Making Isumi look a little older than the others, considering he IS older, was a good idea.
I also like the intro duction of an slightly older character at this point in the story as a peer; it shows that Hikaru is slowly entering the world of the grown-ups

[nods] The boy's almost 18 and acts older, despite his insecurities. He should look like it (I'd forgotten he was that much older and was all 'woah' when he talked about turning 18 soon).

From:

Well turning 18 means he has to leave the insei program, thus making that a crunch time moment; if he doesn't make pro this time, he'll have to go it all alone, his entire support and training system will fall away. And he has to ask himself that if he can't seem to pass WITH all the support, how is he supposed to do it without next year!?!
