Oh shit, things are getting interesting now. But seriously, what's the author trying to pull? Ruby still loving her doctor and wanting to marry him is cute and all, but there's no way she'll win the Aquabowl is there? Does the author have the guts to pull off a Oreimo?
Imagine being so unlucky that you die of cancer at 12, reincarnate as the daughter of your favorite idol only for her to be murdered when you're a baby and now find out the guy you wanted to marry has been dead for over a decade without anyone knowing. Next thing that'll happen might be finding out the doctor you love also reincarnated, but is now your twin brother. Ruby can't seem to catch a break can she?
Aqua asks Akane out on a date after she (they?) record their testimonies. Aqua confesses to Akane that he had been using her all along. Akane understands that Aqua cannot let their situation weigh on his conscience anymore and is ready to break up with him to set him free. Akane is about to burst into tears at this point and when Aqua sees this he hugs Akane and gives her a kiss. The last part of the spoiler seems to imply that Aqua and Akane will now be going out for real
Easton Roberts
user use Ctrl+s if you want to spoiler stuff. Beyond that, you just recapped a plot that's been going on up to the last few chapters, anyone that's been reading the manga knows this, what's your point? The story ain't over, so Akane might not be endgame.

>The last part of the spoiler seems to imply that Aqua and Akane will now be going out for real And thus, Arima Kana is kill

Dont really believe that but I am ready to laugh at Kanakeks if it somehow turn out to be real

Hunter Morris
>chapter ends in Ruby cliffhanger, most massive one in the story >next chapter spoilers come out >"Aqua Akane Kana shipping love triangle stuff stuff stuff Ruby who cliffhanger what plot whence" but why
David Edwards
Source plz because I don't believe it. Aqua would date Akane for real only if they were some Ai imagery involved.
That said, I believe Aqua and Akane will become legit, or at least Aqua will develop feelings for Akane before her demise.
Then he will get on with Kana / she pulls him out of hell (revenge etc...)
Otherwise, Kana would be a deadweight for the story.
Ethan Hernandez
I'm more pissed about this. >Introduce some cryptic kid with a murder of crows that knows what's going on, implying the reincarnation thing isn't just a "don't think about it" supernatural macguffin and there might be something more to it. >Make it feel like the story's reaching some big boiling point. >Nah nerds don't think about it, it's romcom shenanigans time.
I mean, that's fine. The story is not ending, so drip-feeding that kind of large scale plot stuff makes sense. We have things like the ex-president guy disappearing and he is yet to show up, but we know he will. It's no rush.
But leaving off a chapter like the previous one on such an urgent cliffhanger and then (apparently, according to spoilers) spending the bulk of the immediately following one on barely related shit that yet again sidelines the character most in need of screentime is just weird.
Matthew Wilson
>next chapter: aqua hears about this Nice. I hope he and Ruby sit down and talk about their previous lives this arc.
Hunter Ward
>Aqua confesses to Akane that he had been using her all along Huh? Didn't she tell him already that she knows and doesn't mind helping even if he wanted to kill the guy? Hell, the reason why she's not telling him that the whole dad stuff isn't solved yet is because she saw him being happy about being free of the burden.

sounds like the guy giving spoilers is a schizo shipperfag with brainrot
which gives me hope the actual chapter is more substantial than and not yet more romcom fodder at the worst possible timing (even though it still is based just on what the chink mentions)
Luis Kelly
Kanafags already coping
Thomas Myers
Based if true. Ruby is the best choice here, but hey, at least he didn't choose Kana.
Robert James
at least it wasn't a kana chapter
Parker Hall
The problem with kana is in essence the same as what I'm complaining about though, which is the half-assed romcom elements and general low-stakes "showbiz" shit overtaking the focused Ai+Goro+Sarina plot which is more or less when the manga gets entertaining. Theater arc was the epitome of this but if the tendency keeps dragging into every part of the manga from now on, even when it JUST seemed like we were gonna get some real big shit a chapter ago, then it's just dead to rights
Lucas Roberts
This. If Kana is completly absent it's even better.
Jace Kelly
She's going to be killed off 100%, but Kanafags being BTFO'd in the moment feels real nice
Jose Morgan
Akanefags are going to be cocky and use this as a sign she'll win. They'll end up being wrong and btfo in the end. Mark my words.
Thomas Hernandez
Nahh, it's too obvious at this point and aka probably already heard of this theory and gonna adjust accordingly
Jason Brown
>Akane chapter still I sleep.
David Cox
What if Akane doesn't die?
Ethan Rogers
as much as I love akane, why are we back to the romcom shit so soon. is there a break after this chapter?
Wyatt Brooks
Hotness if Ruby wins. Cuteness if Kana wins. Boring if Akane wins.
Brandon Flores
finally things are happening again in this manga that theatre arc was the gayest shit man it wasn't even good theatre like act age rip
Jack Myers
>sounds like the guy giving spoilers is a schizo shipperfag with brainrot Nah source is fiable 100%
I'm not saying he's lying, only skipping/glossing over everything that isn't relevant to his obsession
Nathan Martinez
>Aqua has no romantic feelings for Akane and he's been using her the whole time >Akane knows this and uses croc tears to guilt Aqua into comforting her, which the latter does because he isn't heartless I don't think this kind of relationship will last.
Henry White
>why are we back to the romcom shit so soon Aka is tired.He killed Kaguya manga and he wanted to do the same thing for this story too. >The story is boring and repetitive. >The main plot is not important anymore >Kana x Aqua x Akane focus since 1 year
Ethan Gutierrez
It would make Kana a total bitch if the one who get stabbed to death was actually Akane
How the fuck do you jump from a dead body to THIS?
Ayden Cox
Kek after iB cringe edgefest and Kaguya half-assed and heavy handed dramas, why does anyone still believe that Aka is capable of handling non-romcom narratives? Even Mengo does better in that department
William Evans
>" shit overtaking the focused Ai+Goro+Sarina plot which is more or less when the manga gets entertaining. SO TRUE >Theater arc was the epitome of this but if the tendency keeps dragging into every part of the manga from now on, even when it JUST seemed like we were gonna get some real big shit a chapter ago, then it's just dead to rights Disappointed but not surprised. Aka is obsessed by "the love" than "the plot". Add his obsession toward 2 useless girls characters
Jonathan Rodriguez
You don’t fool anyone and I say this as an Akane fan.
Easton Thompson
Why is everyone getting outraged by fake spoilers?
Blake Brown
>people calling bullshit Isn't this the same cryptic leaker we've had for a long while now? Pic related is even from last year.
Don't worry Kanabro this is just yet another death flag for Akane, Kana will win
Brandon Allen
Fucking retard. The issue isn't necessarily Kana herself, the issue would be that Aka tends to go on romcom tangents at weird inoppurtune times, usually after a notable moment. Most of the time that involves Kana, but it can happen with anyone as these spoilers (if true) are seeming to show. Like Akane just saw a skeleton with proof that it's a doctor. I'd imagine most people would think the follow up to that would be her putting pieces together, not whatever that shit in the second post is
Leo Mitchell
Actual Kanafag here. I am barely fazed since I'm pretty optimistic about the Kana end. These episodes with Akane are bumps along the road, that's all.
Colton Jones
It sounds more like Akane than Ai. When was Ai ever considered a prodigy like Akane is?
Jaxon Rogers
Assuming the spoilers are true, it's funny how both Ruby and Kana have now lost their main reason for being idols. I feel bad for Memcho.
What? That's been the whole thing that Ai was a top of the top idol. Read the chapter when they debut at that idol festival. The guy is saying she was the best
Levi Wright
Called it. Aqua cares about Kana but doesn't see her as a woman, same way he cared for Serina but didn't want to fuck her.
William Perez
Won't it be very easy for Akane to figure out that the doctor Ruby loved died before she was born or while she's still a baby, thus making her story that she fell in love with the deceased doctor really weird?
Juan Martin
>inb4 Aka rips off Golden Time and has Ghost Aqua tell him he loves Kana
Jeremiah Johnson
You know I've been rereading some early chapters and it seems clear to me that large chunks of the story have been shuffled around, modified or just rewritten entirely.
Most importantly for the current issue is how Ruby pretty much never really mentioned Goro at the start. She was only interested in Ai, she "always wanted" to be an idol but derided her lack of physicality, she wanted to follow in Ai's footsteps since she shone so brigthly. But around the debut concert chapter she brings up the idea that actually, her main motivation to become an idol was her crush on Goro. And since then it's been treated as THE thing, even though it essentially didn't exist before. It's kinda jarring to notice the transition as it happens to be honest. Really feels like avoiding writing Ruby for so long, or not having any idea of what to do with her, ended up biting Aka in the ass.
Nathaniel Jackson
Even if Akane ends up dying and Kana wins, doesn't this mean Kana was the 2nd choice after all?
Parker Clark
>No, I don't want that !! Akane finding another man ?! k*no is back
Blake Allen
I wanted to know more about the Ruby subplot, not this shit!
Aiden Ross
Kana is for Meltgami >Aqua's relationship will be filled with drama because he chose with his dick while Melt will have a stable relationship with Kana because he didn't
Owen Hall
Better than a Kana wank chapter
Leo Richardson
But they were always saying she had a natural charisma. Not some genius prodigy skills.
Anyway, that line from the first few chapters can easily be applied to Akane, even if it wasn't meant for her at the time.
Jeremiah Brooks
>ruby has a goddamn meltdown after seeing her first and final crush apparently be killed and skeletonized after a decade >teehee, guess we're dating now right aqua? *kissies*
Ryder Thompson
The debut concert chapter was like a year ago though. It's not like this is out of nowhere
Kevin Cooper
>ffw 5 years from now >OnK is ending >After countless drama and mysteries everything is resolved >Aqua retires to private life, and Akane (now his fiancée) follows him with Ruby too >Final scenes where Aqua is having a happy family life fucking Akane and Ruby while Kana keeps seething in show biz >Kana ends up marrying some washed out actor
