Maebashi Witches – Episode 8 – Tanabata Wishes and Kyouka’s Embarassing Secret

May 26, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Kyouka may work hard, but…

From last time, Yuina finds out that Choco spends much time with family chores while caring for her grandma. Meanwhile, Kyouka is not herself in Choco’s absence and almost falls into a trap with a predator, VTuber. Now, she feels betrayed, and it becomes apparent that she wants to get back at the mole VTuber, throwing away all the merch. Still, Kyoka appears to act strangely, and Yuina, Azu, and Mei start to notice.

Kyouka has a huge grudge on the VTuber she used to like after finding out his secret.

This episode serves as a conclusion. On Tanabata day, Choco finally came back and apologized for her absence. It was nice to see what Yuina experienced with Choco despite the challenges of her father passing away. She has to help her grandmother while taking care of her mother. Interestingly, she was not alone as she received help from hers to manage her situation. In short, she officially revealed why she became a witch to help her family. It can explain why she has the power to turn back time so she can do more.

Kyouka started crying after she realizes how much she messed up compared to Choco.

Of course, the girls eventually find out what is up with Kyouka. Yep, they found out the VTuber that she follows is a sexual predator, and she feels ashamed. Sure, Kyouka acts responsibly and thoughtfully. In reality, Kyouka is the more sheltered and more childish one. Sure, she doesn’t like her parents deciding what she should do, but she is more free than Choco. Thankfully, Choco’s little brother and sister pay a visit as customers, and their wish is for Kyouka to stop crying. After all, they look up to her the most. Still, it’s interesting that with this, Kyoka’s goal is to become the mayor of Maebashi. It’s an ambitious goal, for one.

It’s nice that Kyoka and Choco is even closer now.

While it’s sad that the mole pervert Vtuber didn’t get the justice he deserves trying to groom Kyouka, I do hope it will get resolved at some point in him going to jail. That said, a teenage girl holds a flyer in the shop. I guess she may be the next customer.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 7 – Club Trip in Paradise

May 25, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
At last, that fabled beach episode is here!

Sure, the driving trip that the girls took teased the possibility of a beach episode. While Mako deals with her weight woes, Kurea and Shinon plan a club camping trip. When the girls went to a tropical place, I hope this episode will make it up.

The girls had pizza too.

Yes, it did, although the rain in the afternoon ruined the girls’ plans to have pizza and go to the beach to have fun. They stayed in, and I find it funny how the girls didn’t recognize Nana when she let her hair down. Besides watching horror movies, Nana seems scared of horror movies. Also, hearing the story of the indoor sports festival, Nana tripped, crashed into the judge’s panel, and injured a guy. Yes, it shows how unathletic Nana is, and she can’t seem to remember it. Kurea is the only one who can’t come up with a story since she didn’t particularly like her high school years. It feels as if she is left out.

There is also a flashback Mako had with Shion, Nana, and Tsutsuji, who wanted to buy a parfait but couldn’t afford it. Mako invites her friends to her house to make cookies. It’s nice that when the girls decided to go to a good spot to look at the fireworks, that is when Mako said she was unable to make memories after going to a different middle school than she did in elementary school. She couldn’t fit in, but she hoped to make memories in the club and was thankful to Kurea. With that, Kurea reaches out to Mako and encourages her to create more memories together. After all, Kurea reaches out to her to join the club.

It’s nice to take a look at Mako’s past with Shion, and even Tsutsuji and Nana during their childhoods. Only one that is not part of the group was Kurea.

At the same time, the beach scenes are nice. Seeing the girls play in the ocean and relax on the beach was nice. Also, it’s nice to have back-to-back beach episodes with Slime Taoshite 300-nen Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita 2 having theirs on the same day. Also, the girls had pizza, which made me want to have some too.

Maebashi Witches – Episode 7 – The Tough Life of Choco

May 19, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
Choco tries to escort the old lady she cursed at although the other girls want to help her.

After Choco had an outburst cursing the grandmother as an old hag, her friends had to come in and fix it. Eventually, that grandmother had her wish granted, but it’s evident that Choco is not herself.

Yuina helps a sleeping Choco.

Interestingly, after they finish the day of work, Choco heads out, and Yuina notices that she collapsed. Choco is using magic to turn time back so she can finish all those chores. Choco being overworked is one of the reasons Choco became a witch. We find out that her mother works as a nurse, but her leg was injured.

Apparently, Choco has it rough, even with the turning back of time.

As a result, she can’t work as she has kids to care for, too. Yuina covered for Choco as she rested. I can see why Choco is not like her usual self since she has much to do to care for the kids and her mother. No wonder why she cursed the grandmother out because of the stress she is in. While Yuina might not be the brightest, at least she is kind and considerate as she covered for Choco.

Kyouka feeling at ease while she uses magic points to donate to her Oshi.

On the other hand, Kyouka is acting a bit more cheerful than her serious self. It looks like Choco and Kyouka changed places. Kurope encourages Kyouka to use some magic points on herself as others do. She was reluctant to do so since she wanted the group to succeed. However, she eventually uses the points to donate to her favorite VTuber. That is while her parents talk about moving and being concerned that there is a bad influence on their daughter.

Well, Kyouka almost ended up in a stalker’s or rather, a groomer’s arms.

However, those frequent donations eventually caught the attention of Mogutan, who turned out to be a groomer He sent pictures of Kyouka out in public and eventually photos of his body only wearing underwear, attempting to groom Kyouka. These messages creep Kyouka out. That is where things got dark.

I have a feeling that Choco is the one who has the least freedom since she has her mother and kids to take care of. Meanwhile, Kyouka has more freedom despite her parents wanting her to go in a specific direction for their daughter’s future. We’ll find out what happens to Kyouka after that revelation next time.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 6 – Mako’s Weight Woes

May 18, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
That is one big pancake.
She is really enjoying it, but…

Mako, with Kurea, Shion, Tsutsuji, and Nana, went to a fashion shop Nana’s older sister owns. Yep, it’s surprising that Nana’s older sister dresses like a gyaru girl. After they had lunch, Mako had a big plate of Max Pancakes with berry sauce. It’s a foreshadowing of what is to come.

She can’t fit in the clothes she tries on.

The episode’s primary focus is that Mako becomes subconscious about her weight when she tries on a skirt and can’t zipper it up. She wonders if she had the wrong size, but it was the size she usually wears. When she weighed herself, she went on a strict diet.

Mako goes on a diet and exercise.
Her efforts paid off, but she only got back where she was.

It’s interesting to see an episode of Mako, Tsutsuji, and Nana exercising and losing weight in an anime focusing on delicious food. Mako went on the treadmill while Tsutsuji did various exercises, and Nana did weights. They struggled, of course, but they kept at it. Eventually, Mako manages to bring down her weight back to when she started university as her new skirt fits. However, she needs to get past that.

Moral of the story, balance is key.

Seeing her lack energy after going on a diet of only bean sprouts. As expected, there needs to be balance, and Tsutsuji suggests Mako having a cheat day once in a while. After all, the clerk tasked Kurea and Shion to take photos of the group eating to put on the website. Yes, they had burgers, and Mako was crying while eating it. Still, when she got home, she thought it was okay to have another snack and another since she could just burn it off. Sadly, I have a bad feeling that her progress will reverse.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 5 – On the Whim Road Trip

May 11, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
Yep, Shion failed the driver test.

Kurea and Shion decide to get a driver’s license. It’s funny how Kurea is the one who studies while Shion tries to do the bare minimum. The funny thing is that Shinon failed the test as she left the testing room. Still, the funny thing she said is that one of the rules of driving is not to hit people with a car. Wait, she realizes that driving a vehicle is unlike in Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto?

Nana’s social anxiety takes hold in front of Kurea’s mother.
Shinon is not used to highway driving.

The girls go on a road trip with Kurea and Shion in the driver’s seat. As expected, Nana is shy around Kurea’s mother as she lets them borrow the van. Seeing that they drive without a destination makes it seem like one of those unplanned trips Chika takes. What is funny is that Shion manages to get herself on a freeway and is afraid since there are a lot of cars, and she is not used to them. It took a while to get used to it, and it’s easier than driving on local roads. It’s a matter of getting used to those trucks.

Sure, it’s not the traditional beach episode, but at least they had great seafood dishes.

Eventually, Kurea took over, and they went to Tsukiji, where they ate various seafood. It’s funny how Nana froze up quite a few times, especially when they determined groups and Nana was alone in one group. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. Also, they went to a beach and rented a grill to have a seafood dinner. No swimsuits here, of course, but at least it was nice to see the girls do an on the whim day trip.

Maebashi Witches – Episode 6 – Choco’s Birthday and Kyouka Desire for Freedom

May 11, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
At last, the girls hit the 1k mark.

After Mai granted Yuu’s wish of resetting the status quo after Mai handing over the Kumai account was a trainwreck, at least the girls are back to where they started. Now, the shop is brimming with customers, with them performing for a girl who messed up her bangs and wants them to grow back.

In short, the girls finally broke the 1000 magic point goal. The girls have some setbacks, but it’s nice to see them finally getting the hang of things. It’s funny how Kurope is now a bit plump, as he doesn’t have to help the girls as much. Of course, the place is getting hot, and I wonder if using magic points to get air conditioning is worth it. After all, they went for it since it would improve working conditions.

We see the actual Azu again.

The primary focus of this episode is, of course, preparing for Choco’s 16th birthday. We see Mai, Yuina, Azu, and Kyouka discussing their plans to throw a birthday party. Interestingly, we finally know a pump, and Azu is trying to massage her legs.

That said, Kyouka mentions her favorite VTuber, Moutan, to Yuina. She donates to it once in a while. What does that have to do with her problems? As we see after the call, when Kyouka’s mother gives her a present, it’s evident that her parents are controlling.

Kyouka is not in good terms with her parents as they are demanding.

Her mother wants Kyouka to grow her hair and attend the university they pick. Her father wants her to go to dinner with the dress he picked out. As a result, Kyouka feels that she has no control over her life. That is why she wants to enter adulthood to chart out her part of doing her own thing and helping people. I can understand why they want their daughter to follow a particular path, but being too strict and not allowing her to make some decisions will eventually strain their relationship.

That said, Kyouka spoiled the birthday party they were planning for Choco. At least the birthday party was nice with the birthday song Yuina made. That said, a customer came in, which is a grandmother. Choco becomes annoyed and calls the grandmother an old bag. It’s the opposite of her cheerful and outgoing personality. I guess we’ll find out the full story next time.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 4 – The Shy Nana

May 4, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Nobody could imagine that Nana used to look like this.

A new member joins the Food Culture Research Club. It’s a girl named Nana, who probably has the worst anxiety problems when it comes to strangers. It’s one of the friends Shinon, Kurea, and Tsutsuji made during grade school. Given her prior looks of her having black hair and bangs that covered her eyes, she is the introverted member of the group.

Despite changing her appearance, she can’t get over her anxiety issues with strangers.

Nana wanted to create her puzzle-solving club, but she couldn’t recruit any members, given her looks. When she changed her hair and wore fashionable clothing, two ladies were interested in joining. However, her anxiety about strangers causes her to become unable to talk, and she eventually runs away. Yep, it reminds me of a cross between Hitori and Ikuyo, to be exact.

Thankfully, with Nana helping Mako with her German, at least Nana became less anxious towards her, especially during dinner. That is when Mako and Shion, who brought back some meat from her job, cooked some skewers and sandwiches. At least Nana got to apologize to Mako for accidentally bumping into her. While she becomes more open with Mako, when it comes to the clerk looking after clubs and talking to Mako, Nana becomes anxious again as she hides herself. I guess Nana getting over her anxiety problems with strangers is going to take a long while to resolve.

I like how Nana is more outgoing when she is closer with Mako.
When the clerk tried to talk to her, Nana becomes anxious as she hides.

Maebashi Witches – Episode 5 – Never Pays to Cheat

May 4, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
Yua hoped that she can get ahead easily by well, taking over the Kumai account.

As expected, Mai tries to butter Yua up, her former best friend, to convince her that magic can fix her problems. However, after Mai handed over her Kumai account, things didn’t quite go as planned. Yua showed no appreciation as she took the account as her own, hoping she could make it to the top of the beauty pageant. Even after overhearing that nobody cares about beauty pageants unless an influencer participates.

Yua finds out that she can’t get ahead by cheating as it catches up to her.

The funny thing is that Yua used the Kumai account to get ahead, but it didn’t quite work out. Everyone became suspicious of her, thinking she was not the real Kumai. After all, Mai was managing that account. As they say, cheating leads to failure when they get caught. After all, we find out that Yua only got into video games to use Mai’s sister’s makeup and stuff. She pretends to be Mai’s friend, and Mai thinks she is best friends with her and will do anything to help her, although Yua takes advantage of her. Even Mai used the magic points to help Yua receive more votes, but Yua is still ungrateful

As for the magic point situation, they went to the barebones as the count goes below 1 to .7. If it goes to zero, the girls no longer become witches. It’s probably not something Azu wants for apparent reasons. Thankfully, they managed to get Yua back into the shop to perform. She wished to return everything to the status quo before Mai handed over the Kumai account. Maybe it’s for the best that Mai and Yua remain distant until the time comes to make up. At least the Magic Point is back to where it was, as the girls get two new customers. Maybe the tides are turning? We’ll see.

My hope that someday, Mai and You can get back together.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 3 – Shion’s Money Problems and the Weekend Trip

April 27, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Shion has money problems.
Even after following the clues, Shion can’t find her wallet.
She found it after all.

Now the club is finally established, Shion wants to go on a trip. The funny thing is that she misplaced her money. Yep, she tried writing clues around her apartment. Seeing the girls try to find where Shion put the money is fun. The funny thing is that Shinon never hid the money, so she still has it. While it’s not the best way to prevent oneself from saving money, at least she still has it.

Shion wants that indirect kiss.

As for the weekend trip, seeing them have fun taking the lift, having a dango, visiting temples, and climbing that long staircase was nice. It’s funny how Tsutsuji was tired of climbing all those stairs and drinking an energy drink to get a short burst of energy, just to get tired again. Mako eventually notices the restaurant that Mokotaro, a mascot, visited. Believe it or not, the girls eventually went to that restaurant, where there is a framed image commemorating Mokotaro and featuring the restaurant on the show. Also, the girls got to see a nice view.

At least they ended with a nice meal.

It’s funny to see Shion walking with a hiking cane. It appears that she is anxious since she spent all her money. Yep, she should probably take some financial education classes to learn how to save her money before going out with her friends.

Maebashi Witches – Episode 4 – The Magic Point Thief and Bribes Don’t Always Work

April 27, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Mai got caught red handed.
She received massive damage for her using up all the magic points.

Now that Azu has finally loosened up, it comes to Mai. It’s funny to see all the video game references, even the inverted Konami code. That said, it’s weird how the girls realize that their magic points balance appears very low, wiping out all the gains. Mai eventually fesses up to using all the points for a temporary power boost. That means the girls are almost back where they started.

The primary focus is on Mai. Mai used to play video games and write strategy guides but eventually tried to follow in the footsteps of her older sister, Yua, who is quite fashionable. She works as an influencer. Sure, Mai is trying to pretend who tries to be like her sister. She even tries to impress her with magic and convince Yuina to use magical points to impress her. Mai and Yuina did things like summoning drinks and nice stuff like an air purifier. That is so she would ask to allow the girls to grant a wish.

Maybe bribing Mai’s older sister is probably not a good idea.
Yua seems jealous towards her little sister having more followers.

The thing is, when it comes to revealing follower counts on social media, this is where things take a turn for the worse. Yua only has 6800 followers, which is good, but not as much as she stated, especially for an influencer. When Yua finds out that Mai has 10k followers, she gets angry that her little sister has more followers than her. She even goes to the apartment demanding Mai’s social media account. Maybe Mai should set her path instead of following her. Either way, wasting magic points to brownnose Yua into asking Mai to grant a wish didn’t quite work out now that they are in the red. I guess they won’t become completely fledged witches at this rate.

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 2 – Cooking to Prevent the Club from Disbandment

April 20, 2025 by chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Uh oh, their gig is up!

Mako finally joins the Food Culture Research Club, but she discovers that the club has nothing to do with cooking. Yep, Shinon, Kurea and Tsutsuji made the club just to have a club room. It becomes apparent that after the girls clean up the room, they bring furniture to hang out.

The funny thing is the lady who received their club activity application came to check on them. It’s weird how they started to act anxious after she mentioned fake club applications to get rooms. If the Food Culture Research Club doesn’t show any evidence of activities from their application, their club will be disbanded.

Well, at least thanks to Mako’s motivation to cook, they found stuff from other clubs to make their club activities a reality and made Camembert curry pilaf. At least they are saved by the bell, but of course, they need to make an effort to keep doing the activities they are supposed to do. That said, at least the food that Mako cooked looks good here.

At last, the girls do the activities mentioned on the application, cooking of course!

Maebashi Witches – Episode 3 – Azu and Rinko and The Harms of Fat Shaming

April 20, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
Azu faced a lot of fat shaming that hurt her self esteem.

One of the aspects I missed from the last episode after the credits is what Azu is hiding. Azu is cold and acts like a mean girl. She lashes out at Rinko for assuming she wants to take the easy way out to lose weight. We find out that students in her school fat-shamed Azu, which caused her self-esteem to go down, which is not surprising. Fat shaming does not help get people to lose weight but instead makes the problem worse. Even at a clothing shop, when the shop employee tells her she doesn’t have her size, Azu becomes upset.

Mini Impressions: Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi – Episode 1

April 13, 2025 by chikorita157 1 Comment
An anime girl with shoulder-length dark hair and hairpins sits on the floor in a cozy living room, smiling as she prepares to eat a meal at a low wooden table with a bowl of food and a glass of drink in front of her.
Obviously, Mako enjoys cooking.

Kawai Mako is an introverted first-year college student who enjoys cooking food. However, she has no friends and is nervous about eating out. I do kind of relate to it since, after high school, I didn’t have many friends. That is until she meets three girls who are trying to form a Food Culture Research Club. It’s funny how Mako knows the red-haired girl, Ogawa Shinon, who attended elementary school. Shinon finds the nickname Oshinko embarrassing, but it’s not too familiar to see a friend from elementary school attend the same college. While Mako initially rejects the offer to join the club, she regrets it after getting home.

As expected, Mako wants to eat that katsu don. However, the first time, she missed the chance. Believe it or not, it’s the same shop that Furutachi Kurea works at since it’s her parents’ business.

As expected, Mako’s reactions when she eats is cute.

While Mako nearly missed the chance to have the dish since she ordered last and they ran out, it was nice for Kurea to give her up. But it’s cute to see her reactions when she eats the meal. That is when Kurea reveals that Shinon can’t stop talking about Mako. I feel that Mako wants to join the club with the hope of cooking and eating various foods. Yep, she wants to return to the good old times from elementary school.

Mako and Shinon might make a good pairing.

At least the club is up and running thanks to her now, and Shinon seems happy that she can just hang out. I find it funny how she fakes the club’s purpose so she can have a dedicated place with her friends to hang out. Mako is probably disappointed, but perhaps she can make the best of the situation. Overall, a fun first episode.

Thankfully, the hens haven’t been hit with the bird flu.

Mini Impressions: Maebashi Witches Episode 2 – Azu’s Prejudice and her Takedown on Fast Fashion

April 13, 2025 by chikorita157 2 Comments

 

I don’t think they can make it that long after becoming full fledged witches.

Note: Since many shows are airing this season, I can’t possibly cover them all. The only shows I will cover in full are Slime Taoshite 300, mono, Rock wa Lady no Tashinami deshite, Aru Majo ga Shinu Made, and Zatsu Tabi. Any other shows I watch will have short impressions every week at Kireina Yuri (this blog). Impressions are usually less than 300-400 words.

As expected, Azu remains cold towards Yuina as they look for their second customer. After all, they only got 3 points out of 30,000. Unless they improve, they will be old ladies at the rate they are going.

Besides that, the primary focus is on clothes, as Azu doesn’t like the kimono uniform the frog mascot offers despite Yuina thinking they are cute. Azu even lambasted Yuina over her clothing choices. I know that fast fashion, from the likes of Shein, has a lot of ethical issues, such as safety issues, exploitation of workers, and even stolen designs. I’m against Shein and even Temu because the stuff they make is usually of poor quality and, as a result, ends up in landfills, thus ruining the environment.

Sure, Azu’s insults get to Yuina, but with Kyoka and Choco, they go to an upscale clothing store to try stuff on, but of course, they find out how expensive it is. Azu acts this way since she can afford designer clothing while normal girls can’t. What shows how mean Azu is when a plus-sized model, Mitsuba Rinko, comes to the shop. When the others came back, Azu won’t perform because she outright stated she hates fat people. Azu is probably the most prejudiced person as she shames people who can’t wear expensive clothing and now outright admits she hates fat people, perhaps from past experiences. It makes me wonder if Azu can ever redeem herself. I guess we’ll only find out next time.

The problem with Fast Fashion like Shein and Temu in a nutshell.

Ayaka wanted to say something about her preference for women, but it’s obvious she can’t take alcohol well.

Now that Ayaka revealed that she is a Lesbian, Hiroko doesn’t know how to react. After all, she had mistaken Ayaka as a straight person for a while now. Even knowing that Ayaka loves women and has a crush on Hiroko, she lies to get Ayaka to hide the truth about her past. However, this, of course, only worsens the problem.
