Despite the fact that Ruby and Aqua are both reincarnated and have kept their own memories, they’re still twins and have been together since their birth in their current lives. Both of them knew each other in their previous lives, since Gorou was Sarina’s doctor.

Their relationship got a new development when both found out about their true identities. And while Aqua was okay with loving Ruby as his younger sister, since it was exactly how he treated her in his past life, Ruby’s feelings were of another nature, a romantic one.

It didn’t really sit right with fans for multiple reasons. First of all, there’s a significant age gap between these two, since Gorou was in his 30s while Sarina was only 12. And then there’s this sibling situation. Which made anything romantic between Aqua and Ruby very problematic on various levels.

The outrage started even before the official release of Chapter 143 when the leaks were shared online. There was a frame of Ruby and Aqua kissing, and fans lost their minds because of that.

When Chapter 143 actually happened, the reaction wasn’t that different. The kiss really happened, even though it was just part of a movie they’re both doing.

It started a huge wave of “incest” allegations and fans pointed out how problematic the entire development between Aqua and Ruby actually is. On top of that, it’s not just because they’re siblings. Ruby’s determination to get involved with Aqua made fans feel uncomfortable, too.

Ruby does act a bit too clingy and is trying to gaslight and force Aqua into doing something he doesn’t want to. Fans call her behavior actual harassment and think it’s completely unacceptable.

They’re also worried that it might work and Aqua will develop feelings for Ruby in the future. Fans think the manga is building toward a romantic relationship between these two characters, and they’re disgusted by that.

This sentiment isn’t shared by everyone in the fandom, though. A number of readers have been rooting for Aqua and Ruby to get together and they think the latest chapter is a big hint that it’s going to happen in the future.

On top of that, they’re just enjoying the chaos that Chapter 143 has created in the fandom, and we can’t deny that it brought us a lot of hilarious memes.
