
Aqua observed how the event was orchestrated by the makers of the show. Outraged by the public's treatment of Akane, he stayed up for numerous nights to publish a video that redeemed her reputation. After Akane tried to commit suicide, Aqua saved her from jumping off a bridge during a stormy night, reassuring and silently embracing her to calm her down later on.
Although their relationship started as a work arrangement, in chapter 31 of Oshi no Ko, Akane asked Aqua if their relationship was authentic or just for business. Aqua admitted that he didn't see her as a woman currently but had a keen interest in her as an actress. They decided to remain a couple, and as Akane gained confidence in her acting abilities, she slowly turned herself much like Ai Hoshino.
During their practice for Tokyo Blade, they became intrinsically linked in many scenes, and Akane was even seen supporting Aqua after he collapsed due to remembering his traumatic events. Although Aqua turned down Kana's invitation to go out since he decided to date Akane, the relationship did not really work. Following this, they ended things while Akane admitted that Aqua has always had something for Kana.
Conclusion
In Oshi no Ko chapter 122, Ruby and Aqua accepted their past lives in front of each other. Ruby also remembered the promise made by the Doctor in her last life that he would marry her after she turned 16. They have gotten much closer after that and some fans hoped them to be the end game.
However, Aqua has no romantic feelings for her in this life, being born as siblings. He had also decided to end his pretend relationship with Akane as he felt he was using her for his goals. Thus, Kana remains the strongest candidate as Aqua's potential love interest.
