Shounen Blue Box by Kouji Miura

Who's twin fangs . And that Inomata-senpai moment was nice lol.

I've seen a lot of praise for Hina's last line, but Idk I didn't think it was that great. Maybe cause I've seen it done better by characters in other series like Nino (QQ) and Sakurako (Grand Blue). And in this case, we and Hina know Taiki likes Chinatsu. The logic behind it feels weird, "I'm gonna tell my crush's crush that I confessed." Well, still looking forward to what comes out of it.

As for Kyo x Hina, I'll reserve judgement on it. Nice that we're learning more about Kyo tho.

I don't understand the praise, lol. Because they're athletes they're gonna compete for Taiki or something? Seem like more of a plot thing than a character thing.

Btw @Hermit your thoughts on Kyo x Hina?

Blasphemous ship. The second worst thing after a failed ship is settling for sloppy seconds
I dont think Kyo likes Hina, people are reading too much into this tbh.

Just wait till Kana pulls this on Akane. We'll see what you have to say then Mister Beno

It's called the Taiki Bowl for a reason, Randy
There's a reason Hina has a stronger throwing arm than Chinatsu

@Brandish μ blink twice if @Belserion has you captive

After chap 78, I don't see that happening.

51 was the first chapter where I felt it is a possibility. It'd make more sense to me if Kyo's crush was not Hina if Kyo x Hina happens. Hina had moments there where she might be getting interested

There was also that other guy who liked Hina, the chapter before Hina and Taiki went to the summer festival together. I remember people saying he might be the fall guy in the event of a Taiki rejection.
Hina gets all the boys, after all

New chapter, new Hina adorable face

Surprised Chinatsu did not react to the declaration of war though. Also, I expected Taiki would be happier about Chinatsu offering to come watch his game.

Chi is usually calm, plus it's just Hina Hina was cute in that panel. Felt for her when she found out why Chi is not living with Taiki, those moments make you feel so guilty.

New chapter out.
Man, there's just something enchanting about Hina chapters. Every time she gets screentime she just steals the show, jeez.
Gorgeous panels

Why thank you. The Karen/Chi tribe has far superior taste to the Hina clan

Hina is bold as ever, I see. I’m sure everyone can appreciate that. But I think this could backfire on her, because I feel that there’s a line she crossed. I don’t think Hina respects Taiki’s boundaries well enough, and this could end up being a source of contention/tension between them.

Taiki is about to officially drop Hina

Bit of a dead chapter this week (55), that convo between Haryu and Chi would have been much better as a girl talk (Karen and Chi).

 

[Orion]

This match was the best set of Taiki focused chapters so far. I'm surprised he actually beat Yusa, but it's good to see him have progress on the court considering we've seen how much work he's put in. And great way to end it with drinks from Chinatsu,

Haryu lost to Yusa Next season is gonna be interesting. Hyodo predicted Haryu vs Yusa final at Nationals, wonder what it will actually be. I think Haryu will make the final but not sure on opponent. Either A. Haryu beats Taiki in the semi, then faces Yusa in the final or B. Taiki beats Yusa and faces Haryu in the final. I prefer A, which would also set up Taiki vs. Yusa 3rd yr.

Chapter 60 is out

Nice Hina panels. Feel like Taiki won't make it in time for the concert with Chinatsu since he'll be focusing on the play with Hina.

LOL, I can see a cliche where he has to fill in for the role of the prince.

 

[Orion]

Nice we got the Chinatsu layup package.

Nice Hina panels. Feel like Taiki won't make it in time for the concert with Chinatsu since he'll be focusing on the play with Hina.

The concert starts an hour before the play tho, and the play is now 10 minutes earlier than previously scheduled. He might be late for the play

Its surreal being on opposite ships this time, LOL

At chapter 55ish Taiki was contemplating who he is and I think he needs to revisit this. Since then he's won a hard match against Yusa where his determination shone thru (I did lol at the commentary 'even when it's raining' 'even on windy days'... dude trains in a gym lol), Chi is buying him drinks and now Hina is in his head. Just looks like he is high on emotions right now.

Cultural festivals usually give us something. Chi made a move here after Taiki's reaction to the kiss query. Taiki is shook from Hina's cuteness. Hina's friend is making predictions. And there's a time limit. Something juicy will happen.

Btw I'm warming to Hina. Taiki should have complimented her (in the dress).
