Maebashi Witches episode 7 brief recap

Titled "When Things Suck, It Sucks To Admit That They Suck," the episode picked up exactly where the last left off - an old woman entered the store and Choco sharply dismissed her. She seemed to recognise the girls and call them by their family names. As Choco tried to walk her out, the girls protested and got her wish fulfilled for her.

Kyoka then confronted Choco about her behaviour. But the latter's behavior was oddly nonchalant and then she left the shop. Later, Keroppe attempted to talk to Kyoka, asking her the reason for her usual seriousness and why she wouldn't use the MaPo for herself, like the others did. But he received no proper reply as the brown-haired girl brushed him off and left for her own home.

At her place, fans see her distract herself with her beloved Mogutan to block out overhearing her parents speak about her. The next day, while Kyoka and Choco distributed pamphlets, the girls spoke about them - they had noticed how Kyoka was unusually happy but Choco seemed to have become withdrawn, not her regular bubbly and happy self.

The episode then revealed what the old woman had wished for - her wish consisted of her house getting cleaned and warm meal prepared for her daughter. Towards the end of the day, Choco noticed the posters put up in the shop for the upcoming Tanabata Festival. She rushed to her door but collapsed on the way. Yuina ran over with Keroppe only to find her asleep, exhausted.

As Yuina carried her through the door, she heard someone calling for Choco. At that moment, Keroppe used Magic to make Yuina appear as Choco. It was her grandma who had been calling out. This is when fans get a glimpse into Choco's busy life and her true situation. Later, she wakes up to find Yuina filling in for her, invisible to her loved ones for the time being.

She then reveals why she was pushing herself so hard and how she wanted to give her younger siblings a good childhood. Yuina and Choco have a heart-to-heart wherein the former urges the blonde to speak up when she is tired so others could help. Thus, the two grew closer through all this. The episode ended on a cliffhanger - it was Kyoka once more and a likely identity problem.

What to expect from Maebashi Witches episode 8?(speculative)

Maebashi Witches episode 8 will be titled "You Sure Are An Idiot, Kyoka." It should finally feature a glimpse into Kyoka Kitahara's life and her finding peace in Mogutan. But Mogutan isn't who she thinks they are, which is briefly seen in the end of episode 7. As it stands, it looks like Mogutan is a male at the other end and he seems to have noticed Kyoka, even asking her to meet up. This obviously disgusts her and what happens will be revealed in Maebashi Witches episode 8.
