Episode 7 Recap: Nano Shrinks and Family Secrets
Episode 7, which aired on August 16, 2026, delivered one of the most chaotic storylines of the season. The episode focused on a shrinking drug mishap and a dangerous encounter with Kusuri’s family.
The episode opened with Nano accidentally consuming one of Kusuri’s experimental drugs. The shrinking medicine worked better than expected, reducing Nano to a very small size. Her friends quickly came together to help her, creating tiny outfits from their own clothes so Nano would not get hurt.
Everyday tasks became difficult for Nano at her new size. Eating and taking medicine took much longer than usual. Despite the inconvenience, her friends showed care and affection toward her during this challenging time.
Rentaro stepped up as Nano’s protector throughout the episode. He carried her around school, took notes for her, and offered her a place to stay at his house while waiting for the medicine’s effects to wear off. This decision created some tense moments as Rentaro found himself in dangerous situations while trying to keep Nano safe. Eventually, Rentaro managed to protect Nano, and the two shared a meaningful moment together after the medicine’s effects faded.
The second half of the episode centered on Kusuri’s family. Rentaro met Kusuri’s parents, who are pharmaceutical experts. They questioned Rentaro about his relationship with their daughter, given the number of women he is involved with. The situation took a dangerous turn when a man claiming to be a pharmaceutical thief appeared. He poisoned Kusuri’s parents and invaded their lives as part of a plan to exploit Kusuri’s pharmaceutical knowledge.
The episode ended with Kusuri’s parents accepting Rentaro as their daughter’s boyfriend. However, the final moments introduced a surprise arrival: Kusuri’s grandmother.
