Oshi no Ko Manga Ending: Release Date, Spoilers & What to Expect

Oshi no Ko manga Ending: The Countdown to the Finale!

Oshi no Ko's Final Curtain Call: Four Chapters to Resolve Everything!

Get ready, Oshi no Ko fans! The wildly popular manga, created by the amazing duo Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, is ending its four-year run soon. The official announcement came from the official Oshi no Ko X account (formerly Twitter); revealing those remaining chapters.

Four chapters remain! These final installments begin October 23rd, 2024 and will bring a close to the narrative; everything coming to a head after a short one-week break!  And this whole thing concludes November 14th, 2024. It will definitively answer the cliffhangers left at the end of chapter #162.   The finale also coincides with the anime's recent season 2; which clearly paves the way for multiple additional seasons that would fully continue until this amazing manga eventually reaches its conclusion. This manga was praised constantly for being closely aligned with the very high-quality anime.

What Happens Next? Big Questions, Big Answers!

Most fans want those answers: Was it just another mysterious murder and who were those involved?  The mystery involving those terrible people behind Ai's murder, as well as uncovering others that might even surpass Ai's immense success? These major plot points are largely resolved.

This upcoming Chapter 163 and those subsequent final three will clarify this, with questions like these awAiting those awaiting these much-anticipated answers:

  • Will Aqua (our hero) finally fulfill his medical ambition? This particular ambition goes far back, from those earliest moments within the manga's overall story arc. It could end differently, leaving things ambiguous in that sense.
  • Will Aqua make time for those people closest to him?  The manga focuses largely on him making an incredibly difficult decision that changes almost every plot thread ever involving those other key characters in Oshi no Ko, and this would definitely highlight that difficult choice he made previously. Those very close to him remain deeply important – which means those very significant connections could resolve here!
  • Will Aqua’s reconciliation with Taiki; his recognition of Miyako; his amends with Akane; his reaction to Kana’s feelings; and his watching Ruby’s Dome performance all contribute to this ending. That Dome performance alone carries intense importance and potential danger due to Ai’s prior events and experiences. These create a whole new tension around an expected victory moment; adding another intense layer that could cause unexpected outcomes, which leaves audiences awaiting the resolution eagerly.

Those are just some possibilities awAiting you all!

Who Lives, Who Dies? Aqua's Fate Remains Unclear!

Fans want one thing – knowing what would happen to Aqua. The chapter #162 ending leaves it totally open; this ambiguity really creates quite a significant amount of suspense in these moments that clearly builds a new expectation for what this finale will ultimately create for Aqua’s ending. There could possibly be some closure; this would also greatly impact whether his main desire to improve as a person will succeed, creating closure on various layers.

After resolving that initial desire to become a heart surgeon; as a goal related to saving people’s lives, Kana Arima's mentions highlight this: He actually does this because saving people’s lives feels right and aligns perfectly to his actions throughout. This has already been confirmed throughout various parts of the series, hinting at potential resolutions and possibly making an initially very unpleasant character, become deeply caring!

Chapter 163's ending presents intense possibilities; particularly with Kana and Akane’s unresolved love triangles with Aqua which greatly impact many elements from what has come before. While a “happy” ending would be a welcome break from all the typical somber tones seen earlier, that might completely disregard how Aqua’s current mental state has greatly been established and shaped from the circumstances throughout; that is a crucial factor for deciding Oshi no Ko’s ultimate direction. His “malice” is long gone. The real question here:  Will Aqua be around to see them?  That makes the uncertainty for many audiences more difficult to fully determine!

Oshi no Ko is nearing the finish line! And this short wait (only those last four chapters!), ends November 14th, 2024. We need answers, the ones around the ending, especially on who ultimately lives and dies. This is particularly centered on Aqua, given that ambiguous cliffhanger and several intense moments within that very last portion of the recently ended chapter #162.  It could deliver one of those great ending resolutions; which shows great growth within those key characters!

This is something that needs to be viewed as more than just another great manga. This ending might just define what could happen to everyone involved within the overarching series, leaving immense value from these various emotional story arcs!
