A brief recap of episode 7

Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 7 masterfully showcased connections and relationships among the characters and the strengthening of bonds. In the episode, Sakura and Yanagi were seen unexpectedly bonding over their mutual love for a manga, showcasing a growing connection between the high schoolers.

Elsewhere, Sawada was bullied by her classmates, but Miyamura stood by her side like a big brother. The situation took a heartwarming turn when Sawada discovered true friendship among the upperclassmen who accepted her with open arms.

Later, in Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 7 Sengoku and Remi came to Sawada's aid when they found her struggling to hang a poster of her class. Sengoku lifted Sawada onto his shoulder to help her reach the poster, while Remi led the way.

The upperclassmen then went on to hang the poster on the main bulletin board, which is mainly used by the senior class of the school. Sengoku informed Sawada that any class could use the board, demonstrating the absence of discrimination or toxic senior dominance.

This filled Sawada with joy, prompting her to express gratitude. Simoda, one of her classmates, witnessed this exchange. Later, Sawada's classmates understood their mistake and expressed their happiness at witnessing Sawada assisting her classmates. It marked the beginning of new friendships as they embraced Sawada.
