Taiki has a big wall to overtake before he meets his goal but hopefully he'll be able to do it. Hina really is a nice girl and this chapter made me like her a lot. Also Haryu with Chinatsu senpai, I guess misunderstanding time is here.

And with that, they're all now in high school!

As expected, the two girls are attracting quite a lot of spectators, by being the star of their respective sports.

Even if Hina seems quite playful, she's still quite serious about gymnastics. Though after this chapter, it just strengthens my belief that she has feelings for Taiki.

Chinatsu hanging out with Haryu seems slightly concerning for Taiki. But even then, I have a feeling it's likely going to be a misunderstanding or something of that sort.

I'm really liking Hina, she might be cheeky and playful but she's really serious when it comes to taking care of her nutrition and gymnastics.

And oh boy, with them seeing Chinatsu walking with that Haryu guy this might cause a misunderstanding.

Hina and Taki development, that mutual helpfulness is something I quite like.

A new challenger appears.

Are we already starting with romance drama? I'd like to see something about badminton at this point.

Man, Blue Box keeps on being my favourite thing. Miura is doing a great job to establish his characters. We got a Hina focused chapter this week. Despite her saying she isn't good at putting in effort, the chapter clearly shows how serious she is about gymnastics and that she is actually working hard. I already liked Hina but I love her even more now. I really love her current relationship with Taiki. It's fun to watch. I hope it continues. After last chapter and even now I keep seeing people being pessimistic about it. Granted this chapter doesn't confirm anything but one thing is for sure that Hina is genuinely being a supportive friend here.

And again regarding the last page, Miura is really baiting us. I understand people's worry but judging by Miura's previous works, he is a competent writer. So I have faith in him and am really excited to see how the story progresses.

All in all another great chapter. Characters keep being fun and interesting and their interactions are so fun to see. And the art is fantastic yet again.

Even if I'm always gonna be a diehard shipper of Taiki and Chinatsu (reading the oneshot does that to a person), the character relationships we've seen so far are soooo nice. It's super wholesome to see how supportive they are of each other.

Also, I'm still liking how the author continues to set up goals and problems for our characters to face later down the road, so I'm pretty optimistic in regards to how the story is going to fare in the future.

Severe lack of Chinatsu this chapter, but that was still great. Hina is awesome, she's really working hard. I think she does have some feelings for Taiki, but she also genuinely wants to support him which is nice. Oh no, Haryu is with Chinatsu, wonder where this will go. Looking forward to the next chapter.

The path going to the nationals is definitely a long way for Taiki but not for Hina since she seems to be mastering her own ability but gradually and socially I'm starting to not like Hina for the reason she's turning this manga from a refreshing sport into a gradual romance drama, at the same time she's like Yui who is very cheerful and friendly. The cliffhanger is getting somewhere.

This chapter made me respect Hina a lot more, she is a pretty cool friend who looks out for others. I'm cutting right now, but even I can't resist the temptations at times.

Wonder what's the deal with those two walking home.
