Absolutely no relation to NLK
So, I was rereading a few chapters and a couple thoughts struck me. First, so many arcs are way better on a reread, most notably Ice Kaguya but by no means the only one. Second, Osaragi is such an interesting character. She's not a very good person, but her grudges and issues are very interestingly nuanced and foreshadowed. I find that sort of personal issues — resenting her longtime friend, with whom she's friends mainly due to being outcasts together, for not being there for the guy she liked even though Osaragi herself wasn't either — to be non-glamorous and human in a way that you really don't see much in romcoms. Bits of conflict like that, Tsubame's complicated feelings towards Ishigami and Prez and Kaguya's mutual inferiority complexes are one of the most unique things about this series, beneath all the comedy and wackiness and mindgames.

Yeah beneath the wacky romcom hijinks Kaguya has always been very good at injecting doses of realism that make the characters way more relatable. I also really like Osaragi for the reasons you mentioned.

I still think she's a terrible person, but its an understandable (if irrational) situation to be in.

And thus, the biggest longest subplot in the manga comes to a close.
Ishimiko? Naw I meant the fujiramen arc

I don't know why "side character has an inner monologue assuming main character, who is totally oblivious, is doing some insane high-level mindgames" jokes always land, but they do. The last page is the best possible punchline to the whole subplot.

The best gag is Chika removing her noise cancelling earphones, thus demonstrating that she wasn't even remotely listening to what J was saying.
The second best gag is the fact that somebody off panel was actually live streaming the whole thing on Twitch, but we never see that person.

Today's chapter stars Kei "My Mom is a sociopath" Shirogane.

On one hand she's robotic to the point of absurdity, on the other it's not like people like that don't exist, especially the bit with the self-pitying social media posts. Kei ended up as a bit of a Flat Character, though.

I wouldn't call her flat. Its just that she exists mostly on relation to her brother sooo.
...come to think of it, shouldn't she be starting the high branch soon. A sequel series could have her in it lol.

Sure, I’d like “Kei Wants to be Confessed to.” …or maybe “Kei Wants to Survive Being With Moeha.”
The mom’s, uhh, rationality is a little bit exaggerated but that’s fine. This is a manga, after all.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

Welp...latest Oshi no Ko special chapter confirms its a Shared Universe with this one and it takes place several years later after the ending.
Kaguya fulfilled her dream of being a photographer and has the Shirogane surname.

Chapter 273. Another final chapter. Part 1, at least. And it's about Nagisa learning that Maki likes her boyfriend.
I honestly don't know if Nagisa and Tsubasa really did break up. I'm inclined to think the end-of-chapter narration is a fakeout, but then it's very plausible that Nagisa would break up with Tsubasa to free him up for Maki.
Then again, I think it would be more interesting if Nagisa realizes she actually is in love with Tsubasa, and Maki finally, finally decides to move on.

Baby dango
Uh, Kaguya says seven years ago is while before Maki and Nagisa first met, but Maki says they were friends since kindergarten, so what gives?

Kashiwagi is pregnant.

Ah damn I clicked the spoiler. The Tanuma tradition continues.
It's a good thing decided not to make a play for Tsubasa. Can you imagine Maki finding out Kashiwagi was pregnant after hooking up with Tsubasa?

Honestly I thought with Maki's luck she'd end up with Tsubasa and be the one getting hit with the teen pregnancy card. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
