What Happens in Oshi no Ko Chapter 156?

Oshi no Ko Chapter 156 shifted the focus to Mem-Cho following the cliffhanger of Aqua’s story in Chapter 155. Specifically, Mem-Cho’s rising fame has led to the Idol’s newfound stress and pressure of having the secret of her real age revealed to the public by paparazzi and tabloids. Mem-Cho’s age has been a long-running secret introduced since the beginning of the series.

Moreover, the character finally acknowledges it and reveals the secret to the public in her own way, which makes Oshi no Ko really feel like it is coming to an end. Much of the themes of the story have been about secrecy, deception, and putting on a facade in the quest for success, whether that be fame or revenge. Watching the truth come to light in various characters’ lives makes the story come full circle, and hopefully, Chapter 157 will continue that trend.

And that’s the confirmed release date of Oshi no Ko Chapter 157.
