EPISODE CONTEXT

This episode directly follows Episode 658, where students first became consumed by fortune-telling predictions and personal anxieties, and escalates the mini-arc by formally establishing the fortune-teller's widespread influence over the academy. It functions as a transitional setup chapter, bridging the initial curiosity phase into what appears to be an inevitable confrontation where Rantarou and friends take matters into their own hands. As a long-running daily series, these loosely connected mini-arcs provide just enough narrative thread to reward consecutive viewing while remaining fully accessible as standalone comedy.
