Oshi no Ko – Aqua and Ruby's Ship sparks discussion among otakus

Check it out:

For those who aren't up to speed, in chapter 122 of the manga , the illustrator of Act-Age drew a fanart of Aqua and Ruby , sharing it with the phrase "genius." Thus, chapter 123 of the manga came out in which Ruby makes a declaration to Aqua, leaving fans thinking. We'll only learn about 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, like an erotic manga.”
  • “I don't think the original author thought that deeply about it.”
  • “I'm starting to get nervous.”
  • "Besides, Aqua likes baking soda, so Ruby doesn't stand a chance, right? Has there been a recent scene where Aqua started liking Ruby?"
  • “Ruby is the clear winner! Where does anyone see otherwise?”
  • “I have a feeling Akane is going to get stabbed.”
  • "Even if 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 are going down the worst path of bad ending where they both end up unhappy, right?”
  • “It would be sad if Aqua and Kana got together and Ruby got separated from the professor, so the three of them should live together in harmony.”
  • “Foreigners are very strict about incest”
  • “If you are 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 shows up at his office, claiming she's pregnant with twins, but her manager tells her to abort the babies. The idol doesn't want to abort; she wants both children. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure will result in his untimely death, or so he thought. However, upon opening his eyes in his beloved idol's arms, Gorou discovers he's 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.

Therefore, Akasaka and Yokoyari started the manga in Shueisha 's Salto Jovem in 2020. Furthermore, the manga surpassed more than 9 million copies in circulation in May of this year.
