That was a cute colour page.

Lol he can't take a chill even at his own house, he's restless but that's a given when ur crush is living with you. Anyway he got a matching wish ribbon, that's sweet.

As expected, Taiki is getting all nervous with his senpai living with him, though I guess anyone would. Chinatsu saying that she's at ease in their household was really adorable.

It's great to see Taiki strive to improve himself thanks to Chinatsu aiming to go to nationals as well. This simply makes this manga a whole lot more heartwarming. Having matching ribbons is really adorable as well.

Overall, another amazing chapter after the great premiere chapter. This is really the series I'm looking forward to the most every week.

Another great chapter. The romance and the sports part were really well balanced. Now Taiki has established his own goal. Chinatsu and Taiki are now working towards their own respective goals and supporting each other is great. And again, Taiki and Chinatsu's interactions are so adorable. Love it. As always the art is great and ofc the color page is beautiful. So yeah, excellent start.

As I've said before, Blue Box is my most anticipated manga from all of Jump.

Oh and also this was Miura Kouji's author comment from last week.


And guess what? He succeeded in doing so. He should be happy.

I like how author can handle living together, love and sport topic. I hope japanese readers will like it so it won't get axed.

Man, I barely can handle all the cuteness in this chapter. This is what I exactly needed after Horimiya ended. I hope WSJ lets it stay, and it also gets an anime adaptation. I'll definitely buy the first volume once it comes out.
Plus, Taiki getting determined to get to the nationals, just for being worthy of asking Chinatsu out (and not take undue advantage of her living with him), makes me respect him quite a bit. And I hope he makes it there.

Man, I admire this guy's dedication, wish I could also be motivated so much to strive for the things I want to accomplish. Don't think even a cute girl could make me move my lazy ass tho.

Taiki's already set a goal to go to the nationals, and I really like how motivated he is. I'm looking forward to seeing how he's going to improve.

I also love how supportive they are of each other. It was really adorable to her putting that wish ribbon on for him, and it was matching hers too hehe.

Taiki staring at the bathwater, lol! Is the old man Taiki's grandpa? Was he and Chinatsu's grandma actually married once? Chinatsu and Taiki could be 3rd cousins, lol.

This manga has been awesome so far! Maybe some drama from older boys hitting on Chinatsu later? A little foreshadowing from Taiki's friend, perhaps.

It's surprisingly addicting. I think it's because it's unconventional in its genre, which is good to see!

So yeah, I like it so far.

I was definitely worried as to how the author would follow up the first chapter, since this would be the first chapter we get that would truly be outside of the content from the oneshot, but I was not disappointed in the slightest. Very glad to see Taiki set a goal almost immediately, since we now have a good setup for his character arc.

Looking forward to next week.

Cute, I like it and this was better than the first chapter. MC already has a goal and despite the plot being predictable so far I think this will be enjoyable.

We are only in the second chapter and they already have matching wish ribbons, let's fucking go. That was a great chapter, Taiki wanting to go to the nationals to prove himself is admirable, I hope he makes it. I really hope that the friend girl of Taiki doesn't like him, not that I don't like love triangles, but I just don't want anyone getting hurt lmao.

Great color page. The girl is really cute, this is still the start, hope we can get hardcore into the training and sports soon, as well as the blooming romance, the girl also seems to be into the guy, it gave me that impression. Another good chapter.

Sweet chapter again. Really refreshing for a weekly Jump manga too so far with the more realistic pace and nature with the characters.

Aren't they too precious and sweet ?
The art is great and easy to follow. I'm into it.
I'm smelling a love interest from Taiki's female friend. I think this manga will include some drama at some giving point. Anyway great chapter , can't wait for the next one.

I wonder how in depth this series will go into either of the sports. This has potential to be really ambitious if it wants to be and I'd be super down for that if it does go that way! Would be pretty neat for someone like me since I know a ton about basketball but hardly know anything about badminton.

Oh, the secret is out. Well, it was only a matter of time. So quick tho damn.

I like the wholesome here with the band. It will break off if Taki just does a tatakae.

Liked the SOL elements and the intensity of them of playing sports in this chapter. Genuinely impressed with Taiki's dedication to stay physically fit since seems like he's aiming for the going to the national which only a few can win.

With that amount of determination it would only be a matter of time before Taiki makes it into the Nationals, let this sweet journey begin!

These two are so fun to read, love their interactions. The other characters aren't half bad either. This seems like a fun read.

Though, living with such a beauty has to be mental torture, feel for the guy.

romance and sports in one manga!! love both of these genres and this definitely looks awesome so far, very wholesome. Will definitely keep reading. It seems like our male protagonist is falling for his crush even more, but that might also push him to become an insane badminton player haha
