Did Ai have any acting gigs? Like, an actual feature story role and not just TV commercials? I honestly can't remember.

Her and Aqua were in a movie together due to Taishi. Think it was mentioned she got more job offers after that as well.

Well, it can, but I just don't like when stories dump a Freudian Excuse flashback just before a character gets a Heel Realization, Heel–Face Turn or any other positive turning point. It makes their subsequent character development feel half-hearted at best. All things considered, Akane's case is not that bad, but I've seen it enough in other works that it's just tiring.

Don’t have an issue with it since put more context into why she behaves how she does, without active changing anything.

Nobody feels like updating Oshi no Ko's character page (including me) and Melt and the mangakas have had their own mini-arcs by now.

I think Akane's down for the OT3.

Good luck convincing the other two.

Ah well, I suppose that seals her fate as the loser of this Love Triangle (assuming Aqua gets over his Celibate Hero status)

New chapter, starting to think Aqua’s current support system might not be healthy for him.

Look, kid. If you want to be a great actor, you need to learn to love acting and use it to build yourself up. Otherwise, the only path is to masochistically torture yourself with every role and... Kid? Aqua? What are you doing with that crown of thorns?

Aqua continues to show off his emotional acting, and I continue to worry about his mental health. Also, that bit with Ai was got a chuckle out me.

Not going to lie, I teared up a bit at the end there, too.

Yeah that was some damn good payoff. Arc meandered a bit in the middle, but what a climax.

Word. Did not expect Himekawa to turn out to be Aqua and Ruby’s half-brother. He probably doesn’t know anything about their dad, though. Whoever he was, he really got around.

Yeah. Didn't the director said he found Himekawa in a children's home? That should mean he probably knows very little, if any, about his biological family.

Even if he did, I don't expect him to be super cooperative. It's a bit of a weird thing to spring on a guy.

Chapter out. Odd that Aqua didn't notice the discrepancy in the dates — by the time Ai was murdered, Himekawa's supposed dad was long dead. I don't think Himekawa is in on it, but it looks like Aqua wanted an out of his revenge quest more than he would admit.

I am also confused by that. I guess Aqua latching on to a possible out is a nice way to explain it, but it is a glaring oversight.

Wonder if this means we’re going to get relatively lighthearted chapters for now though. Probably put some focus on Ruby?

Yeah, I think for sure their real father is still out there somewhere. But for now Aka might just want to focus on the more lighthearted stuff a little while, until Aqua realizes.

Would expect more of a Tear Jerker, especially if they have an actual discussion about everything that happened.
