Synopsis

Taiki Inomata is a student enthusiastic about sports and aspires to arrive first at his school's blue-box gymnasium every day. Unfortunately, his morning smile quickly turns into a frown as he loses again and again to the girl's basketball team leader: Chinatsu Kano. Despite this, Taiki secretly likes his senior, and just the sight of her rekindles his zealous spirit.

With a firm resolve, Taiki plans to declare his love to Chinatsu soon. However, a love confession is far from easy, with Chinatsu potentially having other admirers and Taiki being a complete stranger to her. Can Taiki's youthful love flourish inside the blue box?

It's surprisingly funny, but not so funny that it takes away from the sincerity of the characters' emotions (and, boy, these characters are nothing if not sincere), and it all feels about as natural as manga really can.

I really don't think I could ...

Ao no Hako is a sweet one-shot manga I wasn't sure about starting at first, but eventually, I decided to just go for it. And that was definitely worth it! I don't usually like romance manga, but this one was different, and I'll explain why.

Story: 8/10 - very good

The story is one of the reasons I liked this manga so much. It was fast-paced but cute at the same time. The characters were developed and the plot didn't seem too rushed, even though it's a one-shot. The plot is pretty simple: the main character is a boy named Taiki Inomata, ...
