More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers S01E07
In episode 7 of More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, the emotional tension between Jirō and Akari reaches new heights as the school festival approaches, providing the perfect backdrop for romantic developments. The episode focuses on the cultural festival's fireworks display, a significant event that traditionally sparks confessions of love and deepened bonds between couples.
The episode begins with Jirō reflecting on his growing feelings for Akari, which are becoming harder to deny. His confusion about Shiori persists, especially after the hints that she might have feelings for him. However, his time spent with Akari has changed how he sees his relationship with her, making him question whether his heart truly still belongs to Shiori.
Meanwhile, Akari is dealing with her own inner turmoil. Her feelings for Minami, her original crush, are fading as her attraction to Jirō strengthens. However, Akari struggles to admit her feelings, particularly because Jirō has been so fixated on Shiori. Despite the front she puts up, Akari is more vulnerable than ever, and she wonders whether Jirō will ever see her as more than just his partner in the "marriage practical."
As the school festival kicks off, Jirō and Akari continue to act as a convincing couple, earning high praise from their classmates. The romantic atmosphere of the festival and the anticipation of the fireworks add to the tension between them, but they both remain unsure about how to proceed with their emotions.
A pivotal moment comes when Shiori and Jirō have a brief but heartfelt conversation during the festival. Shiori subtly hints at her own feelings, leaving Jirō once again torn between his past affection for her and his present bond with Akari. This exchange complicates things further, as Jirō begins to realize that no matter what happens, someone will get hurt.
The episode's climax takes place during the fireworks display, where couples traditionally confess their feelings. Jirō and Akari watch the fireworks together, and the atmosphere is charged with unspoken emotions. As the fireworks light up the night sky, Akari hints at her feelings for Jirō, but she doesn’t fully open up, afraid of what his response might be. Likewise, Jirō feels the urge to say something to Akari but hesitates, unsure if he's ready to let go of his feelings for Shiori.
The episode ends with a sense of longing, as neither Jirō nor Akari are ready to fully embrace their emotions. They watch the fireworks in silence, sitting close but emotionally distant, leaving the future of their relationship hanging in the balance.
