Summary
Warning: The following contains spoilers for chapter 135 of Oshi no Ko, “By Her Side” by Aka Akasaka, translated by Felicia Sumali, and lettered by YKS Services LLC, now available in English fromMangaPlus.
Oshi no Kofans were eagerly awaiting the release of chapter 135, which came out after a two-week wait. Theaudience was expecting the mangato delve into Ruby’s current situation, especially after the confrontation between her and Kana. The chapter started on an interesting note, with fans seeing Aqua talking to the director about Ai.
He was asking Taishi about his mother and whether she was sad when her teammates left her. The director assumed that he was talking about the new scene where Nino speaks to Ai in a crude manner.
Will Taishi Succeed in Capturing the “Real” Ai?
After hearing Aqua’s question, Taishi countered it with his own. The director asked him what he thought about Ai and her emotions. Aqua was confident in his reply when he stated that Ai never cried. She dodged questions and remained carefree about life. Aqua also asked the director for his opinion on Ai’s character. But once again, he did not answer the question. He did, however, reveal an interaction that he had in the past with Ai, in which she asked him to capture her true self.
According to Taishi, he failed to fulfill his promise to Ai, which is why he was adamant about fixing it with the movie. Taishi believed that 15 Years Lie would succeed if Ruby managed to give it her best shot. Aqua warned him not to push his sister too much, but the director was confident that Kana would protect Ruby from everything. Taishi then began to talk about how Kana used to be a selfish girl who did not have any friends with whom she could share her feelings. The director asked Aqua whether he knew why he was put next to Kana, to which he replied that he wanted to keep her level-headed. Taishi told him that it was only one of the reasons, the other being that he wanted Aqua to be her friend. He knew that being a child in that kind of environment was difficult. The director added that he was relieved when he saw Kana interacting with the othermembers of B-Komachi.
Kana & Ruby’s Personal Tensions Are About to Take Center Stage
When Taishi sees Kana and Ruby acting coldly towards one another, he becomes stressed. He tried to make Aqua interfere, but he refused to do so. Towards the end of the chapter, fans saw Ruby and Kana all dressed up for the shoot.InOshi no KoChapter136, the shooting will proceed as planned. According to Taishi, they will be filming the scene where Nino speaks harshly to Ai. At the time, the director had no idea that it could have been a problem, but after seeing the tension between Kana and Ruby, he was worried.
There is a strong chance that things are going to escalate further. Both of them are meant to be professionals, but it is hard to ignore the fact that they are on the edge emotionally. So, in the next chapter, Kana and Ruby might go for each other’s jugular. If Aqua decides to be on the sidelines, then the responsibility will fall on Mem-Cho to fix everything. She is a sensible person, so she certainly has the tools to broker peace between the two.
The Situation Might Be Too Much For Even Aqua to Handle
While Aqua refuses to intervene in any way, if he sees Ruby in great distress, he is going to speak out for sure. He cares about his sister, so he can’t just stand there and wait till things get worse. It is likely that after the filming is over, Aqua will meet Ruby and ask her about the tension with Kana. Ruby may finallyreveal that Kana openlystated that she hates her, and this piece of information might shock Aqua to his very core.
Naturally, he is going to try and understand why Kana hates his sister so much. It is definitely going to be an emotional moment for Ruby, as she is jittery, and opening up about her feelings might send her over. Considering Aqua’s character, his plan to help Ruby may not be the most pleasing. In fact, there is a chance that he could do something that might hurt Kana.
Things Could Get A Whole Lot Worse For Ruby Very Soon
Unlike her brother, Ruby is actually trying to learn more about their mother’s character. Rubythought about whethertheir mother would also sometimes cry when she was under a great deal of stress.
She wondered whether Ai was a frail woman who only kept smiling to deceive the rest of the world. Ruby’s questioning will definitely eat away at her conscience, and she might end up doing something reckless in Chapter 136.
Oshi no KoChapter 136 will be released on July 30, 2025. It will be available to read onMangaPlus.
