Chapter 116

Responsibility (責任) is the one-hundred sixteenth chapter of Oshi no Ko manga series. It is written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari.

Summary
Akane believes the audition is set up to determine who will be playing the lead role, Ai, since the movie that Gotanda is making is about her. Ruby then asks if her brother is trying to profit off it, but Frill doesn't believe so. After reading the script, she believes that Aqua is trying to kill his father with this work and that Gotanda and Aqua are making this movie to get their revenge. While it is true that the movie is depicting Ai's life, it is condemning the man who killed her. Everything will depend on how Ai is portrayed.

Akane believes it should be her due to her past research into Ai; she can understand how Ai felt and would be able to express what she would have wanted to convey. Ruby argues it should be her since she can understand how her mother would have felt, and she should be the one responsible for taking revenge. With Ruby now fired up, she asks for the next theme. The audition continued till late at night, with Akane gradually losing heart, feeling bad for the whole situation. And since Frill has been rooting for Ruby from the very beginning, Ruby comes out on top.

With the audition over, Akane is on her way home when she runs into Aqua. She questions Aqua's plan and swears to stop him. Upon hearing this, Aqua dares her to try.
