It’s been a while since the last time a truly troubling or dark chapter of Oshi no Ko came out. But with leaks and rumors swirling about Oshi no Ko Chapter 131, we get a glimpse into the childhood of Ai Hoshino, and her problematic mother.
Oshi no Ko Chapter 131 Leaks & Rumors: Ai and Her Abusive Childhood
Ai Hoshino gets an important deep dive as hinted by leaks for Oshi no Ko Chapter 131, namely her relationship with her mother, Ayumi Hoshino. Thanks to leaks from trusted sources like d0nut on Twitter, we find out just how loaded with problems Ai’s past was. Even at the age of 8 or 9, she was drawing the attention of a man Ayumi was seeing, and despite plans for marriage, he showed interest in Ai.

The resulting tension meant Ayumi couldn’t see her partner the same way anymore, and her anger at him was matched with a twisted jealousy and resentment of Ai’s premature beauty. This story is loaded with troubling threads, namely the apparent pedophilic attraction this man felt to her, but also her mother not being able to help feeling jealous of Ai.
Charges for petty theft were what ultimately separated Ayumi from her daughter, which was undoubtedly the right decision, even though that introduced a few other problems down the line for Ai. It’s after this discussion that Akane appears as Aqua’s leaving, reminding him and us as the readers that she is coming to prevent Aqua from ever going too far, playing his better angel as she brings him home.
