Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle Episode 7 Preview: Reward Date Sparks Love Triangle Drama

The popular fall 2025 campus anime "Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle" is about to take a dramatic turn. The official release on December 6th unveiled preview screenshots and a plot summary for Episode 7, titled "Hare no Hi Ke no Hi" (The Extraordinary Day and the Ordinary Day).

Following Episode 6 where Yuzuki's dramatic three-pointer led the basketball team to a comeback victory, the latest episode airing this Tuesday (December 9th) shifts focus from the heated court to the characters' slightly tense daily interactions. Beyond the mystery of the "missing sneakers," the "reward date" promise between Saku Chitose and Yuzuki Nanase unexpectedly triggers a strong reaction from Haru Aomi.

Episode 7 Plot: The Deduction Meeting at 8-ban Ramen

According to the official synopsis, Episode 7 picks up right after the victory. The scene shifts to the famous 8-ban Ramen in Fukui Prefecture.

Saku Chitose, Haru Aomi, and Yuzuki Nanase sit around a table, and the conversation returns to the "Yuzuki's Sneaker Disappearance Incident" that happened before the match.

Chitose demonstrates sharp observational skills, deducing from the following clues:

• The location where the sneakers were hidden
• The perpetrator's intimate familiarity with the school's internal layout

He boldly speculates: "The culprit is likely someone from within Fuji High School." However, with the current clues fragmented and lacking conclusive evidence to pinpoint the true culprit, the deduction reaches a deadlock.

Reward Date Ignites a Battlefield: Yuzuki and Aomi Face Off

As the deduction topic concludes, the focus shifts to the promise Chitose and Yuzuki made before the match—if they won, they would go on a "reward date (ご褒美デート)."

Regarding this date, Haru Aomi, who is Yuzuki's friend and teammate, displays an unusually "combative" attitude. The preview images show intense sparks flying between Aomi and Yuzuki, with their dialogue full of competitive spirit.

Why are these two originally good friends now clashing over Chitose's date? This discussion is spiraling out of control in an unexpected direction.
