Things are going well for the Doujima family as they are rebuilding their own group and becoming more like a family again. Well, grandma is still a bit stubborn but like what Akira mentioned, deep inside, surely, grandma is happy over this outcome. Both siblings will be teaching and perhaps, Keishi will play again in the near future.
Regarding Michi’s problem in playing louder, it seems that issue is resolved with a more practice after Keishi demonstrated how it is done. Atsumu is still proactive in telling Natsu what’s going on in the club. I cannot quite say if Natsu feels like he is bothering Atsumu for doing that for him or it is indeed a bit bothersome that Atsumu is doing that. Maybe both?
Well, I guess Natsu somewhat commends Atsumu for his effort that he’ll even write what others tell him about his playing. Natsu is opening up a bit that he seems interested in the music that Atsumu likes. Of course, such interaction is a big deal for Atsumu.

Still, they are not that close enough for Natsu to frankly tell Atsumu the issue regarding his playing. Well, Natsu doesn’t want to hurt Atsumu’s feelings which might affect the group’s playing. From Natsu’s observation, it seems that Atsumu and Kouta are too mindful of other things/not their performance that they aren’t playing well.
And thanks to Chika’s query that something else seems to be the problem, the main issue had come out. Atsumu’s timbre is the problem and from the previous chapters, timbre is one of the strong points of Tokize.
Though, I’m not sure if the cause is because he is playing a different koto. I mean, wouldn’t Suzuka mention it rather than have them practice all this time for it to be problematic later on? Anyway, it seems that this would be the next issue to be resolved.
