A brief synopsis of Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 1

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 1, titled Anemone Flaccida and Queen of the Night, sets the stage for the evolving dynamic between Himari Inuzuka and Yuu Natsume.
They first meet during their middle school’s cultural festival when Yuu struggles to sell 100 pieces of his handmade preserved flower accessories that would define his future. That’s when Himari steps in, taking charge of the sales for him.
A flashback reveals her motivation: captivated by the light in Yuu’s eyes when he’s immersed in his craft, she becomes determined to keep that spark for herself. In return, she proposes that they open a store together to sell his jewelry, where she’ll handle the sales, thus tying their futures together as best friends.
Two years later, their bond remains unchanged. Now running an online store called "You," Himari continues her playful teasing, joking that if Yuu doesn’t open his own shop by the time he’s 30, she’ll have to take responsibility and marry him. This has even led her brother, Hibaki, to refer to Yuu as his future brother-in-law.
Yet, beneath the surface, Himari remains firm in her belief that their friendship will always remain platonic. Her support for Yuu’s dream comes from a place of admiration, not romance.

That belief is shaken when Yuu meets Rion, a girl whose bracelet he repairs. The bracelet is one of the accessories he sold at the cultural festival. It turns out that Rion is an old friend of Himari. When the girls part ways with Yuu after school, Rion guesses that Yuu must be the one behind Himari’s accessories. However, her observation stuns Himari.
The episode ends as this moment triggers Himari into a realization. She has always believed she is the only one who truly understands Yuu, and that their connection is unique. But now, she questions whether that special bond is just her own wishful thinking.
What to expect in Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 2? (speculative)
Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 2 is titled Hibiscus Hair Accessory. The installment will continue from where it left off as Himari realizes that Yuu is the one who made Rinne's bracelet.
On the other hand, Yuu's sister worries about his shop, claiming that their business isn't going well. The next day, Yuu confronts Himari about having feelings for someone. However, to Yuu's surprise, Himari offers the protagonist a test kiss, hoping to calm Yuu's feelings.
