Ruri Rocks episode 7 recap

Ruri Rocks episode 7, Seaside Recycling Studio, revealed Shouko Seto's past. While she was very interested in collecting rocks, her friends thought she had an odd hobby. While her parents supported her hobby, they did not think she should follow it as a career and focus on something else. Ever since, Shouko tried to shut down her hobby, but could not stop herself from learning more about rocks.

That's when she ran into Ruri, having found a glass piece. As Ruri ventured into the beach with Nagi and Imari to look for old glass bottles, Shouko joined them and reinvigorated her interest in the field. By the end of the day, Shouko started admiring Imari and expressed her interest in the field. With that, the anime effectively set up the chance for a possible friendship between Ruri and Shouko.

Ruri Rocks episode 8, titled The Golden Hour Elegy, will most likely see Shouko Seto join Ruri Tanigawa at the Mineralogy Lab. This development will likely help Shouko learn more about rocks and make her foundation strong for a possible career in the field.

Additionally, the anime episode could see Shouko bring the golden rock she found in her childhood to Nagi and Imari. With that, the anime episode might focus on the team trying to either identify or look for more of the same rock.
