What Happens in Oshi no Ko Chapter 157?

Ruby and Aqua resting in Oshi no Ko Chapter 157

Oshi no Ko Chapter 157, titled An Ordinary Day, a Wonderful Day, is a quiet and peaceful chapter. It seems at first that the chapter does nothing to further the plot, as it just shows Aqua and Ruby on a day off resting at home. However, this chapter can also be viewed as the calm before the storm, with both characters reflecting on everything they’ve done thus far in their careers. Ruby reflects on being an idol, and Aqua shows a rare moment of inner peace.

Moreover, while there was no immediate development, you can’t help but get a sense of dread at what might happen next. Oshi no Ko has had an incredible manga run thus far, and hopefully, Chapter 158 will continue that trend.

And that’s the confirmed release date of Oshi no Ko Chapter 158.
