Acerca de 逆に

(ぎゃく) is a grammar pattern that indicates that something is 'contrary' to what has previously been said. This is a structure made up of the noun (ぎゃく) 'reverse', 'opposite', or 'converse', and に. Due to the inclusion of に, this phrase behaves adverbially, and will usually appear between two phrases, to indicate that 'on the contrary to (A), (B)', or 'conversely to (A), (B)'.
