The one with the glasses is the one I'm calling Malcolm. I mean, he named the restaurant after himself!
To paraphrase Inoue,
Zanki is Zanki

Well, I wasn't saying that as a) a universal opinion, or even b) the thesis of this series. It's pretty much just this episode, where the men in it accomplish basically nothing, while the women are the ones actively doing their jobs.

Nago making Wataru shout out his admiration is one of the most Kusaka moves around, and I enjoyed that little self-satisfied smirk Nago gave when he made the demand. Really nice touch.
(Also, uh... I was not 100% clear on if Nago was going to be Ixa. I love the enthusiasm everyone has for where Nago's story is headed, but if we can maybe keep the discussion to the things that've appeared on the show, that would be great. Thanks!)

Sure, but Wataru wouldn't even be in this position if it weren't for Nago, so I feel like Nago bears the bulk of the responsibility.

It's just nerves that cause Wataru to tank that performance. We've seen him play in privacy before; he's quite good! This was just a situation where he was trying to do too much, too fast. It's of a piece with everything else he's going through in this story, where he's letting other people (Shizuka, here) dictate the pace of his improvement. Going from The Ghost Boy to playing for two dozen people (in his home!) was way too much for him.
Also, I'd assume the smells of the stuff he's been using to create a finish for his violins have now permeated his clothes and his house. If you brew up a gigantic pot of fish stock (let alone
dog poop
), it's going to cling to everything.
