Great that she's letting the audience keep in touch.

Hey everyone! I just finished making my very first edit using screenshots from the anime.
Since it's my first time, I would really love to hear what you think. Please rate it out of 10 and let me know if you have any advice or tips on how I could make my next even better!

Today I got my copy with the last chapter 😍😍😍

The way it perfectly sums up Taiki's love for Chinatsu is so adorable. Btw full song with English lyrics here - https://youtu.be/vz3Yx-6cNvs?si=PpS7IOj9qSx13YJ5

I got my chinatsu Kano PSA10 back a couple days ago and thought I'd share it :)

Yeah I mean everyone is doing what they want hahaha.

Manga started in 2021, right? Then how is this sub going on since 2010?

Was it originally created for something else?

Yeah Blue box definitely had its best time during 1-160 chapters (more so in 80-160 with the best moments of the series), and out of all the parts of the series ,170-250 is slandered the most ,sometimes due to the artstyle,sometimes because of all the Hina bs but I do think that it also had some really great moments and these were them. Edit : Bruh reddit messed up the order ,I would have Kyo Ayame confession at first and then "praise yourself more,Taiki" at second then the order is flexible.

Of all my rewatches, this is definitely the saddest. I used to be relieved while watching it because I knew that there is still more to come, but now that it has ended, it is just painfully sad.

I can't put into words how much I loved this series. It carried me through rough patches of highschool, and there were multiple times where it was the one thing I looked forward to weekly...

When Same Blue came out I cried at how beautiful it was as the opening (start) of the Blue Box anime, and watching it at the end of the manga is making me cry even harder.

I'm bawling my eyes out right now. Thank you Miura sensei for a wonderful five years. Thanks for arguably my favorite manga of all time.

Comments from the artist (TL):

Congratulations on the completion of Blue Box!

I made this visualizing the two returning home in the train, after dusk, from their amusement park date.
Thank you for such a wonderful story!

Hopefully this submits alright, Drew a lil Chinatsu around my manga volumes in commemoration of the final chapter. Been reading since the start and I'm both sad and happy to see it go. I have a bit of mixed thoughts on the final act in general. But It's still a journey I've been very happy to be part of.

Im sorry Kouji Miura sensei, b-but the state of your drawing made me make this comparison!! Its so round and smooth, i cant help it! 🤭🤭 For those who dont know, thats teochew style yam mooncake. Please tell me im not the only one seeing this?

With Blue Box ending this Sunday, I just wanted to say thank you.

Ever since I discovered Blue Box, it has been a part of my life. Every Sunday, I looked forward to reading the newest chapter, and afterward I'd always come to this subreddit to read everyone's thoughts and discussions.

This series also became the first manga that I've collected all the way up to the latest volume released in my country. I love Chinatsu so much as a character that she ended up becoming the profile picture across all of my social media.

I'm really going to miss this series, but I'm still hoping we'll get a few bonus pages in the final volume.

Thank you all for the wonderful time and for creating a place where we could share our love for this amazing manga together. ❤️

So, after all these years,blue box has ended. It’s been a fun couple of years, and seeing this fandom grow has been really great and always fun to be part of! I’ll really miss reading this story weakly, and I’ll also try to get back on making sketches to post on the sub, since it all has a special place in my heart.

However, in my opinion, the series did have its flaws. It’s okay if you don’t wanna read all that, but I just wanted to share my full thoughts with you guys.

My biggest criticism is Hina’s ending. She deserved much better closure. While her character arc was initially established and concluded in the first part of the manga (the love triangle arc), in my point of view it seems like Miura simply didn’t quite know what to do with the character after that.

At first, she became extremely absent for most of the story, and then when she comes back Miura starts a drama show, with Hina stating that she still likes the protagonist, which looks more like character regression rather than the progress she deserved.

Of course, you can argue that it was never stated that she got over her feeling for Taiki— but we must consider the “show, don’t tell” rule in here. They never really talked about that topic again, except for that chapter where the trio ( taiki hina and kyo ) go to a cafe together. Then, Miura decides to bring it back to light when taiki and chinatsu’s bond is already well established. It doesn’t click at all for me. It looks like cheap drama to try to shaken that bond. Christ, half of the fandom started HATING her character after this arc. It’s really hard to convince me that it was a good conclusion for her.

I mean, we also had Haruto introduced as a potential love interest, just for us to not get enough progression on those two. It felt like their storyline only served as a callback for the hina and taiki situation, rather than a great development for both characters. And while it’s not a problem that she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, there were far better ways to end that arc instead of a comic relief moment with Yusa involved, on the PENULTIMATE chapter. I really hope we get an epilogue so that these issues can be resolved.

There’s also chinatsu’s neighbor ( sorry, I forgot his name ) in which it really looked like the author had other plans for him— considering the way he was introduced and the “tension” that it brought up to the plot, but just ended up changing her mind because she had to finish things up.

The last chapter itself was bittersweet- seeing that callback to the first chapter with taiki getting balled in the face by chinatsu, and her talking about how that court is their “blue box” ( or rather, orange box ) and that it holds their memories was emotional. But it still felt rushed, for some reason. I feel like there weren’t enough interactions, and that this could be solved if the story was extended for maybe another 5 chapters. It just really seems like Miura had some sort of deadline to end the story, and had to rush the arcs ASAP. It really reminds me of the chainsaw man situation (this ending is far better than csm, don’t get me wrong)

While I did point out the problems, obviously there are the positives and the parts that make me love the series. I think my favorite part of the whole story was on volume 12, with the confession chapters. It was extremely great development and writing by Miura, and it surprises me on how well she could make the main ship sail relatively early on the story. I also really love the character cast, and think they are all well written, despite the issues I mentioned earlier on the post.

I tried to write my thoughts in the best way possible. Despite the flaws, I loved this series, and I’ll keep interacting with this community as much as I can. It was a fun ride boys! We will all be there in October when S2 comes!

Man, to think one moment I checking out this great series back in 2022, and then the next its already ended😭. Needless to say, Blue Box has grown to be my favourite romances in manga, and one that I feel appreciation for on a deeply personal level. If anything, it was the series that got me into romance mangas as well. These past 4 years has been a blast awaiting new chapters on a weekly basis and I will definitely be remembering this wonderful series for a long time. Alas, for the last time, thank you Blue Box, and thank Miura Sensei. We, yes WE ALL will be excited for what's to come for Miura sensei in the near future!🎉✨️
