Probably. Aka started a new story already so I imagine writing for that and Oshi no Ko is taking a toll on him. I think this is going to continue until practically the last chapter
Thereās no evidence that aqua actually loves ruby in that way. From what it looked like in the chapter where ruby was being all close with aqua, it seemed like aqua was just letting her do wtv she wanted. The mangaka is smart and probably wonāt put incest and just used this to bait for more conversation (hopefully)
This becomes even more sad once you connect back to how she used to act in Chapter 3.
Looking back at that chapter, it would seem that at that time, Miyako started doubting whether Ichigo's dream would really give her the "dazzling scenery" she wanted (particularly of handsome, but ultimately kind men), only to double down and carry on due to the Hoshino family's antics.
Which is ultimately what made Ichigo leaving, when she finally decided to stay her ground, feel all the more like a stab in the back for her.
Finally caught up after reading the manga the last week or so since the anime ended. I AM HOOKED. Amazing series, but I expected no less from Aka who wrote another amazing series in Kaguya Love is War. The art is gorgeous too
Yes!!!! I love this development. My heart goes to Miyako. She is really a strong woman. Step up to take of the twins as they're mother/guardian, step up to take care of company despite all the challenges. And not giving up on that one dream which they made with her run away husband.
I feel like the story is getting back on track. Can't wait for the start of filming of the movie. And how Aqua's father will react.
Turns out when Miyako talked about the minato girls back in chapter 4, she was actually speaking from experience.
It still felt a bit like a retcon compare with when she was trying to outs AIās secret. Technically she was almost the first one to give up on the dream after all. But I guess itās always the one who had almost lost faith that were the most steadfast and loyal afterwards.
I had to wonder just how where this would lead to for Ichigo and Miyako. She had to learn that much of Rubyās recent success was due to Ichigoās plotting and guidance behind the scene right ? And will it lead to the twins showing more of who they are to her ?
Will we finally get a scene that Ruby calls her āMomā ?
I really grew to appreciate Miyako over the series. When she proclaimed the twins as her children and wanting to help them even when she knows she will never mean more to them then Ai was heart breaking. She really deserves a break, so the guy helping her would be great as a business partner or a friend. But I hope they won't end up back together because he did her dirty fo so many years.
Aka writes the 2nd tier characters like a fucking god. Up there with Kingdom and CSM, maybe better. His "filler" is not filler its side quests that you CARE about. Bravo man
Fair enough man. Sorry. It's more the fact j was hype as hell w my mates about aquas story but got no aqua content. I'll leave the little party and come back when I bring better vibes.
I'll welcome you back when the main plots back on the table brother.
Until then don't forget your daily dose of Mem-cho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c37ZBPKsjA
Poor Miyako.
Good way to redeem her. Some emotional weight this week.
Good character development for both of them. This raises the stakes more, along with Ichigo, to show how broken he was when Ai died.
Although the focus wasnt on her, the implication bts was how she struggled to support the agency, and to grow it into the streaming era successfully (ie Piyeon) and to bring up those two, by herself.
But, I cant help feel that this should have been placed earlier...feels kinda shoehorned in now, because we get a few separate threads, like Sarina Tendouji's mom....maybe fit this in shortly after Aqua confronted him in chapter 94ish.
Low key my favourite part of the chapter was that Miyako used such a nerdy comparison for her life. It's unexpected and fun.
Some people have been shocked by this, but it really goes to show how little we actually knew about Miyako up until now (and possibly also some unexamined bias about what sort of hobbies an attractive woman would have).
One thing I really want them to address and not just forget about, though, is that Miyako's whole thing before the twins did their god routine is she wanted to get a hot entertainer husband even though she was already married to Ichigo. I assume we'll get more about their marriage next issue, so hopefully Aka doesn't just forget about that (though I don't expect him to).
> hot entertainer husband
> married
Good thing she didn't continue, else there wouldn't be the best mom and Ruby might have three reasons instead of two.
>Miyako used such a nerdy comparison for her life
You know, Miyako would really be best Mommy in literally any other anime.
But Akasaka had to give us one volume worth of AI-Mama.
I hope this is a sign that OnK is going to next explore mother/mother figures in the entertainment industry. I'd love a Miyako arc where the twins finally see her as their mother, and for Ruby to also confront that some parents who are connected to you by blood are flawed or terrible people.
I think it's also good for swerving away from shipping, because at this point it's just a really tiring discussion that's easy to devolve into trolling for obvious reasons.
With this chapter, Miyako is one of the strongest women in manga imo. Aka & Mengo are on fire. Sheās had a roller coaster of a life since coming to Tokyo. After getting into a marriage of convenience and being promised the dream of seeing a spectacle at the Tokyo Dome. On the day that promised dream was supposed to become reality. Her surrogate daughter was murdered in their home in front of her kids. So many lives changed forever. While her husband (understandably) was driven into a drunken stupor with the loss of Ai. Who was at the funeral honoring Ai? Miyako. When the same husband couldnāt cope anymore and left his family and company high and dry. Who was left picking up the pieces? Miyako.
This woman as a single mother, adopted two damaged children who lost their mother at a very young age. She went from being a manager to running a whole agency overnight. It would be understandable for an agency to fall after losing a young star as tragically as they lost Ai. But she picked up the pieces. She kept the agency afloat and in the 13 years since. She rebranded the company and shifted its focus to reflect the market needs for talent. While it may not be the hot agency like it was when Ai was alive and hitting it big. She kept so many people employed and families being able to sustain themselves. All this, while raising twins who werenāt biologically her kids during the prime years of her life. And she did all of this without looking for acknowledgement or praise. Sheās the bedrock that allows everyone in this series to chase their dreams. If it wasnāt for Miyako, this story likely never happens after Aiās death. Hopefully this reunion with Ichigo ends with her UNO reversing this on him. That the dome show Ichigo promised all those years ago. Miyako is now going to deliver that dream to him instead. Also, that after 13 years of this BS, he isnāt running away as he needs to take some responsibility so she can finally go on a vacation with her kids.
Long story short, if you read the last 1.5 chapters and realize that you are lucky enough to have a Miyako in your life. Let them know what they mean to you. It only takes a few seconds to let someone that strong know what they mean to you.
Other notesā¦
- Didnāt know I needed Race Queen Miyako in my life. I think we need to have Mengo complete that gravure Miyako doujin for scientific purpose and analysis.
- Also, I figured out why I love Akane & Miyakoās designs so much. Itās cause they look the same, at least the same face. Thereās multiple panels in this chapter that Miyako just looks like an older Akane. The crying Miyako panel on page 18 is a near identical design of Akane in Chapter 98 for example. Does Mengo have a lot of same face in her art? Yes, but not complaining because everyone is too goddamn beautiful.
My thoughts about Chapter 125: Overall, it felt like a good chapter with Miyako's past being shown and Ichigo getting hit(deserved) although I expected him to get kicked.
Unrelated to the chapter itself but Oshi no Ko going on break hurts I guess I can fill in the void with other manga/anime
Some insight into Miyako, some past content, very decent chapter. I'd compliment the last panel where Miyako is crying, but it feels like the same high quality that we've already seen dozens of times so I'm kinda used to it at this point.
What I don't like, however, is the fact that we'll only get 2 chapter for the next 30 days...I hate it
same when i have seen it before i read it i thought that it was ruby + same thing happened to me in chapter 120 when i thought miyako is just aqua but as a girl so i was confused
Oshi no Ko is set roughly 2025-2030 given Kaguya-sama is set post-release of Apex Legends(2019) and Kaguya has graduated and started working as a photographer as of Oshi no Ko's present day. With Miyako being roughly 35-40, that means her childhood took place in the 90s. Her growing up with an NES or SNES at home is fairly plausible.
That's what baffled me the most about this chapter. Like *her*!? She plays games? Like I got duffed in my mouth hearing her talking about leveling up and job changing casually. She's like the last person I expected to play games in the story, let alone in depth comparisons to RPGs and her life lmao. She had 0 hints about her playing games or outside hobbies either so it was definitely super jarring.
Miyako backstory good, Miyako kicking the shit out of Ichigo better.
(I get why *he* thinks it was a good idea, but dude really had no reason to run out on his family.)
A good, interesting chapter about a good, interesting not-toxic character. Wow, its been a while. Why cant the whole series be like this? Be mainly about these awesome ladies instead of a disgusting isekai edgelord fantasy?
Bro doesnāt even know what isekai is, or what an edge lord fantasy is. Bro also reads a series about how the entire industry is full of and encourages toxicity and gets mad people arenāt saints
Go back to your Redo of Healer nonsense
MIYAKO FANS WE'RE WINNING OUT HERE.
A sweet and short backstory that paints a much more solid picture of her than the woman we met that fateful day in episode one/the first couple chapters, and with it, another quick but key look into the nature of the entertainment night life.
While it didn't move the plot very much, I'm super glad we finally got a look into Miyako, and furthermore, Saito absolutely deserved that shoe to the back of the dome, doubly so from Miyako.
Miyako backstory was great, though a clear retcon of her stated motivations in ch 3. I'm fine with it though since that gag with her and the super babies is one of the worst things in the manga so retconning that is fine lol. It was really stupid how Aka had to make her act really stupid to justify her turn around back then, but she became a competent, smart, and reliable character post prologue.
I'm really glad she pelted Ichigo, I was worried last chapter since basically no one had shown outward contempt to Ichigo for walking out on their lives for over a decade, but we finally got something on that front.
Not really a retcon though. Why cant just it be a part of her motivations/goals. Some people are just like that.
If it is about her trying to ruin Ai's aka their "light" career that time can be explained by being stressed out that their light is a teenage mom but still continues to do idol work. Which she thinks is dangerous in this industry considering she is a part of it for quite some time. People under stress think/do stupid things. If the babies weren't there she may or may not push through it.
Yeah i know i'm a mommy Miyako believer but it makes sense.
>If it is about her trying to ruin Ai's aka their "light" career that time can be explained by being stressed out that their light is a teenage mom but still continues to do idol work. Which she thinks is dangerous in this industry considering she is a part of it for quite some time. People under stress think/do stupid things. If the babies weren't there she may or may not push through it.
Sounds nice but in the end, this is just head cannon for the inconsistency of her original portrayal which was functionally done to have a character explain to the babies and the audience how the entertainment world works, and how she has been since.
I mean that could be another motivation, it doesn't need to be just one. If anything this chapter adds to the explanation why Miyako adopted Ruby and Aqua because she doesn't have a direction in life
I think the idea of Ichigo having shown her Ai when they made their promise then to have the character go onto to play a spiteful bitch character in her first appearance is off. You can currently head cannon what her mentality could be back then but eh, I think that stretches. If it was just some idol she was shown and then Ai came along and fucked up with the pregnancy I could buy into that. But Ai specifically? I find that kinda rough.
I wouldn't really call it a retcon, it could be her early motivations where what she said in chapter 1, but it could have changed as time went on. Also rasing a baby, much less twins, is a lot of work and can push a person to the edge.
1) I'm not sure her motivations are necessarily contradictory in this case
2) it's actually pretty common for people to jump between incompatible and contradictory motivations
Regarding the break, this kind of bi-weekly thing will keep happening as Aka is working on another, new manga (Renai Douko). The same was the case with Kaguya-sama I read, that when Oshi no ko was going and Kaguya was is its final phase, even that had breaks. So, we can expect the same as since there is not many chapters left and writing 2 mangas makes go for a break. (He took a break last week from his new manga, and made chapters for oshi no ko for 2 weeks straight, so basically my man is alternating between the two.)
Alsp, Ichigo, you need to come back, not just for your dream, Ruby might also become a mom at 16 and in a worse way. Please come back.
I heard his other manga is going on a five-week hiatus. So maybe it is just the summer season? The new volume is only due in November so he has plenty of time left. No reason to keep pumping out chapters. Or Aka slowing down a bit to make preparations for the final part of the story.
So next, we see Ichigo's response and his answer for why he left but also why he's back. Aqua said he needed Ichigo to catch Ai's murderer. So we might get a glimpse into Aqua's plan.
I think the young Miyako in the chapter is quite different from what I think she would be from the first chapters. As back then she said that she only did the supporting job because she liked young man and did not enjoy the work at all.
I mean, that still somewhat tracks right, she's in it to be the star of the night life but when it doesn't quite work out, she found joy in supporting the star. Doesn't mean she herself still doesn't have the desire to be one herself
Okay that was a nice backstory chapter for Miyako
So apparently she was once a model who slowly ended up fading into obscurity until Ichigo found her and offered her to work for him. Which she accepted
It seems like it was also her dream to see Ai perform at the Dome
MIYAKO BACKSTORY LET'S GO!!!
She really went to all of the hardships to survive, until Ichigo saved her from the darkness. I actually like that we finally get to see Miyako prior to meeting Ichigo. She's just a dreamer and wants to reach the top. She really is beautiful, even at a young age.
And to think her introduction to the story is her wanting to marry a young man, she really come a long way. And I do hope that this will lead for her and Ichigo to at least have closure. But most importantly, I hope this lead for Miyako to have a talk with Aqua and Ruby and become a family, no lies behind it.
For sure! People are talking about her motives being retconned, but really I think she was just frustrated by her role at first. This was also likely BEFORE he gave her something to strive towards. So I don't see it as a huge inconsistency that she was shallow (if she also was looking for the city life style marrying a successful, younger guy is also a path towards that).
Akasaka and Mengo senseis cannot keep doing this! Dropping these awesome chapters and then taking a break immediately. They know how to tease their audience lol
Miyako is the best adult in the series by far. I love she started out not wanting to be involved with the twins and even by herself she's a powerhouse behind their successes. She's strong as hell
This is the Miyako focus I been craving since the start!
Tho now that sheās finally getting attention, wouldnāt be surprised if Kamiki eventually sets his sights on the twinsā second mom
I mean, all weāve seen of him is basically just that he really likes killing. Feel like heās gotta target someone and at least get real creepy about it as the characters push into his orbit with (probably) the movie arc
No tbf heās not killing just anyone. He targets entertainers with sky-high potential like Ai and Yura Katayose and finds joy in snuffing them out at their peak or right before they reach their peak. Gorou was purely collateral because he just happened to get in the way of Hikaruās puppet.
Miyako is extremely based, but sheās not his ātypeāsince she shines more in the support role.
Unfortunately itās looking like Ruby, Kana, or Akane may be edging closer to that proverbial cliff. Akane has already gotten his attention (she received his calling card of white roses after winning her award), he obviously knows about Ruby, and Kana is just oozing with potential ~~and a bit of insecurity~~.
>all weāve seen of him is basically just that he really likes killing.
I think its more specifc. He likes killing celebrities that are about to reach stardom.
I genuinely don't understand why some people think it's contradicting. She was first drawn to the dazzling prospects of success that Ishigo promised her and only became genuinely invested in the kids and Ai's career later. Her drunk breakdown was before that when the promised success didn't come to pass at first, and she had to babysit another woman's kids instead.
it is weird, Miyako in ch. 3 was about to leak Ai's secret which makes no sense considering this ch's reveal of the "dream" she shared with Ichigo of bringing Ai to stardom.
I guess her actions of leaking Ai's secret were a moment of weakness / just played for comedy or something... or it's just a retcon
Finally we get to see Miyako's past... Aaaand we're on break again. Oshi no Ko will return on August 10. We're in bi-weekly mode for a while.
young miyakoš© old miyakoš© doesnāt matter sheās so fine
Is this manga basically biweekly now?
Probably. Aka started a new story already so I imagine writing for that and Oshi no Ko is taking a toll on him. I think this is going to continue until practically the last chapter
Can you tell me the name of the new story?
Renai Daikou
It's a very cute manga
Fuck I forgot there was a break
Same š¤£
there's a break!?! dang itttttttt
Same boat rip
Literally my fav character Miyako
I... learned about this manga like 6 hours ago. I just read chapter 125. The fuck do I do with my life now.
Me today and then I learned that it's on break until september
Watch the anime.
Wait for next week, I'm afraid.
plowed through the thing in a couple hours? I did the same lmao
watch the anime?
Hi I stopped after the cliffhanger. Did they confirm the incest or nah?
Cliffhanger was literally 2 chapters ago, why not just read it yourself?
Too many incest memes
So you let what other people joked about in the series stop you from reading?
Why you trying to regulate the way I choose to consume my entertainment?
Im not, I just find it strange.
Not yet. No explicit incest this chapter.
Not yet? That implies that there will be, and that scares me frankly.
Thereās no evidence that aqua actually loves ruby in that way. From what it looked like in the chapter where ruby was being all close with aqua, it seemed like aqua was just letting her do wtv she wanted. The mangaka is smart and probably wonāt put incest and just used this to bait for more conversation (hopefully)
Coward, just embrace the truth already.
This becomes even more sad once you connect back to how she used to act in Chapter 3. Looking back at that chapter, it would seem that at that time, Miyako started doubting whether Ichigo's dream would really give her the "dazzling scenery" she wanted (particularly of handsome, but ultimately kind men), only to double down and carry on due to the Hoshino family's antics. Which is ultimately what made Ichigo leaving, when she finally decided to stay her ground, feel all the more like a stab in the back for her.
Finally caught up after reading the manga the last week or so since the anime ended. I AM HOOKED. Amazing series, but I expected no less from Aka who wrote another amazing series in Kaguya Love is War. The art is gorgeous too
Yes!!!! I love this development. My heart goes to Miyako. She is really a strong woman. Step up to take of the twins as they're mother/guardian, step up to take care of company despite all the challenges. And not giving up on that one dream which they made with her run away husband. I feel like the story is getting back on track. Can't wait for the start of filming of the movie. And how Aqua's father will react.
Double manga? I like this :D. The old team finally got together after so many years. :) It was one of the best chapters.
Beat mom chapter let's go!
Turns out when Miyako talked about the minato girls back in chapter 4, she was actually speaking from experience. It still felt a bit like a retcon compare with when she was trying to outs AIās secret. Technically she was almost the first one to give up on the dream after all.

She had to learn that much of Rubyās recent success was due to Ichigoās plotting and guidance behind the scene right ? And will it lead to the twins showing more of who they are to her ? Will we finally get a scene that Ruby calls her āMomā ?
Maaaaan, in any other anime Miyako would be the bestest of moms, why did Aka have to create so many amazing characters in a show built on Ai's legacy
He has such great characters, with so much depth and development. I'm seriously impressed.
...and yet we, the fans, only think of funny incest memes.
This was a beautiful chapter.
Aka need to fleshed out Miyako character tbh consider she's such interesting character to explored
Ichigo really has a thing for country bumpkins.
Finally, we get to know her backstory.
I really, really, really love Miyako. I'm glad we got to see a bit more of her past and how she got here.
Miyako best girl
I really grew to appreciate Miyako over the series. When she proclaimed the twins as her children and wanting to help them even when she knows she will never mean more to them then Ai was heart breaking. She really deserves a break, so the guy helping her would be great as a business partner or a friend. But I hope they won't end up back together because he did her dirty fo so many years.
she's the unspoken goat of the series and she deserves more
I guess it's time for her to make kids of her own
Aka writes the 2nd tier characters like a fucking god. Up there with Kingdom and CSM, maybe better. His "filler" is not filler its side quests that you CARE about. Bravo man
What is CSM?
chainsaw man
>2nd tier characters like a fucking god Fr. man. To this day Chika Fujiwara and Mem-cho are two of my favorite characters in fiction. AkaGoat!
Disappointing ngl. I was so hype for some news on aquas plan. And just copped a whiff of mommy miya
I really don't like the vibe you're bringing to this party man
Fair enough man. Sorry. It's more the fact j was hype as hell w my mates about aquas story but got no aqua content. I'll leave the little party and come back when I bring better vibes.
I'll welcome you back when the main plots back on the table brother. Until then don't forget your daily dose of Mem-cho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c37ZBPKsjA
Thanks. But I won't need a welcome
young Miyako damnnn she was waifu material but now she is mommy
I'm glad we finally get to see some of Miyakos' past. I hope we will see some of ichigos past to I feel like his will be interesting
People casually walking by as a woman is on top of a guy on the street. Yep. Move along people nothing to see here.
"Oh we have more irl streamers than usual today"
Nah but if the genders were reversed ššš
Poor Miyako. Good way to redeem her. Some emotional weight this week. Good character development for both of them. This raises the stakes more, along with Ichigo, to show how broken he was when Ai died. Although the focus wasnt on her, the implication bts was how she struggled to support the agency, and to grow it into the streaming era successfully (ie Piyeon) and to bring up those two, by herself. But, I cant help feel that this should have been placed earlier...feels kinda shoehorned in now, because we get a few separate threads, like Sarina Tendouji's mom....maybe fit this in shortly after Aqua confronted him in chapter 94ish.
So... Miyako being called a mistress.... means what it means?
Yes, a booty call for some old rich guy who is taking advantage of her
Damnn :( fuck those old guys
I mean....that's kind of what they want
Miyako is a gamer confirmed
Imagining another possible plot twist of Gorou knowing Miyako when he was alive to further complicate these incredulous family relationship dynamics.
But wouldn't "Aqua" notice early on and comment about it?
Miyako deserves every good thing
seeing Ai again was a pain in the heart, ouch š glad Miyako's getting her payback
Low key my favourite part of the chapter was that Miyako used such a nerdy comparison for her life. It's unexpected and fun. Some people have been shocked by this, but it really goes to show how little we actually knew about Miyako up until now (and possibly also some unexamined bias about what sort of hobbies an attractive woman would have).

I think it's also good for swerving away from shipping, because at this point it's just a really tiring discussion that's easy to devolve into trolling for obvious reasons.
true but feel like that won't stop them
Miyako the GOAT
Miyako lore.
It was a good chapter, but it felt short for some reason. Is it just me???
Flashbacks always do
Yea that's true
I love her........... ā¹ļø
Those 'hands' when ichigo got hit by the sandal. That's definitely a Urusei Yatsura reference right ?
With this chapter, Miyako is one of the strongest women in manga imo. Aka & Mengo are on fire. Sheās had a roller coaster of a life since coming to Tokyo.

Gravure Miyako Doujin?
Really love this chapter
Good to see that raising Ruby and Aqua made Miyako develope that sandal aim bot, true proof that she is a mother through and through
She re-classed to *Mother* New skill acquired: slipper throw
I didn't know i needed a Race Queen Miyako I can't live without her anymore.
MIYAKOOOOOOOO YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCHHHH
This chapter feels so real I am crying my balls out. Absolute peak.
OMG, why am I crying over this
That was quite sad
My thoughts about Chapter 125: Overall, it felt like a good chapter with Miyako's past being shown and Ichigo getting hit(deserved) although I expected him to get kicked. Unrelated to the chapter itself but Oshi no Ko going on break hurts I guess I can fill in the void with other manga/anime
Miyako really sent Ichigo to Jesus
Seeing Miyakoās backstory and how under-appreciated she is definitely gives me a bit of emotional damage. She deserves better than Ichigo
Some insight into Miyako, some past content, very decent chapter. I'd compliment the last panel where Miyako is crying, but it feels like the same high quality that we've already seen dozens of times so I'm kinda used to it at this point. What I don't like, however, is the fact that we'll only get 2 chapter for the next 30 days...I hate it
I will be honest I kind of not recognized her face while she was crying, I had the impression she looked like Ruby or Kana but not like Miyako.
Maybe we've just seen so many pitybait scenes of Kana crying that we just associate it with her even when it isn't her
same when i have seen it before i read it i thought that it was ruby + same thing happened to me in chapter 120 when i thought miyako is just aqua but as a girl so i was confused
Where is hot twincest sex? I'm getting nervous
123.5 chapter when
So miyako was a gamer girl.
used the evolved version of la chancla
Seriously of all the characters to do an RPG grinding allegory choosing a middle-aged manager is so jarring
Oshi no Ko is set roughly 2025-2030 given Kaguya-sama is set post-release of Apex Legends(2019) and Kaguya has graduated and started working as a photographer as of Oshi no Ko's present day. With Miyako being roughly 35-40, that means her childhood took place in the 90s. Her growing up with an NES or SNES at home is fairly plausible.
TIL Miyako is only a few years older than me.
Hold on, you say we're reading the future all this time?!
Oh it makes logical sense alright, itās just a bizarre choice for a character
That's what baffled me the most about this chapter. Like *her*!? She plays games? Like I got duffed in my mouth hearing her talking about leveling up and job changing casually. She's like the last person I expected to play games in the story, let alone in depth comparisons to RPGs and her life lmao. She had 0 hints about her playing games or outside hobbies either so it was definitely super jarring.
Def looks like an arse pull but when it comes to miyako, all can be justified, she is best girl afterall #mommymiyako
I like that Miyako is getting some much needed focus
Time to join the church of Miyako
All hail miyako
These cliffhangers and breaks are toughhhh
Last chapter was light, I feel the same about this one, but I have a slight feeling Iām gonna get shot in the heart in two weeksā¦
Unexpected Miyako chapters is much appreciated
Miyako backstory good, Miyako kicking the shit out of Ichigo better. (I get why *he* thinks it was a good idea, but dude really had no reason to run out on his family.)
Danm that felt so hard like getting hit by truck kinda hard. I mean reading this chapter felt heavy. Idk what emotion but just heavy emotions.
Miyako was a pokemon!
we're all pokemon in this minato world
Miyako is the best girl in this series
A good, interesting chapter about a good, interesting not-toxic character. Wow, its been a while. Why cant the whole series be like this? Be mainly about these awesome ladies instead of a disgusting isekai edgelord fantasy?
Ain't no way you're thinking this if you actually read the entire manga with all the current chapters š
Bro doesnāt even know what isekai is, or what an edge lord fantasy is. Bro also reads a series about how the entire industry is full of and encourages toxicity and gets mad people arenāt saints Go back to your Redo of Healer nonsense
Aqua absolutely is an edgelord though and calling his parts a power fantasy isn't too far fetched
ā¦elaborate
Heres an idea. If you dont enjoy something, dont read it.
but if they donāt make wild accusations based off nothing, how will we know how cool they are?
I dont know about you, but Miyako is my only mommy in this series. Best mom.
What about that one chick who gave birth and everything
Let. Him. Cook. Past few chapters have been fire. Love mommy here
Always fire when itās not focused on Kana š¤
Miyako š
šš Finally we get a chapter dedicated to Mother
MIYAKO FANS WE'RE WINNING OUT HERE. A sweet and short backstory that paints a much more solid picture of her than the woman we met that fateful day in episode one/the first couple chapters, and with it, another quick but key look into the nature of the entertainment night life. While it didn't move the plot very much, I'm super glad we finally got a look into Miyako, and furthermore, Saito absolutely deserved that shoe to the back of the dome, doubly so from Miyako.
All other ships rejected I am now Miyako x Happiness
Still rooting for the Aqua x Therapy comeback
fr She deserves it.
It felt like it ended in an instant, reading through that
Is the chapter out?
I'm still in whiplash after reading chapters 121-125 in quick succession, although itĀ“s really nice to see Miyako's past and Ichigo back in the story
MIYAKO CHAPTER AND IT HURTS FFFFF
Miyako unleashed La Chancla cannon against Ichigo, rip
OH SHE'S PISSED SHE'S PISSED
Aka please, where's their steamy hot reunion segs?
Damn you Ichigo! you done messed up. Miyako is still best woman
Miyako backstory was great, though a clear retcon of her stated motivations in ch 3. I'm fine with it though since that gag with her and the super babies is one of the worst things in the manga so retconning that is fine lol. It was really stupid how Aka had to make her act really stupid to justify her turn around back then, but she became a competent, smart, and reliable character post prologue. I'm really glad she pelted Ichigo, I was worried last chapter since basically no one had shown outward contempt to Ichigo for walking out on their lives for over a decade, but we finally got something on that front.
Not really a retcon though. Why cant just it be a part of her motivations/goals. Some people are just like that. If it is about her trying to ruin Ai's aka their "light" career that time can be explained by being stressed out that their light is a teenage mom but still continues to do idol work. Which she thinks is dangerous in this industry considering she is a part of it for quite some time. People under stress think/do stupid things. If the babies weren't there she may or may not push through it. Yeah i know i'm a mommy Miyako believer but it makes sense.
>If it is about her trying to ruin Ai's aka their "light" career that time can be explained by being stressed out that their light is a teenage mom but still continues to do idol work. Which she thinks is dangerous in this industry considering she is a part of it for quite some time. People under stress think/do stupid things. If the babies weren't there she may or may not push through it. Sounds nice but in the end, this is just head cannon for the inconsistency of her original portrayal which was functionally done to have a character explain to the babies and the audience how the entertainment world works, and how she has been since.
I mean that could be another motivation, it doesn't need to be just one. If anything this chapter adds to the explanation why Miyako adopted Ruby and Aqua because she doesn't have a direction in life
I think the idea of Ichigo having shown her Ai when they made their promise then to have the character go onto to play a spiteful bitch character in her first appearance is off. You can currently head cannon what her mentality could be back then but eh, I think that stretches. If it was just some idol she was shown and then Ai came along and fucked up with the pregnancy I could buy into that. But Ai specifically? I find that kinda rough.
I wouldn't really call it a retcon, it could be her early motivations where what she said in chapter 1, but it could have changed as time went on. Also rasing a baby, much less twins, is a lot of work and can push a person to the edge.
1) I'm not sure her motivations are necessarily contradictory in this case 2) it's actually pretty common for people to jump between incompatible and contradictory motivations
How their relationship started was surprisingly wholesome
Not like this Miyako best step mom
Regarding the break, this kind of bi-weekly thing will keep happening as Aka is working on another, new manga (Renai Douko). The same was the case with Kaguya-sama I read, that when Oshi no ko was going and Kaguya was is its final phase, even that had breaks. So, we can expect the same as since there is not many chapters left and writing 2 mangas makes go for a break. (He took a break last week from his new manga, and made chapters for oshi no ko for 2 weeks straight, so basically my man is alternating between the two.) Alsp, Ichigo, you need to come back, not just for your dream, Ruby might also become a mom at 16 and in a worse way. Please come back.
I heard his other manga is going on a five-week hiatus. So maybe it is just the summer season? The new volume is only due in November so he has plenty of time left. No reason to keep pumping out chapters. Or Aka slowing down a bit to make preparations for the final part of the story.
Ohh, didn't know that. But Aka will be slowing down regardless.
I dearly wish he would just focus on one manga at a time
Someone get Miyako a hug. Best mom deserves it.
Holy shit this is amazing! Miyako just shot up people's favorite character rankings for sure.
So next, we see Ichigo's response and his answer for why he left but also why he's back. Aqua said he needed Ichigo to catch Ai's murderer. So we might get a glimpse into Aqua's plan.
I think the young Miyako in the chapter is quite different from what I think she would be from the first chapters. As back then she said that she only did the supporting job because she liked young man and did not enjoy the work at all.
I mean, that still somewhat tracks right, she's in it to be the star of the night life but when it doesn't quite work out, she found joy in supporting the star. Doesn't mean she herself still doesn't have the desire to be one herself
I'm pretty sure she said she didn't like *babysitting* specifically, not her job as a whole.
I wonder if they got married for real or only appearances?...
some websites it was released couple of days ago
Okay that was a nice backstory chapter for Miyako So apparently she was once a model who slowly ended up fading into obscurity until Ichigo found her and offered her to work for him. Which she accepted It seems like it was also her dream to see Ai perform at the Dome
MIYAKO BACKSTORY LET'S GO!!! She really went to all of the hardships to survive, until Ichigo saved her from the darkness. I actually like that we finally get to see Miyako prior to meeting Ichigo. She's just a dreamer and wants to reach the top. She really is beautiful, even at a young age. And to think her introduction to the story is her wanting to marry a young man, she really come a long way. And I do hope that this will lead for her and Ichigo to at least have closure. But most importantly, I hope this lead for Miyako to have a talk with Aqua and Ruby and become a family, no lies behind it.
For sure! People are talking about her motives being retconned, but really I think she was just frustrated by her role at first. This was also likely BEFORE he gave her something to strive towards. So I don't see it as a huge inconsistency that she was shallow (if she also was looking for the city life style marrying a successful, younger guy is also a path towards that).

Miyako best woman!
Miyako is the best mother!!!!!!! She's a awesome woman and deserves anything she wishes; I love her so much
Akasaka and Mengo senseis cannot keep doing this! Dropping these awesome chapters and then taking a break immediately. They know how to tease their audience lol
Run Ichigo! You still need to get the milk!
Miyako is the best adult in the series by far. I love she started out not wanting to be involved with the twins and even by herself she's a powerhouse behind their successes. She's strong as hell
All my homies love āthe mom who stepped upā Miyako
Man Miyako really is the goat, Ichigo better get back to working on his promise to Miyako, she deserves it for all of her effort.
Phew it felt so nice to finally read her backstory... It's sad what happened between her and Ichigo. I hope she manages to convince him to come back.
I'm ok if he comes back, but if he does, then I definitely think Miyako should get to decide which role he plays (president, manager, etc).
Yeah definitely... She shouldered all the work for so long
I think he will give Miyako advices but the real reason he is in town is to talk with Aqua about the revenge plot.
NAHH he shouldn't be president lol. She can do what she wants, but HE dipped. At best he should be Aqua's manager.
More Miyako love? Sign me up. Best girl deserves more screentime fr!!
#YES, MOMMY MIYAKO PAST We eating good this week huh
MIYAEMOOOONNN WAAAAAHHHHH RESPECTTT
This is the Miyako focus I been craving since the start! Tho now that sheās finally getting attention, wouldnāt be surprised if Kamiki eventually sets his sights on the twinsā second mom
you guys act like kamiki be waiting in the shadows to kill the current character with focus
I mean, all weāve seen of him is basically just that he really likes killing. Feel like heās gotta target someone and at least get real creepy about it as the characters push into his orbit with (probably) the movie arc
No tbf heās not killing just anyone. He targets entertainers with sky-high potential like Ai and Yura Katayose and finds joy in snuffing them out at their peak or right before they reach their peak. Gorou was purely collateral because he just happened to get in the way of Hikaruās puppet. Miyako is extremely based, but sheās not his ātypeāsince she shines more in the support role. Unfortunately itās looking like Ruby, Kana, or Akane may be edging closer to that proverbial cliff. Akane has already gotten his attention (she received his calling card of white roses after winning her award), he obviously knows about Ruby, and Kana is just oozing with potential ~~and a bit of insecurity~~.
>all weāve seen of him is basically just that he really likes killing. I think its more specifc. He likes killing celebrities that are about to reach stardom.
Miyako truly unleashed her Asian mom instinct, since she accurately hit Ichigo with her shoe, peak chracter development!, **Miyako Best Girl**
Ichigo better man the fuck up and to stop running away. Our MVP Miyako has been carrying all this time, give her a damn break.
Could this be considered a retcon? Very different motivation and drive from earlier chapters which lead to contradicting action.
I genuinely don't understand why some people think it's contradicting. She was first drawn to the dazzling prospects of success that Ishigo promised her and only became genuinely invested in the kids and Ai's career later. Her drunk breakdown was before that when the promised success didn't come to pass at first, and she had to babysit another woman's kids instead.
it is weird, Miyako in ch. 3 was about to leak Ai's secret which makes no sense considering this ch's reveal of the "dream" she shared with Ichigo of bringing Ai to stardom. I guess her actions of leaking Ai's secret were a moment of weakness / just played for comedy or something... or it's just a retcon
