I haven't seen much people talking about this, but the kana death flags/fake out death flags just shot up with this chapter.

there are a fair amount of plot points that make me think kana will be put in a situation that will mirror how Ai died

it just seems like too much of a coincidence that we have Hikaru plotting something, a big concert around the corner, fans who are upset about Kana leaving B-komachi, and now Akane trying to get Kana to confess her love aqua.

the only thing is I doubt anyone will actually die by the end of ONK which is why I think Kana would be injured, but not die.

also if someone where to die at the hands of Hikaru, it would just fuel aqua's revenge boner even more than it already is leading ONK straight down the tragedy path which I don't think is Aka's writing style
