Fortunately, they are at least aware of what they need to work on. Thanks! Sorry for unloading about my family issues again.

Yeah, and probably any time Takatora brings up school Kouta reminds him that he needs to keep up with his family duties and that school can wait. And while Kouta is better at dealing with Micchy, Micchy still doesn't open up to him. Partly I think because Micchy tends to think that, if Kouta isn't siding with him against Takatora, he must be siding with Takatora against him.
