Season 1
Season 1 (11 episodes, 12 April to 28 June 2023) starts with the 90-minute episode Mother and Children, which sets up the twins' rebirth. The rest of the season follows Aqua and Ruby as teenagers: a TV drama called Sweet Today, the reality dating show LoveNow, and the revival of the idol group B-Komachi with Kana and MEM-cho. It adapts the first four volumes.
Season 2
Season 2 (13 episodes, 3 July to 6 October 2024) is built around a stage play adaptation of the manga Tokyo Blade. The cast rehearses and stages the play, and the original author, Abiko Samejima, is involved as a producer, which brings the realities of adapting a manga to the front. It adapts volumes 5 to 8 of the manga and chapter 109.

Season 3 (11 episodes, 14 January to 25 March 2026) premiered on Tokyo MX and opens with Ruby landing a spot on the online variety show Dig Deep!, where Aqua already appears as a regular. Crunchyroll and HIDIVE streamed it outside Japan. The last episode was a one-hour special.
