The final episode of Oshi no Ko season 3 aired this week, and now that it’s outpaced the physical manga releases stateside, I was definitely not ready for it.
Warning: spoilers ahead!
The repercussions of the reveal might lead to some squiggly stuff, but for now, I want to bask in the powerful moment Aqua and Ruby shared. Breathtaking and tearful!
Check out this wonderful illustration of the moment—first done when the manga revealed this scene:
