aqua: well im done with revenge time to live a normal life
ruby: I WANT TO SEE BLOOD MURDER KILL KILL KILL

[Sarah ♡ (let’s interact!) · Rating 5 out of 5]

“With Tokyo Blade all wrapped up and his crusade for vengeance quelled, Aqua is unsure what to do next. Sensing his strange mood, Ruby invites him to join B Komachi for three days in Miyazaki as they shoot the music video for their first original song— and Kana certainly has no objections to him being there! The journey will be Aqua's first time seeing his former home since being killed and reborn. With mixed feelings about the future mingling with shadows of the past, the trip to Miyazaki promises to be unforgettable...”

Reading Oshi No Ko as and when the physical English volumes are released. I know this manga series has ended now, and I know people have been left feeling underwhelmed by the ending, but I’m trying to not let this cloud my judgement or enjoyment - because with the art style and storyline - I think this might be one of my all time favourite manga. 💖

Me gusto el cambio de roles en el manga (Finalllyyyyy)
Aqua ya relajado y decidido a dejar de lado su plan de venganza para vivir su vida de joven "normal" perooo ahora teniendo una Ruby que quiere venganza 🔪🔪🔪
Me tomó re desprevenida este cambio de roles y creo que fue una buena idea para seguir con la trama, mis expectativas es que ambos se revelen sus identidades, crisis entre ellos dos y a los ultimo que los dos esten re desquiciados y maten al asesino 😗

I love Aqua, but I'm so glad we're finally getting more Ruby!

Also, creepy child alert?!?

[Aimee Spencer-Kruczek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sooo... revenge is back on the menu! And unexpectedly so. Meanwhile, what exactly is Aqua and Akane's relationship now? All these and more keep the story going!!!

Des mois plus tard, je reviens et reprends Oshi no Ko. J'ai probablement traînée parce que je savais que j'arrivais à la partie inédite par rapport à l'anime et que j'ai tellement aimé celui-ci. Mais ça y est, nous y voilà ! 

Sortir un peu de Tokyo pour revenir aux sources est une excellente idée. On revient ainsi vers ce qui animait l'histoire à l'origine : la recherche de la vérité sur ce qui est arrivé à Aï mais pas que ! Même si les dessins et la mise en scène ne sont pas à la hauteur de l'anime, j'ai beaucoup aimé cette séquence qui relance l'histoire sur tous les niveaux. 

En nous rendant là-bas, on découvre ce qui est arrivé à l'incarnation passée d'Aoi, on dialogue aussi avec Ruby et ses dessins venant de son incarnation précédente. En parallèle, Aoi est confronté à son présent et sa relation avec Akane évolue, l'ancrant un peu plus dans le présent, ce qui fait du bien. Ruby, elle, face aux découvertes qui ont lieu gagne en maturité et ce n'est pas trop tôt car franchement je ne trouvais pas son personnage hyper intéressant. Cerise sur le gâteau, le mystère du ou plutôt des meurtres est maintenant relancé et un homme rode dans les pages, titillant forcément notre curiosité de lecteur.

Tout ceci a permis d'avoir une lecture entraînante et addictive où finalement les séquences tournant autour du groupe d'Idols d'Aï passent plutôt bien, là où je les craignais, car ce n'est clairement pas ce qui m'intéresse ici. Je m'en moque un peu des histoires de coeur de Kana, des followers à conquérir pour Memcho, etc. En revanche, j'aime voir Aoi tomber peu à peu le masque et au contraire Ruby sortir de son monde de bisounours. Tout cela permet à la série de grimper en qualité et pas juste grâce au sens du spectacle éphémère des performances d'Aoi. 

Tome charnière, en revenant littéralement aux sources de la saga, il la remet sur les rails et approfondit tout en relançant les jeunes personnages qui manquaient encore un peu de relief. Nous avons donc de nouvelles promesses pour la suite qui s'annoncent des plus alléchantes.

Aqua spilled his heart out about how he was just using Akane, and yet she still continues to support and care for him. He keeps leading her on and ughhhhh she doesn’t deserve trash like him.

I feel horrible for Ruby since the bomb that was dropped on her is almost equivalent to Aqua’s reason for living to be about Ai. Now, she’s just as emotionless and hollow as Aqua was. I hope that she doesn’t become as obsessed with Ai as Aqua is (which looks like the case unfortunately). I hated seeing her lose her spark. Then again, I can’t wait to see when Ruby and Aqua realize that they are going after the same person and maybe realize about knowing each other in their past lives.

The whole love thing is still weird but at least it’s relatively less weird now that she knows that the old Aqua is dead.

I’m glad that Akane and Kana are less like enemies and more like rivals/frenemies. Their dynamic seems better whenever there’s no/little petty grudges in the way of the plot.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, at least Goro’s corpse was found…. Probably one of the only good consequences to come out of this chapter.

Ruby has turned to the dark side now. She is on her path of revenge, but is hoping that Aqua will do it for her. The problem is, Aqua thinks that he finally found peace, so he’s not searching anymore. This leaves Akane as the only playing card. SHE KNOWS that Aqua wasn’t completed his goal, and has yet to tell him. Will she? NO ONE KNOWS GOSH DARN IT.

Also, it’s official: I’m an Aquakane shipper. The fact that that woman can still live Aqua after admitting he was using her is a bit toxic, but I’m here for it.

[Vilma Diaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is very good. There are definitely dark elements, what with learning about the seedy underbelly of show business and stuff, but it also manages to be funny and lighthearted at times.

This volume was more on the dark side, though. It was interesting to see Ruby’s’ character going down a darker path. So far, she seemed the more cheerful and optimistic of the two. The events in this volume changed that.

I’m curious about what the next arc will bring. It seems like Aqua is ready to start living a life beyond Ai’s memory, but I’m not sure if he’ll be allowed to. Also, what was up with the kid with the crows? It gave me a supernatural vibe. Which I was not expecting.

[Wahyudha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Saaat Aqua merasa sudah selesai. Orang yang dicari untuk membalas dendam sudah tak ada di dunia. Tak ada lagi motivasi untuk meneruskan akting. Bahkan Aqua hendak segera mengakhiri hubungannya dengan Akane.

Tapi, saat Aqua, Rubi, dan tim manajemen pergi ke kota Miyazaki. Tempat paling memorable bagi duo saudara Hoshino.Sesuatu yang gelap tentang masa lalu datang lagi.
KAli ini Ruby, adik Aqua yang bertemu dengan gadis misterius dan para gagak.Pertemuan yang meninggalkan pertanyaan tentang masa lalu.

[Sarul Sakulthong · Rating 5 out of 5]

เป็นเล่มที่มีแต่ฉากพีคๆให้อ่านแล้ววางไม่ลงจริงๆ รู้สึกได้เลยว่าเส้นทางที่เรื่องนี้มุ่งไปต้องดาร์คแน่ๆ แค่คิดก็ตื่นเต้นอยากอ่านต่อแล้ว สนุกมากจริงๆ แถมยังได้ความรู้เกี่ยวกับวงการบันเทิงเยอะมาก สงสัยจริงๆว่าผู้เขียนเคยเป็นคนในวงการมาก่อนเหรอ ทำไมรู้ลึกมาก ส่วนสาวๆที่จะมาคู่กับอควานี่เดาไม่ถูกจริงๆว่าจะลงเอยที่ใคร แม้ตอนนี้เรื่องราวจะเอนมาทางคนหนึ่ง แต่ก็ดูเหมือนเขาจะมีใจให้อีกคนด้วย รอลุ้นต่อไปละกัน ลงเรือไปแล้วลำหนึ่ง หวังว่าจะไม่ล่ม

[chelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

okay okay OKAY. Was ist hier los?! Es passiert so unglaublich viel. Diese ganzen Verknüpfungen und Beziehungen sind sooooo gut ausgeklügelt. Ich bin maximal hooked und super aufgeregt!
Seite 37 hat mich schon komplett überwältigt und als dann später das kleine gruselige Kind auftaucht... WTF?! Das Düstere an der Reihe nimmt wieder mehr Fahrt auf und ich liebe alles daran.
RUBY MY GIRL you got this!

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 3 out of 5]

C'è una parte di me che vorrebbe scendere a due stelline perché ci sono stati due aspetti che proprio non mi sono piaciuti: quell'aria di soprannaturale data dal corvo e soprattutto la bambina inquietantissima.

Però... il resto della storia continua a essere perfetto. Se da un lato Aqua si è calmato perché crede di aver scoperto la verità, Ruby si mette in testa di vendicare la madre. E si torna da capo.

[Natalia · Rating 4 out of 5]

The plot and murder mystery is truly amazing and intriguing and the dark twists are so captivating and unexpected, all characters are extremely well written and are not flat, so glad we're learning more about what actually happened, also seeing all the character development, both positive and negative makes this story really great (and omg, Ruby last few chapters>>>), but the romance here is just 😭 I don't care if the final girl will be Kana nor Akane, but please, just please don't be Ruby 🤮🤮

[Greg · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5/5 Another excellent volume of Oshi no Ko. The cast returns to the city were Ai gave birth, Ruby died, and where Aqua was killed in their first lives. We get more growth in the Aqua and Akane romance and the discovery of Aqua’s original body.

We also get super Saiyan 2 star eyed Ruby. So intense.

An adorable Meme-Cho on the cover of volume 8.

3.5
empecé el live action y es tan bueno que decidí seguir el manga que tenía ya pendiente para leer primero antes que ver!!!!
no me gusta akane x aqua dios necesito que esté con kana
ruby chikita no puede ser que ahora esté tan transtornada como aqua
no pasa mucho excepto encontrar el cuerpo perooooo a partir de acá la historia se va a poner buena creo

[Danny Ugalde · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed seeing the relationship between Akane and Aqua progress and seeing how the chains that had been weighing down Aqua for so long are gone to the point where he feels free to live his life as he sees fit- at least for now that is. I can’t wait to see how Ruby’s descent to where Aqua had been for so long will manifest and how it’ll affect her relationships and behavior.

[Stephen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Teen Romance is in the air, or rather in these pages of Oshi No Ko! Steamy moments don't wait to slowly come (by page 23 we already have a huge one!). This volume lightened the mood heavily about revenge and really gave me the 90210 vibes (which that statement alone is aging me, ha ha ha). This was a fun volume for me though, and so I stay entertained and intrigued!

[Mal♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahh that was soo good
Those ruby panels when she realised doctor died omg
I don't like the fact that Aqua uses Akane ,their relationship is not healthy for sure. She accepts it just to be by his side.
