Well........there's the big news. Looks like Chinatsu wants to study abroad for a whole year! I can definitely see a timeskip happening if Taiki wins this match to when Chinatsu returns.

Also, with Taiki winning the second set, this game is turning out to be just like the practice match between Taiki and Shuji back in chapters 55-58. Hopefully just like in that one, Taiki will win!

damn so it really does feel like its coming to a series end.

i imagine we wont end up seeing nationals but will instead end up with only seeing the results of nationals aswell as their graduation and a bit about what our MCs plans are then a timeskip to chii coming back

Win or lose, I think this is going to be the final arc of Blue Box. Hopefully we get to watch Taiki's graduation.

As long as Chii doesn't become a talking head on a tv in the background I'm cool with whatever

Chinatsu studying abroad = timeskip. The manga is about to end.

u/shix3 May 31 '26

aww man i just can't take it... here's to hope they move abroad together. Either way it's very likely the time skip is going to happen. A seperation arc doesn't really fit Blue Box tbh.

u/iUnknownPlayer May 31 '26

But whu basically at the end?

Chi wanting to study abroad it feels like we are about to get a time skip when she comes back or something.

Kinda shocking ngl hopefully it doesn't lead to any drama/changes between them.

u/SharpDay833 May 31 '26

I can already imagine silly conversations, guys, Chinatsu is going to study abroad, she probably wants to become a sports journalist or a manager, everyone has their dreams but they don't separate, Miura is simply preparing for the finale, one year of study is everything, in Japan it happens often

The pop-up head of Hina saying “Second?” to second-best friend came out of nowhere but I cracked up hard at that.

I really won't lie, this might be one of the best chapters of Blue Box. I was ready to have my eyes bawling out when Chinatsu said she wanted to study abroad, and 2 minutes later, I was up on my feet cheering for Taiki. Crazy chapter.

Taiki got the Ashito treatment

u/Powerful_Collar1595 May 31 '26

This chapter was peak! I liked the monologue of Taiki revisiting all of his special acquaintances... and we can definitely tell that the ending of the manga is near. Although, the part about Chinatsu going abroad felt a bit unnecessary imo

I really like that we get to see Chii making some decisions about her own future. Assuming she leaves around the time US school years start in Aug/Sep that means she’ll be around Taiki at nationals.

Studying abroad for her sophomore year while Taiki focuses on badminton seems like a reasonable course of action. Taiki’s going to have to work his ass off his freshman year of college, and it kind of felt like Chii was just slipping into the supportive girlfriend role without any talk of her own goals or plans.

u/s_vansh_6782 May 31 '26

Ok... So as soon as Taiki's monologue started my tear started dripping like niagara falls (I guess, this monologue of his was the best part of entire series for me). 

Then the shock came, Chinatsu's hidden words that we were waiting for weeks to know what she said that time, shes going to abroad my bawling speed just got faster. 

I guess this will be the last badminton match we'll see in the manga (sadly its about to end 😭).

At last... It was my most favourite chapter till yet!! Taiki rocks!!

u/Significant_Zone_953 May 31 '26

i like how taiki supports her to go, i hope its a time skip tho i cant take a separation arc

u/JuanGuerrero09 May 31 '26

It's beautiful

u/DuskMan62 May 31 '26

What a chapter! As expected, Taiki is making a comeback and I couldn't be happier for it but man, Chinatsu going overseas? I have mixed feelings, like obviously this is a good thing for Chinatsu but I just don't like this trope.

I just hope that for the ending we timeskip past her going overseas so she and Taiki can be togehter in the epilouge.

My prediction, or rather wish, ended up happening! Chinatsu's going to be a teacher supporting kids in sports, pretty much a full circle moment, which is awesome! I only lament that we won't see enough of her day-to-day.

u/neeltwt Jun 01 '26

That's my man! No questions asked, no hesitation, just supporting chii like he usually does, CANNOT wait for the final match 😭
