The recent chapter releases of the manga have seen some big revelations. First and foremost, Ruby saw her mother from her previous life as Sarina spend some quality time with her new children. This led her to believe that she was the reason why her mother Marina never looked happy around her.

Following that, Aqua and Ruby finally found out each other's past identities, i.e., Gorou Amamiya and Sarina Tendouji. With that, the two Ai fans reunited after over 18 years. Both characters were moved by the incident as they were brought to tears.

However, soon after that, the manga took another turn as Ruby reminded Aqua about Gorou's promise to Sarina. He had told her that he would marry her when she would turn 16. With that, Ruby reminded Aqua that she had already surpassed that age, suggesting that he should marry her.

This incident has left manga fans asking for more as they want to learn how Aqua will respond to Ruby's suggestion. Moreover, the manga was also on break for a week, leaving fans with more anticipation.
