Ep 7. 3rd Semester!

YUYUSHIKI is a Japanese anime television series based on the 4-panel manga series by Komata Mikami. It centers on three high school girls named Yui, Yuzuko, and Yukari who are members of their school's Data Processing Club. The show follows their daily lives as they hang out, play games, and explore various hobbies.

In the seventh episode of the first season, titled "3rd Semester!", the school year is about to start again and Yui, Yuzuko, and Yukari are excited to begin their third semester. They discuss their plans for the new school year, including their goals for their classes and clubs. Yuzuko announces that she has joined the Tea Ceremony Club, which surprises Yui and Yukari since they didn't even know that their school had such a club.

The girls then talk about their summer vacation, with Yuzuko sharing her adventures at the beach and Yui and Yukari telling her about their trip to the mountains. They also discuss their summer homework, which they haven't finished yet. Yui confesses that she can't seem to focus on her work because she keeps getting distracted by video games, which prompts Yukari to give her a stern lecture on procrastination.

The conversation then shifts to their club activities, with Yui suggesting that they do more game programming this year. Yukari agrees and proposes that they try creating a rhythm game. Yuzuko, on the other hand, thinks they should focus on crafting projects like knitting and crochet. The girls debate on which activity to pursue, but they ultimately decide to do both since they enjoy all kinds of hobbies.

Later on, the Data Processing Club holds their first meeting of the semester. The girls discuss their plans for the year and Yui presents her idea for a rhythm game. She explains the basic mechanics of the game and shows them a demo version that she has created. Yukari is impressed by Yui's work and suggests that they add some original music to the game. Yuzuko, on the other hand, is still set on making crafts and proposes that they create some amigurumi toys.

The girls then start brainstorming ideas for the toys and discuss different animal designs. They even come up with a mascot for their club, which they name "Data-kun". Yui is hesitant about the whole crafting project, but Yukari convinces her that it's a good idea since it will attract more members to their club.

The episode ends with the girls working on both projects, with Yui programming the rhythm game and Yuzuko and Yukari knitting the amigurumi toys. They all have different approaches to their tasks, but they are all having fun and learning new skills. As the day comes to a close, Yui realizes that she has finally found a hobby that she's passionate about and is excited to see where it takes her.

In "3rd Semester!", YUYUSHIKI continues to showcase the day-to-day lives of Yui, Yuzuko, and Yukari. The episode explores their dreams and aspirations for the new school year, as well as their plans for their Data Processing Club. It also highlights the importance of pursuing one's passions and learning new things, even if it means stepping out of one's comfort zone. Overall, it's an enjoyable episode that further develops the show's charming characters and their friendship.
