“If you ever cheat on me, I’ll definitely…” Akane Kurokawa’s complex feelings toward her “womanizing playboy” boyfriend, Anime “Oshi No Ko” Episode 26

Episode 26 of the anime “Oshi No Ko” has been airing since January 21. A scene where the usually calm Akane Kurokawa (CV: Manaka Iwami) showed a glimpse of jealousy toward her boyfriend Aqua (CV: Takeo Otsuka) drew laughs from viewers, with comments like, “That sudden yandere aura caught me off guard lol” and “Aqua, you better watch out! haha.”

Aqua and Akane started as a “business couple” born from a dating reality show, but they are now officially in a relationship. In Episode 26, “Calculation,” Akane is walked home by Aqua after finishing work.

Akane is aware that Aqua was originally attracted to Kana Arima (CV: Megumi Han). While walking with him under a shared umbrella, Akane confessed her inner thoughts: “I try not to think about the reason you decided to date me, because it’s probably not a very pleasant one—and to be honest, I’m not all that interested.”

Her selfless monologue continued with thoughts like, “(Aqua) is being a good boyfriend. For me, as long as that need is met, it’s more than enough. Asking for anything more would be like tempting fate.” However, the mood shifted instantly as she burned with jealousy: “But if you ever cheat on me with another girl, I’ll definitely kill you…!” Watching Aqua from behind, Akane pouted and thought, “I know you're just a womanizing flirt, Aqua-kun! I’m keeping a very close eye on you!”
