Maebashi Witches episode 2 brief summary

Titled Your Clothes and Mouth Are Flipping, the episode began with Yuina replaying the mean things Azu said to her. She was taken aback by her words and frankly irritated, deciding to do her best to befriend her. Meanwhile, Keroppe informed her that, as a witch, she could turn back time in her room. However, since that would put significant strain on her body, it needed to be used in moderation.
Nonetheless, Yuina and Azu coincidentally entered the magic shop at the same time. Upon seeing each other, Azu admitted she couldn't be friends with Yuina. But setting that aside, the magic counter displayed only three points as a reward. As Keroppe explained, his previous help had reduced the reward. However, the reward could increase as they fulfilled more wishes on their own.
Thus, the girls began to brainstorm how to operate the shop more effectively to earn rewards faster. Ultimately, they decided to run it together, given that their individual magic powers were still weak. Since this was the official opening as well, Keroppe materialized matching outfits for the girls, each in their own color. But everyone except Azu donned them.

The girls waited for quite a while, but not a single customer showed up. As they discussed what to do next, Azu expressed her strong desire to become a witch. This seemed to spark Yuina's interest, who then used her magic to create pamphlets to advertise the shop. Therefore, Yuina, Choco, and Kyoka set out to find customers while Keroppe, Azu, and Mai stayed behind.
Outside, the trio of girls had little luck with potential visitors. Inside the shop, Mai tried to talk to Azu, but the latter was unwilling to engage. Just as Azu was deciding to leave, a customer finally walked in. It was Rinko Mitsuwa, a plus-sized model. Azu and Mai attempted to use their magic to fulfill her wish, but they weren't powerful enough. This was also when the others returned.
The girls then prepared themselves for another performance. However, nothing seemed to change. As Keroppe explained, one among them was unwilling to sing, namely Azu. Finally, breaking her silence, Azu stated that she disliked people like Rinko who were seeking a shortcut to slim down. This left Rinko, the shop's second customer, stunned and dumbfounded.
What to expect from Maebashi Witches episode 2 (speculative)

Maebashi Witches episode 3 will pick up from the previous episode's cliffhanger. The Magic Flower Shop's opening didn't go as expected, with Azu's insecurities getting the better of her. So far, she has proven to be a difficult candidate to work with. Maebashi Witches episode 3, titled It's Written Negligence But Read Honesty, should provide a glimpse into Azu's origin story.
As seen in episode 2, she too was hiding her true self, one that felt insecure about her body and the emotions that flared up upon seeing Rinko. Hopefully, the developments in Maebashi Witches episode 3Maebashi Witches episode 3 allow Azu to overcome this and set her on the path to witchhood.
