With You, Our Love Will Make It Through Season 1 Episode 7: A Heartfelt Deep Dive Into Connection Over Prejudice

If you left episode 6 clinging to your screen after Mari’s bold stand for her beastfolk classmate in the cafeteria, episode 7 cranks the emotional stakes up tenfold. This isn’t just another slice-of-life episode—it’s a raw, tender exploration of what it means to see someone beyond the labels the world sticks on them, and it’s exactly the kind of storytelling that makes this series a must-watch for anyone who loves stories with heart.

Let’s start with the scene everyone’s buzzing about: the sunset encounter in the old neighborhood bookstore. Mari stumbles upon her beastfolk friend (let’s call him Kaito—fans on Reddit have been speculating this is his name, though it’s not officially confirmed yet) hiding in the back, flipping through a tattered copy of his favorite shojo manga. Instead of prying or pushing him to talk about the day’s bullies, she simply sits down next to him, pulls out a strawberry daifuku from her bag, and says, “This is my go-to when I’m sad.” The animation here is chef’s kiss—Millepensee’s soft watercolor backgrounds bathe the moment in golden light, and the way Kaito’s ears twitch slightly when he takes the snack feels so authentic, you’d swear he’s a real person sitting right there.

What makes this episode stand out is its unflinching look at prejudice—and how small acts of kindness can chip away at it. On their walk home, a group of middle schoolers yell slurs at Kaito, and Mari doesn’t freeze. She steps in front of him, her voice steady but shaking, and says, “Leave him alone. He didn’t do anything to you.” It’s not a grand, heroic speech—just quiet courage—and that’s why it hits so hard. Fans on MyAnimeList are raving about this moment: one user wrote, “Mari’s bravery isn’t about being tough. It’s about choosing to care even when you’re scared. That’s the kind of character I want to be.”

Episode 7 also gives us a deeper look into Kaito’s world. He opens up about growing up in a rural village where he was always the outsider—kids would throw stones at him, and adults would cross the street to avoid him. “I thought no one would ever see me as more than a ‘beast,’” he admits, his voice cracking. Mari’s response? She takes his hand (and yes, fans are losing it over this subtle romantic beat) and says, “I see you. Not as a beastfolk, just… you.” The voice acting here is top-tier—you can feel every ounce of vulnerability in Kaito’s lines, and Mari’s warmth comes through loud and clear.

Over on Douban, fans are praising the episode’s slow, intentional pacing: “This series doesn’t rush the romance. It’s all about building trust first. The way they share small moments—like fixing his broken notebook or laughing at a silly joke—feels more real than any over-the-top confession scene.” And let’s not forget the music: the opening track “Kusuguttai” by CHICO with HoneyWorks plays softly in the background during the bookstore scene, and the ending song “Kimi ni Naretara” by Yoh Kamiyama wraps up the episode perfectly, leaving you with a warm, fuzzy feeling.

If there’s one complaint, it’s that the episode ends on a cliffhanger—we see Kaito’s old village friend showing up at the school gate, and his face drops. But honestly, that’s just a sign the series is doing its job: leaving us wanting more.

In conclusion, With You, Our Love Will Make It Through Season 1 Episode7 is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. It’s the kind of episode that makes you laugh, cry, and call your best friend to tell them how much you appreciate them. Whether you’re here for the romance, the social commentary, or just the beautiful animation, this episode has something for everyone. So grab your favorite snack, curl up on the couch, and dive in—you won’t regret it.

P.S. Don’t skip the end credits! There’s a tiny preview of episode8 that hints at Kaito’s past coming back to haunt him, and it’s already got fans theorizing like crazy. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

Rating: 9.5/10—only扣 half a point because the cliffhanger is too cruel (but in the best way possible).
Recommended for: Slice-of-life lovers, romance fans, anyone who believes in the power of kindness.
When to watch: On a rainy day, or when you need a reminder that the world is still full of good people.
What to expect next: More emotional moments, deeper character development, and maybe—just maybe—a confession? We can only wait and see.

Go watch it now. Your heart will thank you.
