My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

A discussion has been causing controversy on social media because some Japanese otaku support the Aqua and Ruby ship . The controversy gained momentum after chapter 123 was released in Japan, where numerous comments have been made by the Japanese audience.

Oshi no Ko – Ship of Aqua and Ruby sparks discussion among otaku

Check it out:

For those unfamiliar with the context, in chapter 122 of the manga , the illustrator of Act-Age drew fan art of Aqua and Ruby , which she shared, calling it "genius." Following this, chapter 123 of the manga was released, in which Ruby makes a declaration to Aqua, leaving fans intrigued. We'll only know the details of this declaration in the next chapter, which has been delayed by two weeks in Japan.

Check out the comments:

  • "I haven't read the manga, but this scene is so moving."
  • "This is so hilarious, it looks like an erotic manga."
  • "I don't think the original author thought about it that deeply."
  • "I'm starting to get nervous."
  • "Besides, Aqua likes baking soda, so Ruby doesn't stand a chance, right? Was there any recent scene where Aqua started to like Ruby?"
  • "Ruby is the absolute winner! Where does anyone see otherwise?"
  • "I have a feeling Akane is going to be stabbed."
  • "Even if the revenge is successful, if Aqua sacrifices herself, Ruby's mental health will be ruined, won't it?"
  • "They both revealed their pasts to each other and now they're following the worst possible path to a bad ending, where they're both unhappy, right?"
  • "It would be sad if Aqua and Kana got together and Ruby separated from the professor, so the three of them should live together in harmony."
  • "Foreigners are very strict about incest."
  • "If you're upset, reincarnate."
  • "If you don't like it, abandon Japanese culture."

Synopsis:

The story follows a doctor named Gorou , a fan of a 16-year-old idol Ai Hoshino . One day, Hoshino appears at his office, claiming to be pregnant with twins, but her manager tells her to abort the babies. However, the idol refuses to abort; she wants to have both children. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure will result in his premature death, or so he thought. However, upon opening his eyes in the arms of his beloved idol, Gorou discovers he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino, 's newborn son ! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon discovers that the world of showbiz is full of controversies, where talent doesn't always bring success.
