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 a call from a charity reporter who wishes to recruit Ruby for their project. However, while Miyako claims that she will check Ruby's schedule, she 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 refuses to elaborate when she asks as to why beyond that something happened between them in the past. In addition, Miyako is worried about the future of B-Komachi, as Kana will be leaving the group soon, and wonders what she should do for Ruby, both as her manager and mother, before asking herself what Ichigo would have done.

Later that night, Miyako goes to eat at a bar that she frequents and the bartender suggests she should look after herself more before asking about the Aqua and Ruby. When Miyako answers that Shun is helping to look after them, the bartender suggests that she should take care of her children herself. However, Miyako responds that they never show their true faces to her and that she is not their biological mother before breaking 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, though, Ichigo walks in, being another frequenter of the bar, leaving both him and Miyako in shock upon seeing each other.
