Oshi no Ko Episode 4 Spoilers and What to Expect in Episode 5

Aqua finishes his limited role on “Sweet Today” with a bang, giving an improvised, daring performance that drew focus to his co-star, Kana Arima. Kana then turned in a standout scene that saved the series in the eyes of the fans, and while the scene was meant to capture the look on her face as she fell in love with the protagonist, the truth is, this was the moment she fell for Aqua.

Aqua, Ruby, and Kana meet at the school they’re now enrolled at later on, and the siblings begin considering talent to recruit for Ruby’s idol group. They even meet Frill Shiranui, whose name you should recognize if you’re a fan of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, prompting Ruby to want to build enough of a profile to feel worthy alongside her stellar classmates. In a struggle to find prospective idols, Aqua notes the star power of Kana herself and throws her name into the mix. Episode 4 overall adapted Chapters 17-19 of the manga.

With Episode 5 of Oshi no Ko, this release will adapt Chapters 20-22 with how the series is being paced. Kana comes to grips with her new feelings for Aqua, which grow more complicated as he throws himself into a dating reality show. New supporting characters will be introduced, including stellar actress Akane Kurokawa and YouTuber/TikTok star Mem-Cho. The former is a future love interest/cover for Aqua, and the latter is a new prospective member of Ruby’s group, B-Komachi.
