As Yoru, Mei, and Kiui plan for the future with only 1 year left before graduation, Kano is unsure what to do. With that, she decides to tag along with Kiui for some reason.
Kano finally finds out that Yoru and Mei had their career guidance meetings. Yes, the girls are in their last year of high school. With that, Mei and Kano reveal that they are planning to go to university.
As for Kiui, you might be wondering what she will do since she doesn’t attend school due to what happened two years ago. Is she really screwed? Apparently, she plans to take an exam to get a certification equivalent to a high school diploma. Apparently, she wants to become a middle school teacher. I guess she wants to deal with younger teenagers with the better times of her school year and not so much of her high school years because of being an outcast. Of course, part of her plan is to get a motorcycle license.
Kano doesn’t know what to do in the future, not even why she wants to get 100k followers. She decides to tag along with Kiui to get a motorcycle license. Yep, it recalls the moments from the other motorbike anime of the girls trying to get their license. The funny thing is that Kano falls asleep during class, while Kiui has to wake her up after class. Kiui actually asks why Kano wants a license. Well, she wants to do it on a whim.
Even in the practical section of learning the basics of riding a motorbike, Kano had trouble controlling the motorcycle’s speed. Thus, her bike falls off the beam. As Kiui watches, a certain woman gains an interest in Kiui. I wonder why Kiui attracts other women besides Kano’s older sister, Mion.
Of course, this woman seems interested in Kiui’s bust size as she hangs out with her during dinner. Kiui won’t reveal her name until Kano comes in and reveals it to her. The woman revealed herself as Koharu, but it won’t be the last time we will see her.
Eventually, Kano asked Kiui why she wanted to become a middle school teacher. She revealed that she was being talked about by her homeroom teacher for not growing out the stuff she was interested in.
This is when she realizes she is not normal and becomes afraid of going to school. It’s not too surprising that conformity is a part of Japanese culture. With that in mind, Kiui wants to become a teacher so she can be there for those who don’t want to conform or be normal so they won’t end up alone like she was. Kano finally understands something as Kiui is no longer alone. However, she hits her head as she thanks Kano but asks why Kano wants 100k followers. Sadly, Kano doesn’t know why.
The next day, Kano sees Kiui in her school uniform as she plans to get some documents for the certification exam. Yep, she puts on a wig just to pick up those documents. Of course, in the hallway, two girls passed by and talked badly about her, wondering if Kiui was dropping out, along with making fun of her. Kiui couldn’t say something as she ran out of the school, saying how brutal the real world is.
When Kiui made it back, I found it funny how Koharu and Kano asked about Kiui’s cup size. Kano revealed to being a C Cup, and Koharu was a former B, but now F. Yep, she revealed that she had plastic surgery. Kano wants to take a bath with her.
In the meantime, we find out Mei’s university plans. Yep, she revealed that she only got 2nd in her performance skills once despite being on the top almost all the time. While she is upset, she finds out why Mei is upset, and only then can she engage with the piano. That is when she gave the smile that Yoru was looking for while doing a sketch. We found out later that she plans to attend art school. More on that later.
As for the bath time, Kano and Kiui saw how big Koharu’s bust is. Sure, they touch it, but it’s censored (maybe uncensored in the Blu-ray version), but something interesting we learn about her. Her back has some red marks on it. That is probably where a tattoo used to be, meaning she was part of a gang at one point. Besides, Kano thinks Kiui’s bust might be a bit bigger than her own.
Finally, everyone, even Kano, manages to pass their tests to get a license. Kano somehow failed the written test but still managed to get her license. As expected, Kiui exchanged details about her mobile game with Koharu and a friend, who apparently plays it. Funny how Kiui says fiber is way faster than motorbike.
After getting her license, Kano eventually rents a bike, and she wonders where to go. She ends up picking up Yoru after receiving a text message. Yep, Yoru ditches her friends to hang out with Kano. They went to a beach. The question of why Kano wants 100k followers comes up. Of course, Yoru revealed she wants to go to art school to become able to draw more fabulous art and make someone confident and happy. Yep, you know who already?
As for Kano, she doesn’t know why she wants 100k followers or why she wants to sing. She asks why Kano wants a license. Yoru had to remember that time when she couldn’t draw. Kano replied to draw for her. With that, Yoru intends to return the favor and wants Kano to sing for her as she loves her singing. That is when they saw a jellyfish in the wild. While Yoru takes Kano to see it, it’s funny how Kano calls Yoru by her actual name, Mahiru. Then Kano finally finds out why she wants a license. So she can have Yoru ride her bike with her.
I find it funny how Yoru realized that Kano called her by her actual name. Just like that kiss from a few episodes back, with this, it’s becoming undeniable that Mahiru and Kano are more than just friends. Still, Kano got caught by the police for having someone ride on the back of her bike during her first year of getting her license. Sure, the points on the permit are painful, but it’s worth it.

Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night Episode 7: The “Futures” Episode – The Yuri Empire
What a splendid episode this was!
All the girls discovering the paths to their futures were interesting, especially Kiui’s. Fingers crossed this wasn’t the last we saw of Koharu. Hopefully we’ll see her again before the epilogue.
What can I say about YoruKano’s relationship development? It’s only a matter of time. I eagerly anticipate that fateful day when they fulfill their destiny.
Yep, especially with Koharu of course, talk of cup sizes, and Koharu having an interest in Kiui just makes things interesting, yuri wise. But interesting to see what the girls plan to see what they plan to do in the feature.
The beach scene with Kano and Mahiru is nice, also seeing them ride on a motorbike together. Also, Kano calling Mahiru by her actual name, getting a bit interesting relationship wise.
