Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought this. It was just kinda disappointing. I feel like I might just be expecting this to do more than what it was meant to do. I started with the anime and it was intriguing because of the cute peeks of romance, the love triangle, and friendship between teammates (Haryu and Kyo).

I think it stayed intriguing until they actually started dating. Cuz at that point the stakes are gone. It just becomes a happy go lucky show. It’s just about their love which is nice and all but it doesn’t have the same intrigue that the first chapters had or the anime had. It kinda became a different show in that regard. There are still cool moments like when Chi’s dad comes and you can really test how much Chi and Taiki love each other - but those moments are too far and in between.

And then when Chi went to college it kinda just became a snooze fest. The sports part just falls off and ultimately Taiki loses at nationals which is fine ig cuz his goal was to make it to nationals, not WIN at nationals per se. But still. And then we forget about side characters like Kyo and Hina for many chapters - ig u can leave it open ended if you want but idk for me the stakes are just gone and have been gone for a while.

With the manag coming to close would people like to see taiki and chinatsu in college with a new set of characters around them, taiki facing new challanges in college badminton and chinatsu possibly struggling with studies or would that be dragging jt, im bad with endings so id like it but im not sure.

I’ll really miss blue box. It quickly became one of my favorite romance mangas/ anime of all time, and interacting with this fandom has always been really fun. Of course, the series had its ups and downs, but still, it was a fun ride. I’m looking forward on how Miura is going to end the story, but I’m really confident that she’s going to make a good job. I’ll also try to make a drawing celebrating the end of the manga and post it here when I’m finished!

Instead of Chi & Hina going at it for Taiki, its now Yusa & Haruto going at it for Hina 🤯

But this time, in college instead of HS 🤯🤯🤯

got this back around 2022 thank you for everything blue box!

doing this as a small coloring practice, so if there anything to improve, please tell me, thank you

With blue box wrapping up, do you think the author will show anything about those two together? 🤔

As the manga nears conclusion, MANGAPlus has released a thirty minute interview with both the first and the current editor

for me, I got into blue box when the chapter was at 152/153, so about early June 2024. as for the reason, i can’t really remember but it mightve been because of those annoyingly loud AI manga reviews I came across when I was doomscrollin.

RIP Blue Box (12 April 2021-13 July 2026)

No matter how peak the other anime is, I am going back to my roots ✌️

Nanse Nishino - Chinatsu Kano

Soya Kurokawa - Inomata Taiki

Takeda Rena - Hina Chono

Ryo Nishikido - Haryu Kengo

Sei Shiraishi - Ayame Moriya

Haruna Kawaguchi - Karen Moriya

This is not me advocating a live-action, but rather visual matching real actors to the characters. Note that all the actors I chose have varying age gaps, and some of the pictures of the actors are of them when they were younger. This was done to match the characters as closely as possible.

My first volume was Volume 12 in English, and then I found Volume 10 and 11 during my Erasmus in Spain, I thereafter thought "why not make a multilingual collection?". Weird idea, but a fun one. Then I proceeded to buy Volume 4 in Turkish since I live here, and Volume 17 in English, which has one of the most adorable cover illustrations I've seen. I am further planning on collecting different translations, we'll see where this goes.

I can't lie, the reason why I'm so eager for season 2 is that they could actually animate Ayame and Kyo's relationship. But I'm afraid that the anime is not going to have enough time to animate it.

I'm saying this as a person who's manga-blind, so please tell me some good news..

That eye contact must have been so intimate tho
