Negai no Astro: Chapter 7 Recap

Continuing from where the previous chapter left off, Negai no Astro Chapter 7 begins with Kuran being reminded of his true identity by Kou. His desire to be able to smile once more led him to receive a transformation ability from the boy.

Hibaru reminds Kuran that accepting Botan’s role had caused him immense pressure. However, he reassures Kuran that he can still make a change and let go of everything to join him.

Kuran is willing to join Hibaru’s forces, but he has concerns about the safety of Sanmenroppi and the Club Asura at Ikebukuro. Despite his worries, they reassure him that he doesn’t need to be concerned about them.

Terasu also believes that Kou must have faced his own struggles. Being constantly treated as Botan’s younger brother by the Sanmenroppi, Kou likely desired to break free from that label and escape the confines of their expectations.

In the meantime, Kou wakes up and urges Kuran to leave, claiming that Ikebukuro now belongs to him. Despite his words not reflecting his true emotions, Kou promises Hibaru that he will fulfill his duties and serve him and Ikebukuro.

After urging the boy to look after Kuran, he and the other members of the Sanmenroppi bid farewell to their former leader in a grand manner. Kou playfully yells at him, reminding him to come back with a smile next time.

At that moment, Kuran utilizes his Cheshire Astro to change into his younger form, as it is the only way for him to convey his feelings.

He promises Kuran that he will come back to Ikebukuro one day, wearing a genuine smile on his face. Until then, he entrusts the boy to take care of the city for him. The chapter concludes with Hibaru proposing the formation of a new faction called the Hibaru Faction.
