Usually whenever I see a new manga get serialized in WSJ I read the first chapter and wait for chapters to accumulate before binging 50 chapters. However, when I read the first chapter of Blue Box I was so engaged that I’ve been reading it weekly and have enjoyed it thoroughly.
Story: 8
The premise isn’t the most unique but what makes the story special is its execution. Drama isn’t lingered on too long and forced in order to pad out the story.
Art: 9
The mangaka of Blue Box has one of the most appealing art styles I’ve seen in Shōnen Jump. When characters talk the emotions on
...
their faces enhance to dialogue and although there’s only been a couple of badminton matches so far I can feel the intensity of the matches through the art.
Character: 9
My favorite part of this manga is the characters. As seen in every great romance manga better characters equals more success( Ex: Quintessential Quintuplets and Horimiya) and the characters in this manga are all very likable and well written(so far). Taiki and Chinatsu have great chemistry and I can’t wait to see their relationship blossom.
Enjoyment: 9
I have haven’t seen or read many sports/romance manga before. There have been Sports manga with a side of romance and Romance manga with a character who plays sports but I’ve never read manga which has given equal time to both sports and romance, and so far I’m loving it.
Overall: 9
If you like sports or romance check this manga out. Hopefully it has a long fruitful run in Shōnen Jump cause I’m loving it so far.
