While in the legend-filled town of Takachiho for B Komachi’s music video shoot, Ruby learned that the murder of Ai didn’t fall on just one culprit. Someone is still out there, living a carefree life—and she just can’t let that be. Act 7 of Oshi no Ko begins!
“How much of this was you? …No, how far back did you start pulling the strings?” When the TV show Dig Deep!! faces online backlash, Ruby manages to swing the controversy in her favor to boost her own rising popularity. Sensing someone else’s influence in Ruby’s sudden attitude shift, Aqua seeks out Ichigo Saitou, missing president of Ichigo Production. Ichigo has his own reasons for wanting to avenge Ai, and to Aqua’s dismay, the young actor learns that his own quest for retribution may not yet be resolved…
