Chapter 124

Reversal (反転) is the one-hundred twenty-fourth chapter of Oshi no Ko manga series. It is written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari.

Summary
Aqua and Ruby have become closer than ever after learning of each others' true identities, disturbing Kana and Mem-Cho. While Kana demands Ruby stop being so clingy with Aqua, the former claims they have always been like this while the latter says that it is fine. Kana continues arguing until Mem-Cho starts taking pictures of the twins, finding them to be cute together, much to the former's annoyance.

Walking home together, Kana continues to be disturbed so Mem-Cho switches the topic to Ruby's tight schedule. While Kana admits that Aqua can help with her mental health, she also believes that something must be done about how packed Ruby is lest she might collapse. Mem-Cho notes that Ai faced a similar scheduling dilemma but Ichigo dealt with it, causing her to believe that Miyako must be facing a similar issue right now.

Meanwhile, Miyako gets another recruitment call for Ruby but is reluctant to overwork her adoptive daughter any more, especially since Masaya told her to free up rehearsal time for the 15 Year Lie. She was also tasked by Aqua to keep Ruby away from Marina, though he refused to elaborate why. In addition, Miyako is worried about the future of B-Komachi, as Kana will be leaving the group soon, and wonders what she can do for Ruby, both as her manager and her mother, before asking herself what Ichigo would have done.

Later that night, Miyako goes to a bar that she frequents and confides in the bartender, who suggests she should look after herself and her children more. However, Miyako responds that they never show their true faces to her, which she believes is because she is not their biological mother. She then breaks down, ranting about how she wants to look out for them but does not have anyone reliable to pass her responsibilities as president of Strawberry Productions onto. Just then, however, Ichigo walks in, being another frequenter of the bar, leaving both him and Miyako in shock upon seeing each other.
