A brief synopsis of Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 7
In Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 7, titled "The Cracked Crocus," Rion officially joins Yuu and Himari’s business team. Thanks to a sudden surge in popularity, triggered by Shinji leaking that Yuu is the creator behind the accessories, their business begins to thrive, attracting a flood of customers.
Amid this growth, both Yuu and Himari quietly wrestle with their feelings for each other, though both keep their emotions close to themselves. During a business discussion, Shinji makes an appearance, openly supporting Rion and encouraging her to challenge Himari and pursue Yuu.
He then pulls Yuu aside for a private conversation about the store’s future. Shinji reveals that the business boom was orchestrated by him, as he had deliberately disclosed Yuu’s identity to Mao and her friend, whose promotion catalyzed the sudden spike in demand.
However, Shinji warns that the situation is about to take a darker turn for Yuu and apologizes in advance, stating that everything he’s done is to repay a significant debt he owes Rion.
His warning soon proves accurate. A complaint is filed at school by the parents of a girl who claimed she was pressured into purchasing their expensive accessory. Though Yuu provides proof that the purchase was consensual and legally sound, their teacher suggests they temporarily halt sales while the issue is addressed.
Her reasoning is revealed to be that her crush turned her down despite her purchasing one of Yuu’s accessories, which had become the subject of a school rumor claiming it could make someone fall in love.
Himari and Rion are furious to hear this and discuss the situation. Their emotions boil over when they encounter the girl having an outburst over the rejection. In a moment of spite, she crushes the accessory beneath her foot right in front of them. Himari confronts her, but the girl and her friends flee.
Meanwhile, Yuu silently picks up the broken piece, shocked, hurt, and visibly heartbroken to see something he created treated with such disregard, closing episode 7 on a somber, emotional note.
