Exploring the Untold Connection between Gorou and Sarina in Oshi no Ko Chapter 142

With the release of Oshi no Ko chapter 142, the focus of the manga shifted to the events leading up to Aqua and Ruby's kissing scene as Hikaru and Ai. Despite Aqua's initial hesitation, Ruby and the rest of their colleagues were insistent on keeping the scene as authentic as possible.

The previous chapter of the manga provided hints about Airi Himekawa's background and how the entertainment industry exploited women in nighttime establishments. Furthermore, it also alluded to the upcoming kissing scene between Ruby and Aqua, portraying them as Ai and Hikaru Kamiki.

Chapter 142 of Oshi no Ko, titled Responsibility, began with Kana Arima, Mem-Cho, and Miyako Saitou discussing the upcoming kissing scene between siblings Ruby and Aqua. Despite Miyako and Kana's reservations, Mem-Cho believed it could boost the film's popularity.

Mem-Cho then disclosed that Ruby actually appeared enthusiastic about the scene, contradicting her earlier claim of being coerced. The manga also revealed that the kissing scene between Ai and Hikaru was not written by Aqua, but by Yoriko Kichijouji and Abiko Samejima.

Aqua sought advice from two manga creators in the past, who praised his language but found the script lacking entertainment value. They decided to revamp the story, focusing on enhancing the romance between Ai and Hikaru to make their scenes feel more like romantic comedies.

Despite Aqua's request to limit the kissing scene to a cheek kiss, Yoriko and Abiko refused. They believed that as the writer, Aqua had a responsibility to take full ownership of every aspect of the story he was creating, without creating a safety zone for himself.

Oshi no Ko chapter 142 then transitioned to the present with Aqua expressing his concerns about his role as the film's writer. Ruby overheard Aqua mentioning "responsibility" and jokingly reminded him that he would be responsible for her first kiss.

Aqua appeared hesitant about the scene, so Ruby suggested a scenario to make it easier for him to kiss her. She proposed that Aqua envision her as her past self, Sarina Tendouji, while she would imagine Aqua as his former self, Gorou Amamiya.

She even sets the scenario where Sarina miraculously recovers from her illness. Despite that, she continues to visit the hospital to meet Gorou Amamiya. On her 18th birthday, she finally gathers the courage to confess her feelings to him.

Ruby inquires Aqua if he would be able to kiss her in a hypothetical situation. Aqua hesitates, unsure if he could go through with it. In response, Ruby proposes that they practice the scene before filming the next day.
