Hibiki Volume 19
It seems Todoroki is a little excitable, as, after getting 3 Makamou kills, he starts rocking out on the guitar, all while a disc animal records it. Well, I guess he's doing his job right? Hmm...
Well, Asumu officially starts his first day at Tachibana's, and it's going smoothly. There's a brief introduction between the two (I think Todoroki only met Asumu's mother beforehand...), and we see Todoroki is super awkward in casual situations, especially with Hinaka (Though it seems her father would totally be fine with him dating her). He quickly eats and departs, and shortly afterwards, Zanki finally returns, having left to recuperate at a hot spring for a few days. He decided to stay with the group as a trainer, so that's cool. However, he and the old man aren't quite proud of Todoroki's little rock out session with the guitar post battle.
Todoroki rushes off to his next battle, encountering the monsters by a stream and after saving a family, engages, killing the Douji and Hime, but ended up getting caught by the crab Makamou.

This episode was alright, but a little fast paced. We see the return of Todoroki (Who was out of commission the last two episodes due to a physical) and Zanki, learning that he left for a hot spring to see if it might help soothe his body some. The episode begins with Todoroki on a Makamou killing montage, axing them off quickly, and then having a post battle celebration on the guitar at the 3rd. I think if they put a little more time into showing him showboating after all 3, it would make a little more sense for the old man and Zanki to be so disapproving of his actions.
We also see Hibiki learning to ride a motorcycle. That's cool. He's not as bad as before, thankfully, managing to avoid a lost dog on the track as well as not crash it.
Asumu's story here really isn't that important, basically telling us that his accidental volunteering at the restaurant last episode has led to a part time job there now. He meets Todoroki and learns he's Hitomi's cousin (Awkwardly leading to a conversation where they desperately try to avoid telling her that he's a demon. Also, I'm surprised they haven't used the "Oni" (Demon) and "Onii" (Brother) joke sooner).
