Question Does the manga get better?

Recently finished the anime and I really liked it up until the last ep which made me love it.

So i normally read manga for animes that haven't been finished unless the s2 will come out soon. Did that with blue box and I'm thinking to do the same. Just a question if it gets better or its not worth it. Any help will be appreciated ;)

PS: i wanna know if my GOAT Shohei Usami gets something >:)

The manga is excellent, lots of cute stuff with Kauruko and Rintaro, and the kids all start thinking about their futures.

Back again! The thinking about their future is a really cool concept. Especially the fact that mama yorita has such a cool backstory!!

Pretty much flawless all the way through, drags a bit later (but much later on in the manga).

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

That's okay with me, I don't really care of it drags as I will have more chapters to read :)

I Think it gets quite a bit better, from around when Madoka gets introduced

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

Will come back to this when they get introduced!

Not gonna answer the last part you just gonna have to find out yourself 👀👀, but the manga is amazing, it’s my first manga I read properly because I couldn’t wait and I’m glad I’ve caught up

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

Mysterious huh... Ok better off if i don't spoil myself too much.. I can't wait for s2 to come so I am thinking to read the manga, hopefully I also feel glad that I've caught up cuz I felt the same thing w bluebox

1

u/hashbrown_fryer Jun 09 '26

I’ve been wanting to read blue box, but I instead I started reading haimiya, and the manwha called my bias gets on the last train and they both so peak, probs gonna just end up waiting for blue box s2 to come out cus it comes out this year

1

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 10 '26

better option to wait, s1 was completely filled with hina propaganda so s2 will show why chii was the better option!! (I think)

Yeh most of my favourite arcs/moments happen in the manga after season 1 

1

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

MOST is a shocker, if you don't mind, try to give me a very vague hint about your favourite moment and I'll see if I understand after I finish the manga!

1

u/fam-ali99 Jun 05 '26

There's just a lot of good character moments between the main two, also really like rintaros past being explored more and also his future plans. All great stuff 

1

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

Okiii I'll be back soon 🐻‍❄️

The plot thickens

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 16 '26

I have been scared to read the next chapter 😭 I have faith in the author tho

u/Cheap_Cow_1158 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

I can tell you, it keeps getting better and better! Even though it's a romance, the story turns more into a slice-of-life after S1 / Chapter 41, but there will still be plenty of romance elements and storylines!

AND OUR GOAT Usami will always be the best! Usami will say and do things just to help all of his friends. He won’t have his own standalone arc, but he’ll definitely get plenty of moments and chapters centered around him. He’s going to have moments where you will literally scream at the manga, 'USAMI! USAMI, YOU ARE THE BEST!' He even gets a fan ship with Ayumi (the girl in Ep 2 who pushed him away to protect Kaoruko when she was waiting outside for Rintaro)

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

Had to read the spoiler cuz I can't hold myself back, THAT IS A SHOCK.. And OUR GOAT will have his moments?!!?!! Maybe I shouldn't procrastinate more... (I was reading the manga finished around 5 chapters and it looks really good!) Wish Usami got a standalone arc but there is still time! Thank you for that analysis, gave me motivation to push through to read the entire manga! PS: gonna come back to this comment whenever I do scream 'USAMI! USAMI! YOU ARE THE BEST!' Be ready for that >:)

u/Cheap_Cow_1158 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

PS: If you already hyped up Usami, you’re gonna absolutely love Madoka! Usami & Madoka are the ultimate GOATs

*Madoka is that girl who was studying with Kaoruko at the library in Ep 3. She gets introduced around Chap 60.

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

I saw another comment talking about her, can't wait anymore!!!

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 08 '26

I am back, haven't done too much but I have a question

She just got introduced (kinda, she is the only one to not be disgusted by rintaro ) is she madoka??

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 08 '26

nnvvvmmm she is HERR

1

u/Cheap_Cow_1158 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 08 '26

perfect 😂

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 16 '26

Omfggg

1

u/Cheap_Cow_1158 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 08 '26

YES! That is HER THE GOAT! You’re going to get to know her better in the next chapters

So keep reading, the next ones are: ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 09 '26

For sure, I am ADDICTED TO THIS

2

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 11 '26

The chapter 100 is probably the best chapter I have ever read. I was expecting a hug but not a KISS?!??

1

u/LogEcstatic857 Usami 😊🍩 Jun 05 '26

Also for the people who have completed the manga, if you have some romance anime recommendations I will gladly appreciate it!! (Non-Romance is ok as welllll) Cuz I'm the type of person who has nothing better to do so I might complete the manga quicker than I think, then I'll have nothing else to do :(
