3. Chapter 142 Speculation
Ai confronts Airi after Hikaru confesses, but Airi believes she is in the right. Airi is just continuing what she has been a victim of and grew up believing was right. However, the toxic cycle needs to end with her, as Hikaru is being taken advantage of.
Despite what Airi believes, her behavior is unjustified, and she should take responsibility as an adult. Ai might intervene to make her stop getting further involved with Hikaru.
As the shooting progresses, Ai and Hikaru continue to grow closer. Ruby and Aqua are supposed to shoot the kissing scene between Ai and Hikaru. However, they are siblings, so it will be extremely weird and uncomfortable.
Ruby is strangely elated by the fact, but Kana is extremely disturbed. We might see how Aqua feels about this when the scene is set. While we have had insights into every other actor’s feeling, we haven’t seen much of Aqua’s feelings about playing Hikaru.
4. Chapter 141 Recap
Chapter 141 of Oshi No Ko is titled “Chain.” After Hikaru confesses everything to Ai, she confronts Airi. However, Airi is convinced she is not wrong, as Hikaru has never objected to anything. Hikaru is still a child, so he can’t differentiate between right and wrong, and Airi is an adult, so he assumes she must be right.
Ai accuses Airi of being an incapable adult and forcing responsibility on Hikaru and calls her a sex offender. However, Airi has been through the same thing and thinks this is right. She believes it is okay since she treats Hikaru much better than she was treated.
Mem-cho, Akane, and Miyako discuss the chain reaction that leads the victims to become offenders themselves. The reasoning is that if their dignity was taken away through sex, that is how they can also gain it back. However, this starts a toxic cycle that is prevalent in the entertainment industry.
Miyako shares her own experiences of twenty years ago when she was still active. A lot of agencies invited young celebrities, even minors, to drink with influential older men. Akane is grateful that all they must do now is play hostess, which just proves how this practice will never truly end.
People who have lived through this are carrying it forward. Many girls give in in fear of getting their jobs cut short. The industry continues to take advantage of women by normalizing things that should not be happening.
In an industry that runs on lookism, where sex and beauty are sold, and the idea of indulging in physical contact is “right,” Miyako questions how far a person can be right. Himekawa has lost both his parents to this industry, so he knows the need to feel one is right or else it will be their end.
The discussion gets too heavy, so Akane lightens the mood by throwing a jab at Himekawa, who starts defending himself, dragging Aqua into it. Aqua refuses to join the discussion, and Himekawa is left to justify himself for going to nightclubs.
The darkness cannot be removed from the world, so they can’t hope to forget that and live in blissful ignorance while being a part of the entertainment industry. Kana and Ruby are stunned by how dedicated Frill is to her role. Frill plans on giving it her all, otherwise, it wouldn’t matter.
Frill reminds Ruby of her upcoming kissing scene with Aqua and how she will also have to give it her all for the sake of acting despite being siblings. While Kana is disgusted, Ruby looks concernedly pleased.
