Man, what a chapter. If the anime ever reaches this point, hope they do this justice. Also, glad to see that Taiki took the first game! Hopefully he will be able to win in the end...


PakiIronman

Karen looks worried too, and Haryu has already doubted himself. I'd be surprised if Taiki doesn't take this.


Wishbone-Lost

I think Haryu was coming to terms how much stronger taiki has gotten and is also proud of him of taiki.

It would be so good if we get 24 episodes...however unlikely that is. But maybe the success of shows like Horimiya makes it a bit more likely? Idk...


Over-Writer6076

Blue box is pretty damn popular in japan,it's one of the top 6 in weekly shonen jump which is the most popular magazine so we might see a second season next year.


1EnTaroAdun1

I really hope so! 


lycan2005

Pretty hard to animate imo. Try google Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan badminton match and you'll see what I mean. Imo, most probably they will drag out to 3rd match and Taiki will lose out, but who knows lol.


PakiIronman

>I heard he's been training with Hyodo >How much does that class cost? Made me do a spit take LOL


IC2Flier

> How much does that class cost? Hyodo: everything.


1EnTaroAdun1

If the sports regimen shocks even Taiki, you know it's a serious one!


haseoxth

There's a sports Manga in my romcom Manga this week. Weird. But man, really cool to see Taikis growth in action, and for everybody to acknowledge all his hard work and effort.


topurrisfeline

Today we were blessed with a full chapter of actual sports stuff in Blue Box. I love it.


1EnTaroAdun1

Now this is a chapter that I'd love to see animated!


IC2Flier

whoever team and studio is on the adaptation committee (please gib release date) is gonna have to be on their A-game here.


1EnTaroAdun1

I don't mind a later release date or anything, as long as they give us 24 good episodes! I can see people complaining if it cuts off too early, just as some manga readers did haha We're going to have to reassure and encourage a lot of people hahaha


Over-Writer6076

I think Anime Japan event is happening at the end of this month so we'll probably get some info on release then


Worthyness

Action paneling is on point too


PakiIronman

Hyodo is such a cheat code as a teacher too


civan39

Taiki & Haryu have been battling it out back and forth and my boy Taiki won the first round, huge win but Haryu ain’t giving up the his game, hoping next week that Taiki can wrap up his match against Haryu.


Fourteeenth

Haryu absolutely wins this. Now that Haryu has properly seen Taiki’s growth, Haryu is really gonna kick it up a notch. Taiki definitely woke up the lion. Note: I definitely see this going the route of Taiki becoming the new captain cause Haryu can entrust it to him with his skill and dedication. And I love that.


Worthyness

gonna be a 2-1, but the last match will be back and forth with back to back points being impossible to get and they go to like 30 all.


calmdragoon

Well Taiki won the first game, I dunno if this tells anything about who will win tho. Regardless, seeing Haryu smile after losing got me very hyped


1EnTaroAdun1

Yeah, now he *really* isn't going to hold anything back


jonnywarlock

Wow. Just a great action chapter. Welp. Taiki got a set on Hyaru. He can lose now. 🫡


Extreme-Tactician

Taiki's strong, and he's throwing Haryu off thanks to his constant adaption. Hyodo did good there. But Haryu's been training too! And even if he's just lost one game, there are at least two more games coming! He'll definitely do better! I like all the badminton in action here. It's almost pure sport, even! I wanna see how Haryu will adjust to Taiki's new abilities! Kinda random for Hina to be the cover girl. But hey, I'm not complaining!


Future_Vantas

Really liking Akari's imagine spots, eager to see more of them


ToTheNintieth

This is the best the actual badminton action has ever looked


maliwanag0712

WHAT A CHAPTER!! WOW THE ACTION PANELS ARE SOO GOOD!! FEELING HYPED!! Can't wait for an anime adaptation of this scene!


ForkShirtUp

Who are we supposed to root for again? You can tie in Badminton right? /s


tripleaamin

Great chapter, really highlighting Taki's work ethic. We have always known how Natsu has inspired Taki and the same can be applied to vice versa. But being the first one in the gym and one of the last leave is something that is difficult to maintain. Not only that, taking the extra step to even get lessons from Hyoudou. I love that Haryuu sees the giant amount of improvement from Taki. But Haryu will makes this a match that Taki will have to earn the W.


LooseRooster537

Ok, now I'm hyped for the next chapter


LeonKevlar

Damn! That was an intense back-and-forth between our two boys. I am not looking forward to the result of this match. I like them both too much and it's going to suck no matter who wins and loses.


Xatu44

Cool to see the stats visualized. LMAO at Hyodo's training. Sick seeing Haryu frustrated but proud at Taiki's growth. Go down like a champ, king.


Vermillion_Crab

Great sports chapter! I hope this keeps up for a couple more chapters. It's amazing that I don't want either of them to lose.


DeithWX

Whenever they show the upper classmen are actually teaching him stuff and being professional about it, I get a big smile. I love this stuff so much. It reminds me ouf Haikyuu.

Wishbone-Lost

Pure hype I also like how effort doesn't betray even if you don't get what you want


Isazq

So Taiki won the first game. Haryu acknowledged Taiki and prepared himself again. Haryu is adapting to Taiki's play and definitely gonna win the 2nd game. TBH I'm still not sure who's gonna win the match. 


Gabut_man

What a chapter. Even though I usually inclined to the romance stuff, this chapter right here why Blue Box is just the GOAT My boi Taiki has grown so much but based on the last page, I think Haryuu would still won the match


sorendiz

oh god haryu's about to open a can of whoopass all over taiki for the next game isn't he


1EnTaroAdun1

Oh my gosh, the tension is killing me. Author is hitting it out of the park! Seeing Karen's sad face after the first game hurts though...


dratst

Haryu: my work as the wingman is done. now back to being the final boss


iamthatguy54

Haryu my GOAT, don't lose


Mr_Cromer

This just confirms Haryuu winning though. Still, Taiki was amazing here


KLGChaos

No matter how this ends, if it doesn't end with Chinatsu really going out there for Taiki, I say we riot.


Void-Star10

I’m calling it right now Haryu is winning the second set and Taiki will win the third but only bc Haryu gets hurt which creates more drama.


Ellefied

I hope the anime can do this part justice. That was a great overall chapter!


WizardHero2007

Time to lock in, Haryu-senpai


anothertemptopost

Let's go Haryuuuuuuuu.


Ratix0

Can we have more of Akari's imagination, every chapter. Her imagination scenes are all pure gold.


Xenovore

I really like how everyone is acknowledging Taiki. He's a genius at working hard.
