[Oshi No Ko], Vol. 6

“The actor who’s written off as lousy—If they start doing something completely epic out of nowhere, it’s dynamite.” As the opening day approaches, Aqua’s stage debut is marred by the trauma of his past. If he can’t draw upon his own emotions, he won’t be able to deliver the performance that the newly edited script requires. As onstage factions fracture the cast, he and Akane put in hours of extra work to ensure they don’t disappoint the audience—or lose to Kana and the top actor of Theater Lalalai!
