A Very SATISFYING Romance Manga

Blue Box or Ao no Hako is a satisfying romance manga to read. Feels like a nice blend of shounen and shoujo manga following the story of Chinatsu Kano, a basketball player and Taiki Inomata, a badminton player #anime #manga #mangarecommendations #bluebox

Wow someone’s actually talking about Blue Box?! I love blue box so much people don’t talk about this manga enough😭

I feel the same, been reading this for almost a year now. It's getting better boyyy

[@wanogodly292]

@@veezerrscharnhorst yea I’ve been reading it weekly for a year and a half now and i feel like we’ve come such a long way😭 and i can’t wait for the anime whenever it comes

fr there are so few vids about blue box

[@grosair]

So true

[@luc8810]

I literally started reading it 3 days ago and I'm already finished (with the chapters which have been released so far). I wanna read more of it! 😭😂

Kito is now a certified diabetes and trauma dealer.

[@taskdon769]

Actually, one mangaka is basically both of that. Daisuke Chida, the man who created both sweet as hell with "Mako-san wa Shindemo Jiritsu Shinai" and psychotic as hell "Heroine wa Zetsubou shimashita." then an one combined both sweetness and poison with "Ijousha no Ai".

[@RavedBunny]

I second this fact

[@algordo1997]

This is the way❤❤❤

[@harvin8064]

When I read the one shot, I immediately got hooked on the manga and satisfyingly caught up to it, the only unsatisfying thing is having to wait for a new chapter but I know the hard work the author is trying to put up and I appreciate it. I really wish for an adaptation for this manga.

[@veezerrscharnhorst]

Yess thank you Kito Senpai for promoting Ao no Hako (Blue Box). And for all of you who are interested in reading this manga, oh boy the latest chapters have some spice in it. There is no better time to start batch reading this

[@killerbait8240]

I stopped reading this when it was still at 75 ch since i couldnt handle the diabetes and having to wait 2 weeks sometimes for an update, i continued it now and itss very heart wrenching for me especially for hina since she is someone i rooted for but chinatsu is still good but dammnn

[@DH-cv8sn]

Finally some more talk for this series, I recently discovered it a few months back and it's been so satisfying seeing the recent popularity

[@N.S.351]

Yet another amazing recommendation. A sports romance anime/manga is something i have been searching for a long time and was never able to find. Love your channel and thanks a lot for all the good romance recommendations!

[@JigChu7]

I am glad I got to see that short from a while ago. Blue Box is amazing within the sports genre and the romance genre.

[@joMeraNaamPadRahaWohGandu]

yeah i just caught up to the latest chapter and its one of the best romance manga i ever saw

[@logosour]

My recommendations: Touch, Cross Game, H2, Rough. Yep all of them are by author Adachi. Sports manga(s) by Adachi have better romance than actual romance manga(s).

[@thomasffrench3639]

Damn, you beat me too it. I didn’t realize that they were by the same author tho.

[@wetnoodlex]

Touch was a good one holy moly. I couldn't finish it, though. Broke my heart somewhere in the middle. And on that point about romance mangas having worse romance, it's so fucking true lol. I was trying to get into My Happy Marriage and god, it's so bad. Shoujo stories are actually just awful. It's basically just, "oh no he's hot so I fell in love". Completely shafts the childhood friend that was always there for her, who tried to confess and she goes "what are you talking about?" Lol man. It's so awful. Like she didn't even give him a chance to shoot his shot. Don't need his sorry ass anymore since she's got mean hot guy as her prince charming. This is the type of shit girls enjoy in romance stories. It's actually delusional trash. l Meanwhile, sports manga out here breaking my heart to the point I can't even finish them despite being one of my favorite stories mangas out there... and I didn't even like baseball at the time.

I like this manga! It gave me motivation to continue practicing my sport. Everyone has big dreams, and I can see a lot of myself in Chinatsu. I was able to learn of this manga because I happened to watch your shorts video about Blue Box!

[@annamottan]

Dude I started reading it after seeing your shorts video, currently up to date. Such a good manga

I already watched your short on this manga. After that i started reading it. And yes, it is theone of the best manga in my list. Your reccomendations are awesome.

Man I love this manga so much. You really did mke an awsome video about it congrats!

[@gabetalks9275]

I've been craving an anime for this series since the one shot first dropped. And now, the manga has enough chapters for it, so hopefully we get one soon. It's so underrated. The anime is going to explode into mainstream popularity once it finally comes. Also, man, Blue Box's immediate success upon debut reminds me of RuriDragon. I'm still dying for that series to come back. Plz be ok Shindo-sensei.

finally someone talks about this manga. i remember reading it in 2022 and thoroughly enjoying it. this video made me remember it again and made me realise how long it has been since i read a chapter. thanks Kita Senpai

[@JcDizon]

I've been reading this when it was just a oneshot and it's such a cute story about a boy who loves sports in love with his senpai who also loves sports. It's awesome to see that it has over 100 chapters now.

[@SylinarMctavish]

The art in this manga is truly breathtaking. Further, I love how their relationship is founded. It’s not only realistic that he gets a crush on someone who motivates him, but she also pushes him to be better and get better. However, it’s not one sided. It’s really nice to see them both pushing each other forward. Remember everyone, push your partner to grow and grow along with them.

[@shrpkeychain]

I’ve been reading this since you recommended it in the short video. I can 100% confirm that this is not for everyone, but anyone could (edit: and should) like it.

[@TheAbyssreplied]

Kito senpai...thank you for bringing this to us...i see that you are the manga god now

This is off topic, but I love that you had the ending music from cyberpunk at the end of your video. I just happened to be listening to that song a lot lately so I noticed it immediately

After reading and loving "A fragrant flower blooms with dignity" bcs of your vid. I just read the title of this vid and decided to just trust you and read it without watching this vid first going in completely blind. I'm now at the recent chapter and loved every second of it. It's been a long time since I giggled like a teenager reading a romance like this. Thx as always for this amazing recommendation and I'm excited what you will present us next in the future.

omg i love this manga soo much!!!! literally one of my fav romcom manga. and the last few chapters were just soooooo gudd fucc istg

[@fusi0n_203]

Im caught up on the manga, and I can say that its very wholesome and the development of the romance was done really well. The sports part also isnt just a gimmick to make the series seem unique, as it shows the struggles of each of the characters in their resepective sports. I hope this gets a good anime adaptation sometime in the future because it deserves it.

[@thatsaylary]

great manga, im already reading it and overdozing with cuteness between taiki and chinatsu :)

[@skullzyy22]

The 100+ chapters of build up that lead to the past few chapters are really worth the wait. The only thing we are missing is the anime adaptation. Also waiting for a video about Akane-banashi, it’s a shounen manga about rakugo( Japanese traditional way of storytelling)

[@on11sama]

This art is S-tier and I would actually clear my calendar to watch the anime premier. 💯

[@pn33milan11]

I first started reading Blue box a few months ago, when the manga premiered in my country. It got some recommendations, so i decided to give it a try (i was also baited by the special box they sold it with, lol), and i was incredibly surprised how much i liked it. it's a very simple story, about sports and school romance, but it has such a nice feel to it: very likeable characters, relatable struggles, interesting developments, a good balance between both sports and private goals of the protags, simple and cozy artstyle. it's one of the most charming stories i've read in a while, and i'm sure it won't be long before it gets adapted into an anime. I definitely recommend it

[@plushyrope698]

Been a huge fan of this manga since around chapter 40 of its premier, and it has become one of if not my favourite manga, yea I love gory shonen battle types, but this manga just got something different inside of me, def recommend to give this a read and o my days if it got an anime adaption that would be so sick

you were the one who got me into this now i can't get out and i don't regret

I swear to god no one ever talks about ao no hako, the first chapter and the artstyle is enough to get u hooked tbh for me it's a really good breath of fresh air from all cliche typa romance mangas out there but thats just me ofc

[@DefinitelyNotASmartFridge]

I stumbled upon this by pure chance from a random video who mentioned this manga in like one off sentence, but I binged through the whole thing in a day and this is an amazing manga and by far the best recommendation you can give someone for just a simple, wholesome high school romance manga without significant "manga BS" and just being pretty realistic
