Recap of Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie Season 1 Episode 7

The episode began with Izumi demonstrating his sewing skills to his costume design group. Despite being showered with praises, all Izumi could think about was Shikimori, who had been transferred to a different group. In the previous Cultural Festival, both Shikimori and Izumi were placed in the same costume designing group, and being distant from each other bothered them both.

Each person chose a certain animal costume they will be wearing for the festival and Izumi became a lion, which contradicts his timid and meek attitude. All his uneasiness vanished the moment he saw Shikimori in the bunny costume. Shikimori looked great, but like all the time,she sought Izumi's opinion on the same.

Later, Izumi was assigned to be the assistant in the Maid cafe, where he had to take orders and serve the customers. However, because his clumsiness and bad luck did not leave him alone, he was ready to tumble to the ground when he was saved by his girlfriend in a dramatic pose.

The reason why Episode 7 of Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie was special was due to the introduction of a new character named Kamiya, who immensely became a fan favorite, due to her distinctive personality. There was a debate among the fans about Kamiya's appearance resembling Shikimori. Later, Izumi offered a little introduction to Kamiya about how cool and perfect the latter is.

However, for the first time, Izumi got startled by watching the new side of Kamiya, where the latter showed interest in Shikimori. Kamiya wanted to know how the couple professed their feelings for each other. A short flashback was shown, transporting the audience back to the time when Izumi and Shikimori confessed their feelings for each other at the last Cultural Festival.
