Badminton hopeful Taiki falls for basketball ace Chinatsu. Shared dorms, overlapping practices, and a slow, earnest romance that a lot of people search as “Bluebox.”
Where to keep reading
Manga
The cleanest continuation after the Season 1 finale. Volume 10 opens the Nationals arc. The anime shuffled a Hina chapter near the end, so start at 81 rather than 79–80 if you want zero recap.

Season 2 is listed as October 2026 · Nationals. That’s a later season — the chapter above is the continuation now.
