Meticulous honor student Eiichiro Maruo—"Ei-chan"—faces the wall of world-class tennis in Volume 43, armed with the analytical notebooks he fills after every match. Everything he has drilled, every read he has logged, is put to the test against opponents who are simply stronger. Rather than panic, he widens his attacking options one experiment at a time, searching for the shots that will let him win. A careful, cerebral chapter of growth—and his bond with Natsu quietly draws closer.

Baby Steps Vol. 43 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Ei-chan finally confronts the flaw he has long avoided: a lack of finishing power. He takes hits early, but cross-references his opponent's habits against his notebook memory and rebuilds his return-and-net game on the fly. By the closing sets he can go for the decisive point himself instead of waiting, setting the stage for the big clash next volume. His relationship with Natsu also inches forward, with words of real resolve finally exchanged between them.
