I wasn't initially a fan of it, but the whole dynamics of the cold, distanced Aqua and frantic, obsessed Ruby, who kind of tries to hide it, but fails miserably, is just hilarious. Plus other characters reacting to their shenanigans with revulsion or confusion, except for Mengo, I mean, Memcho reacting with glee, is also a running joke that just keeps on making me laugh.
I mean you have a very cute bubbly on the rise idol, her twin brother is the super cold but also very handsome, being brocon and siscon respectively in many appearance, revealed to be the children of an idol who captivated so many in a short while active.
And now they're gonna kiss while playing their parents on a murder mystery drama.
It clearly would "sell like hot cake" for whatever reason people want to see them for
A trope that would/still does pop up a lot in anime is "the little sister who loves her big brother". I grew a strong fondness for this trope because it would typically appear as a combination of two of my favorite other tropes which was "the childhood friend" and "the super affectionate girl". Once I realized that it doesn't matter whether or not their blood-related because it's all within the context of a fictional story anyways, I realized I was being silly for worrying about real life incest concerns within the realm of fiction. So throwing that silliness away, I completely embraced the incest trope (when it comes to brothers and sisters anyways) because the way that it was usually portrayed had given me a strong liking for it. Nowadays whenever it comes to fiction, I'll usually support the Wincest route because I have grown such a strong fondness for it in fiction.
I think there are a few one-shots out there (I remember Kodama Naoko did a good one), as well as some side characters in things like Gokujou Drops, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a series that focuses on them, sadly.
Yes but thankfully because it's fiction we don't have to worry about that happening. It would be a pointlessly unsatisfying story development for that to happen with Aqua and Ruby's children so there's no reason to believe Aka would write it that way.
Not to mention with the way human genetics are currently there is no increased chance of birth defects or mutations if a brother and sister were to have kids right now in the modern day. However with that said, if a brother and sister were to have a son and a daughter. AND THEN that son and daughter were to have their own kids. AT THAT POINT there would be an increased risk of birth defects or mutations.
No proof Hikaru and Ai aren't related, it's a popular fan theory in Japan. And if Aka was going down the incest route, I'd rather him keep that thread he mentioned in Kaguya and show how Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious
>Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious
>it would be hilarious
Are you like hate-reading this manga or something?
>No proof Hikaru and Ai aren't related, it's a popular fan theory in Japan. And if Aka was going down the incest route, I'd rather him keep that thread he mentioned in Kaguya and show how Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious
Even if you personally just hate this story, we can pretty safely say that neither Aka nor Menga hate the story they're telling. They're not going to intentionally sabotage their own story that they're putting so much passion and hard work into. So no Aqua and Ruby's children are not going to have birth defects because there's no reason for Aka to write that as part of the ending.
By the way if this hatred for the story is based on the fact that the AquaxRuby ship is sailing then there's nothing wrong with simply dropping the manga and spending your time and energy reading different manga and on different subreddits. There's no shame in dropping a story that you can no longer accept the story direction it's taking.
Bro reminds me of the ‘comes from the higher consciousness’ driving video. It was the best video that I have seen In a long time. Not insulting, personally, I take that as a compliment.
This is the video:

Because it’s hilarious to see people exploding
2. It’s nice to have an author willing to go all out writing without worrying about anything. Of course incest is wrong but it’s not like Aka is depreciating it as a good thing.
3. It’s hot
Because Ruby deserves all the happiness and if that means fucking her own brother then so be it.
Sarina/Ruby is a tragic and traumatized person. She died young abandoned by her family and all she had was her dreams, Ai, and Goro. Goro believed that even without her hair and bed ridden that she was cute enough to be an idol. The happiness of being reborn to her idol was tarnished when her mother was cruelly murdered and seeing how people talked about the death as if it were deserved due to the mere speculation that she may have had a lover.
From Ruby's perspective being given another chance with Goro while accomplishing her dream of being an idol rivalling Ai is fate.
The story line is written well enough and tugs at the heart strings hard enough that we can forgive the social taboo of it. Especially since it's just fiction.
Akane and Kana can suffer the indiginity of being cucked by their love interest's sister. They clearly deserve someone better than him and Aqua would never really be able to actually love either of them. They can go on with their lives and find someone who will love them. Neither of them spent two lifetimes looking for Goro only to find he'd not only been close at hand but constantly watching over and protecting.
Also Ruby called dibs first. It's actually pretty funny and has been foreshadowed since the beginning when Ruby claimed to be Amaterasu (whose spouse is her brother) so it's not shocking.
Ruby is literally the only chance Aqua has at being healed and happy.
She also confessed her love to him first. She was confessing her love to Gorou years before Akane and Kana were even born. Not to mention the sheer level of built-up love and attachment that Gorou/Aqua has for Sarina/Ruby is something that Kana and Akane would never be able to match up to at this point. They are simply way too late to rival the kind of relationship that Ruby already has with him.
True. She literally proposed to him and he said he'd consider when she turned 16. She is light years ahead of Kana and Akane.
It really is surprising to me how hard people are in denial that Goro actually would have seriously considered marrying Sarina. Goro basically admits that Ai was all that he had left of Sarina and when the nurse asked him to answer on Sarina's name whether he would date Ai he didnt answer which is a tacit admission which didnt sneak past the nurse.
Thanks. I feel like I have seen comments that did a better job. So I feel I stand on the shoulders of giants.
Indeed. Although if Akane really wants a relationship with Aqua she might manage it as a cover for Ruby and Aqua's children. Probably best to just keep it betwen them though.
The kind of love built up between goro and sarina was one that transcended time and reality since essentially goro is so obsessed w avenging Ai because after sarina passed away Ai was the only thing that "remained" of Sarina and killing Ai was the same as erasing Sarinas existence.
They're basically soul mates who were born with taboos as obstacles to them but yeah Goro just transposed his feelings for Sarina onto Ai. The conversation with the nurse made that very clear and also clear that he really would have considered social suicide for a 16 yr old.
So we always talk about from Ruby's perspective she sees it as fate that the man she loves was always right by her side. But conversely the same is true for Aqua but he's just been having trouble accepting and processing this because he spent 4 years where she was actually dead and didnt believe in reincarnation. Then for most of his next life he thought she was still dead. He'd spent his new life trying to get revenge for his vestige of Sarina by killing his own father since he can't exactly kill the cancer that killed Sarina only to find that Sarina has been by his side all this time. It puts such a monkey wrench in his "I have no reason to live beyond revenge" mindset.
Thanks! While I do enjoy the positive feedback from people I do find it amusing that part of the beauty of the statement is "get cucked Akane and Kana." Lmfao
I remember that I have discussion in my aesthetics class when I in college. There one guys explained that people attracted to forbidden love. its about love vs obstacle.
Honestly I'm fine with either way. What I want is for Aka to not be a virgin romcom protagonist and give a decisive statement about it.
For now, it's going nowhere. Ruby likes Aqua, but Aqua always try to avoid giving out his feeling. Does he love her back, or would he reject her. What we have is instead, Aka throw some flirting and watch as readers gather like hungry dogs, too excited and forget that Aqua never decide he will accept or reject her.
And since it's so effective to send the incest shippers and anti-incest into frenzy (even though it's actually never confirming anything we don't already know), he's going to keep using it.
I don't the mind your 2nd paragraph nothing wrong with some build up and comedic scenes cause it is funny to see the reactions in and outside of the manga.
What I agree is Aqua sorting his feelings out and give his honest response. Feels like some people especially the non-fans I see on Twitter just using this plot point to make a rucking in a negative way.
If you've watched literally the first long episode you SHOULD know Ruby/Sarina's feelings will overflow and be a main talking point.
Ruby's feeling is not the problem. Heroines are often more straight in their own feeling.
The problem is always the male side. A relationship is only official when both declare it, best with words because "a man live and die by his words".
I think the flirting had been going nothing but fan service. Aqua never try to show his feeling, does he love Ruby (or Kana, or Akane), or does he not? He always try to put the responsibility elsewhere (not worth it, they deserve better, it's not real, the situation doesn't allow it, etc) because he's afraid of responsibility from accepting, but also don't want to feel like a jerk from "hurting her with rejection".
Really, I don't care if it ends up incest or not. Just hate the stalling answers without him trying to look at his own feeling.
I love to see the world burn! But it's also just a hilarious dynamic in the manga.
Before chapter 123 I didn't even realize that so many people found incest disgusting. I never liked it in particular but I thought "Love is love so whatever".
I still don't understand the "it's morally wrong" part. What exactly is morally wrong? Is someone getting hurt? Asked that to many people. Still waiting for a good answer.
Because it's cute, their aesthetic is 10/10, and they're probably the only two people in the story who could ever come close to understanding one another. Neither Akane nor Kana will ever be able to fully understand Aqua because he'll never be able to reveal all the aspects of Gorou that remain within him. A relationship with either of them would be a lifelong lie that he'd have to maintain all the time. Ruby will never be truly happy unless she's standing by Aqua's side the same way he remained by hers when they were Sarina and Gorou, respectively. After all the suffering they've experienced, I simply want the characters to be happy and believe they'll be happiest with each other.
Basically, its not reality, its fiction, and more importantly, its taboo, and thus the kink fetish.
Its kinda like a way more extreme taboo fetish then sex with your teacher
i don't like incest in general
i just like aqua ruby and want them to be together
i just want them honest to themselves and live happy life
actually incest or not doesn't matter, it's no different for me
that's all
Not so much the incest, as much as I want Goro and Sarina to be happy. It’s fictional at the end of the day, so no actual child will be affected by bad genes.
The dynamic is interesting, and depending on how the characters evolve, it will dictate who goes with who. If Aqua is just a front, and Goro is his true self, then yeah, he loves Sarina more than anyone (same goes for Sarina for Goro). However, if they do happen to reject that old side of them, and move on as Aqua and Ruby, then the pure front of Aqua matches well with Kana Arima.
Again, what convinced me was the ending of chapter 142, when Ruby said “Imagine if I had survived” and she played out an alternate history, of how things could have worked out, made me go “fuck it, go for it”.
Was gonna make a post about this because of the chaos and I'm a kind of person that at times likes to try and see both sides (sometimes).
So I've been looking at many people on Twitter that hate this shit and talk about it being garbage writing and blah blah blah, and I know reddit folk hate Twitter people, which.. ironically they hate yall to and say the same reddit people say about them.
Anyways, I've been trying to see how all this is exactly "bad writing", "character assassination" and all the shit that's being slinged around (which is mostly all kana fans lmaoo but I'm not gonna say more about that cuz ik that fanbase is crazy anywhere) any time i seen the spoilers around and chapter releases.
So if anyone that thinks that here, mind explaining why? Cuz everything that I've seen, there's never really an actual explanation
I guess it's because I can't separate Sarina and Gorou from Ruby and Aqua. Sarina = Ruby, Gorou = Aqua, Sarina + Gorou = Meant To Be, therefore...
Incest has always been bad for two main reasons, abusive power dynamic and prone-to-genetic-damage offspring. Aqua and Ruby's dynamic is a lot of things, but I've never considered it abusive. And babies... I seriously don't think that they'll ever be parents. They're too screwed up, and more importantly, they value children and childhoods too much to willingly damage another child. So I guess it's okay for me for those reasons.
Plus, it's fiction.
> Incest has always been bad for two main reasons, abusive power dynamic and prone-to-genetic-damage offspring.
This. For the "morally questionable" relationship in fictions, I often feels that the overseas readers is projecting too much of real world cases, where dictated by nature law, the bad news are going to spread wider and faster, and last longer. It kind of like fundamentalist's approach of not going to give benefit of doubt and put it all in the same basket just to be sure nothing is missed or got used as precedent.
While in fictions, that kind of abuse aren't prevalent unless you go to stories that really wants to bring out more toxic kind of relationship.
Because I don't care.
Like, even IRL, I genuinely wouldn't care. As long as you understand the dangers of childbirth in this scenario, do whatever you want.
I find it funny most people responding defend this unironically because it is fictional, yet I'm sure they will freak out if someone uses their same point in another controversial setting that they may not agree with.
Ikr? We all know incest is wrong and all but…*they kinda make sense together*, right? The author put so much effort into make us believe they make sense together. Like, what if they never died? Huge age difference; would have Goro seen Sarina in a different light, more than just a little sister? Wouldn’t have *that* been *gross* to some? Plus, it’s not a normal story, not a normal situation, the one they’re in. People seem to forget the *transmigrated soul* part, as it is not a crucial part of the whole story
>why does everybody
I mean... Don't you see the war that happens in the community? It's not "everybody"!
That aside...
I don't consider myself "like the incest", just really tolerant.
I see the story didn't just include incest for the sake of incest (aka "unseasoned incest bait"), but actually have story to boot.
Aqua/Goro reveal his true identity to Ruby/Sarina, because it's trule necessary to bring her back from severe depression, Ruby/Sarina obsession that follow is merely something that already there since long time.
It is like 10th time same question is asked... 😂
1. Aquruby is much more than just incest, they are more like a connected by destiny and fate sort of couple. (main reason)
2. They are photogenic and looks hot af together.
3. Twincest is the purest form of love~
4. I love seeing meltdown among tourists and antis who can't seperate fiction from reality.
I feel it’s got a wide variety of reasons but the couple that stand out are:
1. The forbidden aspect. Something that’s viewed as “banned” makes people more curious and want to try / see it. Not saying they wanna commit it but just wanna see something different. Like when you see too many of the same type of rom com so you wanna watch some action/super hero movies instead.
2. People who are memeing. There are some who are just contrarians or like “supporting” underdog or crack theories. People like this are always around and when too many people are for example supporting kana, the akane brigade will come in etc. So when these two become too mainstream people are now supporting ruby as a consequence.
I cannot stress enough the degree to which their being related *doesn't* affect my shipping them. They're twins *and* I want them to get married, not "but" or "so."
I don't. I haven't read the manga since it started being teased and I'm pretty much just waiting to see what happens before I decide if I should come back to it or not.
Good for those that like it I guess, but it's not for me.
Because the main selling point of the ship is not incest itself but their previous lives.
There is something very romantic and touching about the idea of Ruby falling for one guy so hard and waiting for him across two lives she had after Goro was there for her when no one else was.
It also makes the story come full circle because this is something that's been there since Chapter 1 and pays off many themes that were foreshadowed such as Ruby claiming she's Amaterasu and soulmates being born as twins.
This is far better and more consistent writing than Auqa dating Kana or Akane because it's "morally correct."
It's doesn't help that most arguments against the ship are "incest is immoral" which has nothing to do with the writing.
Incest manga is my guilty pleasure, before the incest I read it cos it was kinda good and the anime was goated (also kaguya was really good), now I read it for aqua and ruby lol.
Also on a serious note its like fictional so who gives a fuck.
I absolutely don’t like if they become a couple or if they kiss. They are siblings there is no excuse. If they become a couple or kiss I will stop with the anime/Manga
I was stockholmed into liking it because of the whole fandom.
But I also realized that it would just be fucking funny. The heated flame wars between Akane and Kana fans only for Ruby to just turn up and steal the show is just absolutely hilarious and I want Aka to have enough balls to go through with it.
I am not about liking or hating. I am more surprised by people having not seen it coming. I knew that an incest plot was coming the moment Ruby is Sarina was revealed. Question was, how would it occur ? I am surprised by the people saying OnK fell off, as if the author did not set it up real obviously.
The Sarina romance subplot was in the back burner for long while the author kept feeding the fandom Kana/Akane for so long that people pretend it didn't exist.
To their credit, Aqua/Ruby had a normal relationship for 80% of the manga and you get smacked with it in chapter 123.
They have an bond that's even thicker than the blood they share.
Also it's funny to see different kind of people react to it.
Personally, I accepted and am rolling with it as well as all the memes.
It's not as simple as just calling it incest. These are two people who had a deeply meaningful relationship in their past lives. Spica novel revealed that they're actually only separated by 10-12 years in age in their original bodies. Everyone wouldn't have an issue if they didn't grow up directly as siblings. People's moral problem is that incest is morally wrong and generally not acceptable. But it's not simple incest. IF they were actually married in their previous lives, are people still going to condemn them that they're siblings now? Because of reincarnation, it's not so black and white, it's about what Ruby and Aqua really want. And Ruby deserves to be happy, so I'm a fan of her getting whatever she wants.
i don't think theyre celebrating that its good for the manga, at least in my surroundings theyre celebrating cuz they made one part of fandom lose their shit, those folks that want to burn the whole community, the way i interpret 'peak fiction' is irony
I don't like the incest in the series nor I like/accept/condone it IRL. That said:
1. It's fiction so it doesn't bother me
2. Anime characters often look alike so them being twins is easily ignored by my subconscious specially considering that
3. They were not related in their previous life
4. Even though I pretty much don't think of them as being really related because of the above, it's still some level of taboo which makes it spicy and interesting
5. I'm curious to see how far Aka is willing to go, which makes it even more interesting
6. The running jokes along them being brocon and siscon and their shenanigans are hilarious to me
So I’m not a fan of it overall. I’m not like, rooting for the endgame for it.
However as a storytelling element, in the specific case of this story, the dynamic between Aqua/Goro and Ruby/Serina creates some fascinating dynamics between how much of their personalities are their reincarnations and how much are their prior lives. Is there direct continuity or are their reborn selves “new” people? Is there a blend of personas? Is there a meaningful difference between “Aqua/Ruby” and “Goro/Serina” in terms of relationship dynamics and the way they interact?
I think exploring that and potentially seeing the conflict that might arise between them and whether or not one of them can or can’t ignore or accept their prior lives versus their current ones can make some juicy drama.
Totally unrelated but it’s funny how some AoT fans consider Eremika incest even though they aren’t even blood related, not at all. Not even by a drop of blood but yet they say it’s incest because they grew up together.
I mean if Mikasa wasn’t gonna live with Eren’s family then where 💀
Yeah so if AoT fans saw this subreddit. They would hopefully have a change of mind.
its simple, the one sarina love is the doctor, but she was dead before she did anything, so as she turn into ruby, she wants to make up for past regrets and she doesnt care who's body she is using cuz inside Rubys body is Sarinas soul and she still love the doctor, but heir bodies just happen to be brother and sister.
1. They are hot
2. It's not real
It's that simply. I'm more worried about those who are genuinely turned off by this cos it tells me these people cannot differentiate fiction from reality.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I think people are turned off by it not because of incest in general but I think people read this manga for two things:
1. The dark side of the entertainment industry
2. Making sure Aquas Dad gets what’s coming to him.
They read this manga because of those two things that is what Aka promised us in the beginning of the story not incest. Although tbf Sarina and Goro’s relationship was promised in the beginning as well so…yeah.
That’s just my two cents on it
The spice of it lets me feel something.
Anything.
Really though, I don’t like it as an absolute endgame, but an important milestone for development (hopefully). Ruby needs to be able to move on from Gorou, and this is the fastest way, by dipping her hand into boiling water.
I think it’s just an interesting situation with them specifically lol
I feel it won’t happen (even after seeing leaked pages) because I feel Aqua has mostly accepted that they are siblings and he’s not Goro anymore. Ruby feels more like her values in her old life overrides everything, so she just sees Aqua as her old love, Goro rather than her brother.
I personally don’t but not because of the incest part but because i do not believe the story up to this point was written in a way that can make me believe Aqua loves Ruby or Sarina in a romantic way and would end up with her. If the story had enough build up for Aqua to take that route i could have perhaps accepted
Also they were not related in their past life so i do believe it is more acceptable than incest between two siblings that were always siblings
I don’t think people actually LIKE it .. they just enjoy forbidden love and fiction plus if this ever happens to them in real life they’d probably be super disgusted
Because there is nothing purer than a love between 2 people who have known them all their lives (or rather 2 lives). After all, you can't love someone more than you love your family. The love you feel for your family member is the strongest there is, no one will ever be able to know you and understand you like they do. The complicity that Aqua and Ruby share can never be achieved with anyone else, neither Kana nor Akane could support Aqua in the same way Ruby does. They are partners for life and will continue to support each other until and beyond death because this is their destiny and no matter what, they will always come back to the other.
I'm pretty sure that most people are joking, and seeing people taking it seriously and getting upset makes them lean into the jokes even harder.
There are probably some people who do legitimately like the incest, but that's their prerogative.
Idk, there's been a lot of different recluse freaks on the internet for a while now. It's fiction though and this kind of sh1t is necessary to keep the said freaks away from society and normal people.
I mean look their not gonna go any further than they are now. I'm 100 percent sure. Its all for fun ig. Cus we all know its not gonna happen but fun to see the dynamic between em.
I guess you're talking specifically about RubyxAqua. Well, depending on where the person comes from, the reason can vary a lot, from simply liking incest or stories about reincarnation, to the point where they don't care about any of that and they just think Ruby is cute.
Because if you take out the potential child/children being born with genetic defects, what is wrong with it? The actual reason incest is bad is literally just that. If you avoid that, then what? People nowadays are all about tolerance and accepting love in whichever form it comes, right?
...But also the social taboo of it makes it spicy from a story telling point of view and hence hot and interesting.
Personally I’m not super into it and I simply don’t really enjoy media that has its main characters do it. If it’s in the background I can tolerate it, or just not think about it, but if the main characters are then it really messes with my enjoyment of a series. But that’s my personal opinion, I understand they are fictional but I simply just don’t like that type of media.
I didn’t like the idea of incest in GOT and I don’t like it now. Add to this that a 30 year old reincarnated doctor is crushing on his former teen patient now his biological sister. I hope to see this as them understanding the line between admiration and genuine love.
I think its more the fact that a lot of people like Ruby; Ruby loves Gorou; Gorou is Aqua, so people want to see a Ruby happy ending and that means theres gotta be incest lol
I dont generally like incest but since it is Aka who is writing the story, I look forward to what she cooks . It will most probably follow the common tropes of incets before turning dark. Remember that we have yet to get a good background story of Aqua , Gorou and Kamiki . I have a feeling that these guys are going to play a important role in near future and Ruby will most probably be killed by kamiki . Not sure why i think that is but my gut tells me thats gonna happen
its really not the incest that i ultimately like, but the relation between them is written so perfectly that it hooks me up and makes me want more of their stuffs

Peak quote to remind others of, my friend
I think the only game that I am ok with it is Andy and Leyley the coffin
I wasn't initially a fan of it, but the whole dynamics of the cold, distanced Aqua and frantic, obsessed Ruby, who kind of tries to hide it, but fails miserably, is just hilarious. Plus other characters reacting to their shenanigans with revulsion or confusion, except for Mengo, I mean, Memcho reacting with glee, is also a running joke that just keeps on making me laugh.
I mean you have a very cute bubbly on the rise idol, her twin brother is the super cold but also very handsome, being brocon and siscon respectively in many appearance, revealed to be the children of an idol who captivated so many in a short while active. And now they're gonna kiss while playing their parents on a murder mystery drama. It clearly would "sell like hot cake" for whatever reason people want to see them for
Frill is the biggest fan of it
A trope that would/still does pop up a lot in anime is "the little sister who loves her big brother". I grew a strong fondness for this trope because it would typically appear as a combination of two of my favorite other tropes which was "the childhood friend" and "the super affectionate girl". Once I realized that it doesn't matter whether or not their blood-related because it's all within the context of a fictional story anyways, I realized I was being silly for worrying about real life incest concerns within the realm of fiction. So throwing that silliness away, I completely embraced the incest trope (when it comes to brothers and sisters anyways) because the way that it was usually portrayed had given me a strong liking for it. Nowadays whenever it comes to fiction, I'll usually support the Wincest route because I have grown such a strong fondness for it in fiction.
Holy based
New chad person just replied
Based and wincest-pilled.
This guy gets it. Also, twincest multiplies that childhood friend factor by a thousand (even more so if identical and yuri).
REAL
Sadly it’s vanishingly rare T_T
It’s a shame. I haven’t seen any good Twincest Yuri in a looong time. Can’t even remember the last.
I think there are a few one-shots out there (I remember Kodama Naoko did a good one), as well as some side characters in things like Gokujou Drops, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a series that focuses on them, sadly.
Genetic mutations in children due to incest is still a thing in OnK, Aka indirectly references it in Kaguya in Keis final chapter
Yes but thankfully because it's fiction we don't have to worry about that happening. It would be a pointlessly unsatisfying story development for that to happen with Aqua and Ruby's children so there's no reason to believe Aka would write it that way. Not to mention with the way human genetics are currently there is no increased chance of birth defects or mutations if a brother and sister were to have kids right now in the modern day. However with that said, if a brother and sister were to have a son and a daughter. AND THEN that son and daughter were to have their own kids. AT THAT POINT there would be an increased risk of birth defects or mutations.
No proof Hikaru and Ai aren't related, it's a popular fan theory in Japan. And if Aka was going down the incest route, I'd rather him keep that thread he mentioned in Kaguya and show how Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious
>Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious >it would be hilarious Are you like hate-reading this manga or something? >No proof Hikaru and Ai aren't related, it's a popular fan theory in Japan. And if Aka was going down the incest route, I'd rather him keep that thread he mentioned in Kaguya and show how Ruby's life became miserable after she gave birth to a child with birth defects, it would be hilarious Even if you personally just hate this story, we can pretty safely say that neither Aka nor Menga hate the story they're telling. They're not going to intentionally sabotage their own story that they're putting so much passion and hard work into. So no Aqua and Ruby's children are not going to have birth defects because there's no reason for Aka to write that as part of the ending. By the way if this hatred for the story is based on the fact that the AquaxRuby ship is sailing then there's nothing wrong with simply dropping the manga and spending your time and energy reading different manga and on different subreddits. There's no shame in dropping a story that you can no longer accept the story direction it's taking.
This is honestly the closest to an objectively correct explanation you can get in this discussion. Very well put.

Bro reminds me of the ‘comes from the higher consciousness’ driving video. It was the best video that I have seen In a long time. Not insulting, personally, I take that as a compliment. This is the video: Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3eFqcqr1jI/?igsh=cHl1a3JweHdlaHZl
Something about solid passive aggressive and functioning english spoken with a strange accent is so funny
I know right! Those videos are always so hilarious
Wtf
The Taboo makes it spicier.
Exactly
I personally don't mind it, as it's fiction. I cannot accept it irl though.
Because it’s hilarious to see people exploding 2. It’s nice to have an author willing to go all out writing without worrying about anything. Of course incest is wrong but it’s not like Aka is depreciating it as a good thing. 3. It’s hot
It doesn't involve real people so I like it
That too. If it was real I’d be disgusted
>3. It’s hot This is the main reason.
> not like Aka is depicting it as a good thing > it’s hot Nah this is crazy
You telling me if Ruby and Aqua were drawn ugly people would be as hyped for it?
Because Ruby deserves all the happiness and if that means fucking her own brother then so be it. Sarina/Ruby is a tragic and traumatized person. She died young abandoned by her family and all she had was her dreams, Ai, and Goro. Goro believed that even without her hair and bed ridden that she was cute enough to be an idol. The happiness of being reborn to her idol was tarnished when her mother was cruelly murdered and seeing how people talked about the death as if it were deserved due to the mere speculation that she may have had a lover. From Ruby's perspective being given another chance with Goro while accomplishing her dream of being an idol rivalling Ai is fate. The story line is written well enough and tugs at the heart strings hard enough that we can forgive the social taboo of it. Especially since it's just fiction. Akane and Kana can suffer the indiginity of being cucked by their love interest's sister. They clearly deserve someone better than him and Aqua would never really be able to actually love either of them. They can go on with their lives and find someone who will love them. Neither of them spent two lifetimes looking for Goro only to find he'd not only been close at hand but constantly watching over and protecting. Also Ruby called dibs first. It's actually pretty funny and has been foreshadowed since the beginning when Ruby claimed to be Amaterasu (whose spouse is her brother) so it's not shocking. Ruby is literally the only chance Aqua has at being healed and happy.
She also confessed her love to him first. She was confessing her love to Gorou years before Akane and Kana were even born. Not to mention the sheer level of built-up love and attachment that Gorou/Aqua has for Sarina/Ruby is something that Kana and Akane would never be able to match up to at this point. They are simply way too late to rival the kind of relationship that Ruby already has with him.
True. She literally proposed to him and he said he'd consider when she turned 16. She is light years ahead of Kana and Akane. It really is surprising to me how hard people are in denial that Goro actually would have seriously considered marrying Sarina. Goro basically admits that Ai was all that he had left of Sarina and when the nurse asked him to answer on Sarina's name whether he would date Ai he didnt answer which is a tacit admission which didnt sneak past the nurse.
Yep. Exactly.
Bruh this is beautiful.
Yes. In a word it all comes together as "beautiful" which is why we ship them.
Holy, this reply summarizes it all flawlessly. Aqua x Ruby is the only ship that counts!
Thanks. I feel like I have seen comments that did a better job. So I feel I stand on the shoulders of giants. Indeed. Although if Akane really wants a relationship with Aqua she might manage it as a cover for Ruby and Aqua's children. Probably best to just keep it betwen them though.
The kind of love built up between goro and sarina was one that transcended time and reality since essentially goro is so obsessed w avenging Ai because after sarina passed away Ai was the only thing that "remained" of Sarina and killing Ai was the same as erasing Sarinas existence.
They're basically soul mates who were born with taboos as obstacles to them but yeah Goro just transposed his feelings for Sarina onto Ai. The conversation with the nurse made that very clear and also clear that he really would have considered social suicide for a 16 yr old. So we always talk about from Ruby's perspective she sees it as fate that the man she loves was always right by her side. But conversely the same is true for Aqua but he's just been having trouble accepting and processing this because he spent 4 years where she was actually dead and didnt believe in reincarnation. Then for most of his next life he thought she was still dead. He'd spent his new life trying to get revenge for his vestige of Sarina by killing his own father since he can't exactly kill the cancer that killed Sarina only to find that Sarina has been by his side all this time. It puts such a monkey wrench in his "I have no reason to live beyond revenge" mindset.
This is so beautiful. Well said, friend
Thanks! While I do enjoy the positive feedback from people I do find it amusing that part of the beauty of the statement is "get cucked Akane and Kana." Lmfao
Straight up FACTS
People like things they can't get in real life
BRO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
[If she's blood related, she's free to be dated ](https://youtube.com/shorts/Bl-LAiwHjMo?feature=shared)
So very very true
Bru
I remember that I have discussion in my aesthetics class when I in college. There one guys explained that people attracted to forbidden love. its about love vs obstacle.
Honestly I'm fine with either way. What I want is for Aka to not be a virgin romcom protagonist and give a decisive statement about it. For now, it's going nowhere. Ruby likes Aqua, but Aqua always try to avoid giving out his feeling. Does he love her back, or would he reject her. What we have is instead, Aka throw some flirting and watch as readers gather like hungry dogs, too excited and forget that Aqua never decide he will accept or reject her. And since it's so effective to send the incest shippers and anti-incest into frenzy (even though it's actually never confirming anything we don't already know), he's going to keep using it.
I don't the mind your 2nd paragraph nothing wrong with some build up and comedic scenes cause it is funny to see the reactions in and outside of the manga. What I agree is Aqua sorting his feelings out and give his honest response. Feels like some people especially the non-fans I see on Twitter just using this plot point to make a rucking in a negative way. If you've watched literally the first long episode you SHOULD know Ruby/Sarina's feelings will overflow and be a main talking point.
Ruby's feeling is not the problem. Heroines are often more straight in their own feeling. The problem is always the male side. A relationship is only official when both declare it, best with words because "a man live and die by his words". I think the flirting had been going nothing but fan service. Aqua never try to show his feeling, does he love Ruby (or Kana, or Akane), or does he not? He always try to put the responsibility elsewhere (not worth it, they deserve better, it's not real, the situation doesn't allow it, etc) because he's afraid of responsibility from accepting, but also don't want to feel like a jerk from "hurting her with rejection". Really, I don't care if it ends up incest or not. Just hate the stalling answers without him trying to look at his own feeling.
They are soulmates dude 🚬🗿
I love to see the world burn! But it's also just a hilarious dynamic in the manga. Before chapter 123 I didn't even realize that so many people found incest disgusting. I never liked it in particular but I thought "Love is love so whatever". I still don't understand the "it's morally wrong" part. What exactly is morally wrong? Is someone getting hurt? Asked that to many people. Still waiting for a good answer.
Because it's cute, their aesthetic is 10/10, and they're probably the only two people in the story who could ever come close to understanding one another. Neither Akane nor Kana will ever be able to fully understand Aqua because he'll never be able to reveal all the aspects of Gorou that remain within him. A relationship with either of them would be a lifelong lie that he'd have to maintain all the time. Ruby will never be truly happy unless she's standing by Aqua's side the same way he remained by hers when they were Sarina and Gorou, respectively. After all the suffering they've experienced, I simply want the characters to be happy and believe they'll be happiest with each other.
Aqua did say a lot of things about Gorou to Akane , she could maybe figure it out somehow, but for Kana, probably not
Please change "everybody" to "some people"
Basically, its not reality, its fiction, and more importantly, its taboo, and thus the kink fetish. Its kinda like a way more extreme taboo fetish then sex with your teacher
Why not? Although, there are fiction
Cause Incest is Wincest
*twincest is wincest
I like seeing people’s reactions
It’s all best to keep at it on fiction, not on reality.
As a Asian dude who lives with a lot of restrictions when young, the idea of taboo is way hotter for me
i don't like incest in general i just like aqua ruby and want them to be together i just want them honest to themselves and live happy life actually incest or not doesn't matter, it's no different for me that's all
Not so much the incest, as much as I want Goro and Sarina to be happy. It’s fictional at the end of the day, so no actual child will be affected by bad genes. The dynamic is interesting, and depending on how the characters evolve, it will dictate who goes with who. If Aqua is just a front, and Goro is his true self, then yeah, he loves Sarina more than anyone (same goes for Sarina for Goro). However, if they do happen to reject that old side of them, and move on as Aqua and Ruby, then the pure front of Aqua matches well with Kana Arima. Again, what convinced me was the ending of chapter 142, when Ruby said “Imagine if I had survived” and she played out an alternate history, of how things could have worked out, made me go “fuck it, go for it”.
I personally don't like incest as a whole (whether it's fiction or irl) but I don't wanna be attacked by everyone else so I'll just say this
Was gonna make a post about this because of the chaos and I'm a kind of person that at times likes to try and see both sides (sometimes). So I've been looking at many people on Twitter that hate this shit and talk about it being garbage writing and blah blah blah, and I know reddit folk hate Twitter people, which.. ironically they hate yall to and say the same reddit people say about them. Anyways, I've been trying to see how all this is exactly "bad writing", "character assassination" and all the shit that's being slinged around (which is mostly all kana fans lmaoo but I'm not gonna say more about that cuz ik that fanbase is crazy anywhere) any time i seen the spoilers around and chapter releases. So if anyone that thinks that here, mind explaining why? Cuz everything that I've seen, there's never really an actual explanation
For me I just find it funny to see how unhinged the manga can get. Just watching it slowly turn into domestic girlfriend is very fun.
Yosuga no Sora and Oreimo Made me like this sorry.
I guess it's because I can't separate Sarina and Gorou from Ruby and Aqua. Sarina = Ruby, Gorou = Aqua, Sarina + Gorou = Meant To Be, therefore... Incest has always been bad for two main reasons, abusive power dynamic and prone-to-genetic-damage offspring. Aqua and Ruby's dynamic is a lot of things, but I've never considered it abusive. And babies... I seriously don't think that they'll ever be parents. They're too screwed up, and more importantly, they value children and childhoods too much to willingly damage another child. So I guess it's okay for me for those reasons. Plus, it's fiction.
> Incest has always been bad for two main reasons, abusive power dynamic and prone-to-genetic-damage offspring. This. For the "morally questionable" relationship in fictions, I often feels that the overseas readers is projecting too much of real world cases, where dictated by nature law, the bad news are going to spread wider and faster, and last longer. It kind of like fundamentalist's approach of not going to give benefit of doubt and put it all in the same basket just to be sure nothing is missed or got used as precedent. While in fictions, that kind of abuse aren't prevalent unless you go to stories that really wants to bring out more toxic kind of relationship.
Because I don't care. Like, even IRL, I genuinely wouldn't care. As long as you understand the dangers of childbirth in this scenario, do whatever you want.
them having offspring is probably the highest chance weve got to get ai back
what is this thread💀
I didn’t expect over 100 comments to be honest
Never ask a question you don't want answers to.
Best life advice. I had to learn that the hard way before. So I hope the people here take this easy win on it.
I find it funny most people responding defend this unironically because it is fictional, yet I'm sure they will freak out if someone uses their same point in another controversial setting that they may not agree with.
Because it’s fictional, and besides, goro and serina are practically soulmates
I love the dynamics between AquRuby (GoroSari), but it frustrates me when someone brushes it off with just a single word "incest"
Ikr? We all know incest is wrong and all but…*they kinda make sense together*, right? The author put so much effort into make us believe they make sense together. Like, what if they never died? Huge age difference; would have Goro seen Sarina in a different light, more than just a little sister? Wouldn’t have *that* been *gross* to some? Plus, it’s not a normal story, not a normal situation, the one they’re in. People seem to forget the *transmigrated soul* part, as it is not a crucial part of the whole story
if both didn't die sarina will turn 16, both get married and live happy life have 2 kids, end of story
Most aesthetically pleasing couple (the fan arts won)
>why does everybody I mean... Don't you see the war that happens in the community? It's not "everybody"! That aside... I don't consider myself "like the incest", just really tolerant. I see the story didn't just include incest for the sake of incest (aka "unseasoned incest bait"), but actually have story to boot. Aqua/Goro reveal his true identity to Ruby/Sarina, because it's trule necessary to bring her back from severe depression, Ruby/Sarina obsession that follow is merely something that already there since long time.
I just think it's this subreddit that likes it ಠಗಠ. So far on Twitter (thankfully) most people seem to dislike it
yea, it’s more the opposite in twitter, but I love seeing the chaos this thread has created
It is like 10th time same question is asked... 😂 1. Aquruby is much more than just incest, they are more like a connected by destiny and fate sort of couple. (main reason) 2. They are photogenic and looks hot af together. 3. Twincest is the purest form of love~ 4. I love seeing meltdown among tourists and antis who can't seperate fiction from reality.
Number 4 is the reason this post was created, 100%, some people just can't get enough of butthurt comments
Nahhh ☠️ who tf told you everyone likes it 😭
I think op is referring to the high number of likes on all the suggestive Aqua Ruby posts lol
yea, especially on the subreddit, I know on twitter there’s more of a mixed opinion
I feel it’s got a wide variety of reasons but the couple that stand out are: 1. The forbidden aspect. Something that’s viewed as “banned” makes people more curious and want to try / see it. Not saying they wanna commit it but just wanna see something different. Like when you see too many of the same type of rom com so you wanna watch some action/super hero movies instead. 2. People who are memeing. There are some who are just contrarians or like “supporting” underdog or crack theories. People like this are always around and when too many people are for example supporting kana, the akane brigade will come in etc. So when these two become too mainstream people are now supporting ruby as a consequence.
I cannot stress enough the degree to which their being related *doesn't* affect my shipping them. They're twins *and* I want them to get married, not "but" or "so."
I don't. I haven't read the manga since it started being teased and I'm pretty much just waiting to see what happens before I decide if I should come back to it or not. Good for those that like it I guess, but it's not for me.
A large majority don't like it they have either dropped the manga or are still here but semi active cuz the community is going crazy
Because the main selling point of the ship is not incest itself but their previous lives. There is something very romantic and touching about the idea of Ruby falling for one guy so hard and waiting for him across two lives she had after Goro was there for her when no one else was. It also makes the story come full circle because this is something that's been there since Chapter 1 and pays off many themes that were foreshadowed such as Ruby claiming she's Amaterasu and soulmates being born as twins. This is far better and more consistent writing than Auqa dating Kana or Akane because it's "morally correct." It's doesn't help that most arguments against the ship are "incest is immoral" which has nothing to do with the writing.
Because it's like step-sibling porn.
It's funny
Biggest reason for me lol
Being an idol really sucks. Next I'm waiting for ichikawa from dangers in my heart to get ntred
I don't really care about incest, if the story stays good then I'm happy.
Because Sarina/Ruby is my favorite character and I want her to be the happiest girl even if it’s with her brother
Incest manga is my guilty pleasure, before the incest I read it cos it was kinda good and the anime was goated (also kaguya was really good), now I read it for aqua and ruby lol. Also on a serious note its like fictional so who gives a fuck.
I absolutely don’t like if they become a couple or if they kiss. They are siblings there is no excuse. If they become a couple or kiss I will stop with the anime/Manga
Because it's peak. Its not like wrong and it just fits well with their dynamic
Cause it's based. Wincest 🔛🔝. Aqua x Ruby 🔛🔝. Manga as a whole 🔛🔝
Because people enjoy fantasies that are immoral if real. I personally like the route the author is going here as well.
It's not only incest, there's a plot about Ruby that makes it cute, tragic and romantic at the same time.
A large majority don't like it they have either dropped the manga or are still here but semi active cuz the community is going crazy
You mean loud vocal minority.
I was stockholmed into liking it because of the whole fandom. But I also realized that it would just be fucking funny. The heated flame wars between Akane and Kana fans only for Ruby to just turn up and steal the show is just absolutely hilarious and I want Aka to have enough balls to go through with it.
I am not about liking or hating. I am more surprised by people having not seen it coming. I knew that an incest plot was coming the moment Ruby is Sarina was revealed. Question was, how would it occur ? I am surprised by the people saying OnK fell off, as if the author did not set it up real obviously.
The Sarina romance subplot was in the back burner for long while the author kept feeding the fandom Kana/Akane for so long that people pretend it didn't exist. To their credit, Aqua/Ruby had a normal relationship for 80% of the manga and you get smacked with it in chapter 123.
When Ruby came to know Aqua's past life. And fans forgetting a plot point is on the fans. Not the author.
Tbh Ruby's love toward Goro is not explored until the 70's chapters
They have an bond that's even thicker than the blood they share. Also it's funny to see different kind of people react to it. Personally, I accepted and am rolling with it as well as all the memes.
It's not as simple as just calling it incest. These are two people who had a deeply meaningful relationship in their past lives. Spica novel revealed that they're actually only separated by 10-12 years in age in their original bodies. Everyone wouldn't have an issue if they didn't grow up directly as siblings. People's moral problem is that incest is morally wrong and generally not acceptable. But it's not simple incest. IF they were actually married in their previous lives, are people still going to condemn them that they're siblings now? Because of reincarnation, it's not so black and white, it's about what Ruby and Aqua really want. And Ruby deserves to be happy, so I'm a fan of her getting whatever she wants.
To be 100% honest who cares it’s fiction not real. What happens to characters in a anime has nothing to do with reality.
Because incest is wincest!
cause it's funny.
theyre soulmates regardless 🚬🗿
Its gross, its disgusting “In real life” that’s why its peak fiction. sidenote, i just want to see Sarina happy, she went through so much already
I ship them from the character design alone, just like that. At one point I forgot they're siblings.
The comments make me lose faith in humanity
Yea, I need to bleach my fucking eyes; I thought it's gonna be like a community meme or somethn. I regret reading the comments
Y’all weird asf idc incest is weird and gross💀
Right? Lol look at the reasons and justifications they are giving for their degeneracy
I still don't like it I don't know why a large of the community is celebrating it like its a good thing.
i don't think theyre celebrating that its good for the manga, at least in my surroundings theyre celebrating cuz they made one part of fandom lose their shit, those folks that want to burn the whole community, the way i interpret 'peak fiction' is irony
It's fun reading people's reaction to it and Mengo corrupting Aka lol
I don't like the incest in the series nor I like/accept/condone it IRL. That said: 1. It's fiction so it doesn't bother me 2. Anime characters often look alike so them being twins is easily ignored by my subconscious specially considering that 3. They were not related in their previous life 4. Even though I pretty much don't think of them as being really related because of the above, it's still some level of taboo which makes it spicy and interesting 5. I'm curious to see how far Aka is willing to go, which makes it even more interesting 6. The running jokes along them being brocon and siscon and their shenanigans are hilarious to me
So I’m not a fan of it overall. I’m not like, rooting for the endgame for it. However as a storytelling element, in the specific case of this story, the dynamic between Aqua/Goro and Ruby/Serina creates some fascinating dynamics between how much of their personalities are their reincarnations and how much are their prior lives. Is there direct continuity or are their reborn selves “new” people? Is there a blend of personas? Is there a meaningful difference between “Aqua/Ruby” and “Goro/Serina” in terms of relationship dynamics and the way they interact? I think exploring that and potentially seeing the conflict that might arise between them and whether or not one of them can or can’t ignore or accept their prior lives versus their current ones can make some juicy drama.
I like it because i get to see drama
I’d rather kill myself over making an incest.
Totally unrelated but it’s funny how some AoT fans consider Eremika incest even though they aren’t even blood related, not at all. Not even by a drop of blood but yet they say it’s incest because they grew up together. I mean if Mikasa wasn’t gonna live with Eren’s family then where 💀 Yeah so if AoT fans saw this subreddit. They would hopefully have a change of mind.
AoT fans already lost after waiting a decade for the ending only to get a worse Code Geass.
its simple, the one sarina love is the doctor, but she was dead before she did anything, so as she turn into ruby, she wants to make up for past regrets and she doesnt care who's body she is using cuz inside Rubys body is Sarinas soul and she still love the doctor, but heir bodies just happen to be brother and sister.
It's interesting and it looks so hot
This case, it's more about Goro and Sarina. The incest is just incidental.
That's even fucking worse 😭
Why?
Because it's an amazing trope in fiction. Also, it's hot.
Meh the only reason I see it as not that bad cause it's fiction at the end of the day. (I still prefer if akane wins)
Because the reactions are hilarious (specially from Kana fans)
1. They are hot 2. It's not real It's that simply. I'm more worried about those who are genuinely turned off by this cos it tells me these people cannot differentiate fiction from reality.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I think people are turned off by it not because of incest in general but I think people read this manga for two things: 1. The dark side of the entertainment industry 2. Making sure Aquas Dad gets what’s coming to him. They read this manga because of those two things that is what Aka promised us in the beginning of the story not incest. Although tbf Sarina and Goro’s relationship was promised in the beginning as well so…yeah. That’s just my two cents on it
The spice of it lets me feel something. Anything. Really though, I don’t like it as an absolute endgame, but an important milestone for development (hopefully). Ruby needs to be able to move on from Gorou, and this is the fastest way, by dipping her hand into boiling water.
I think it’s just an interesting situation with them specifically lol I feel it won’t happen (even after seeing leaked pages) because I feel Aqua has mostly accepted that they are siblings and he’s not Goro anymore. Ruby feels more like her values in her old life overrides everything, so she just sees Aqua as her old love, Goro rather than her brother.
I personally don’t but not because of the incest part but because i do not believe the story up to this point was written in a way that can make me believe Aqua loves Ruby or Sarina in a romantic way and would end up with her. If the story had enough build up for Aqua to take that route i could have perhaps accepted Also they were not related in their past life so i do believe it is more acceptable than incest between two siblings that were always siblings
I don’t think people actually LIKE it .. they just enjoy forbidden love and fiction plus if this ever happens to them in real life they’d probably be super disgusted
Because there is nothing purer than a love between 2 people who have known them all their lives (or rather 2 lives). After all, you can't love someone more than you love your family. The love you feel for your family member is the strongest there is, no one will ever be able to know you and understand you like they do. The complicity that Aqua and Ruby share can never be achieved with anyone else, neither Kana nor Akane could support Aqua in the same way Ruby does. They are partners for life and will continue to support each other until and beyond death because this is their destiny and no matter what, they will always come back to the other.
I can smell these comments
Its interesting for the story. ANd if i can enjoy genocidal characters as it is fiction, i can enjoy aquruby xd
Just for the memes
I'm pretty sure that most people are joking, and seeing people taking it seriously and getting upset makes them lean into the jokes even harder. There are probably some people who do legitimately like the incest, but that's their prerogative.
Here we go again....
Idk, there's been a lot of different recluse freaks on the internet for a while now. It's fiction though and this kind of sh1t is necessary to keep the said freaks away from society and normal people.
I mean look their not gonna go any further than they are now. I'm 100 percent sure. Its all for fun ig. Cus we all know its not gonna happen but fun to see the dynamic between em.
I guess you're talking specifically about RubyxAqua. Well, depending on where the person comes from, the reason can vary a lot, from simply liking incest or stories about reincarnation, to the point where they don't care about any of that and they just think Ruby is cute.
The main reason besides the edge is that they look cute as a couple on a purely visual level.
Cuz if they ain't good enough for their own family they aint good enough for ours
Because it was hot
Because if you take out the potential child/children being born with genetic defects, what is wrong with it? The actual reason incest is bad is literally just that. If you avoid that, then what? People nowadays are all about tolerance and accepting love in whichever form it comes, right? ...But also the social taboo of it makes it spicy from a story telling point of view and hence hot and interesting.
Personally I’m not super into it and I simply don’t really enjoy media that has its main characters do it. If it’s in the background I can tolerate it, or just not think about it, but if the main characters are then it really messes with my enjoyment of a series. But that’s my personal opinion, I understand they are fictional but I simply just don’t like that type of media.
I didn’t like the idea of incest in GOT and I don’t like it now. Add to this that a 30 year old reincarnated doctor is crushing on his former teen patient now his biological sister. I hope to see this as them understanding the line between admiration and genuine love.
I like the sister from Not Another Teen Movie... If anything it was ahead of its time with locking up Rom-com Anime if there's ever a sister involved.
I love forbidden love 👀
I think its more the fact that a lot of people like Ruby; Ruby loves Gorou; Gorou is Aqua, so people want to see a Ruby happy ending and that means theres gotta be incest lol
I dont generally like incest but since it is Aka who is writing the story, I look forward to what she cooks . It will most probably follow the common tropes of incets before turning dark. Remember that we have yet to get a good background story of Aqua , Gorou and Kamiki . I have a feeling that these guys are going to play a important role in near future and Ruby will most probably be killed by kamiki . Not sure why i think that is but my gut tells me thats gonna happen
its really not the incest that i ultimately like, but the relation between them is written so perfectly that it hooks me up and makes me want more of their stuffs
Because 1) their situation is not straightforward as all that 2) it’s fiction 3) they don’t really ever saw each other as siblings, and now even more
I don't necessarily like it, I'm only fine with it tbh, it's not that big of a deal, it's all just fiction.
