With the summer holidays finally here, Chinatsu and Taiki found themselves in an unexpected situation in Blue Box Episode 15, “August 26.” Giving them room to clear up misunderstandings, the two embark on a brief getaway that slips out of their control on Chinatsu’s birthday.
Meanwhile, Taiki admits to Hina that even though he respects her feelings for him and that her confession has drastically shifted the dynamic between them, he had no intentions of backing out of the race to win Chinatsu’s heart.
The upcoming episode, titled “Cunning Woman” (literal translation), will be out tomorrow. Its preview was released today (IST). Check it out below:
Listed for a total of 25 episodes, Blue Box has ditched the new, not-so-favourite among fans approach, limiting an anime season to 12 episodes. The first half of the first season’s journey wrapped up on December 19. Blue Box earned a week-long hiatus before the series turned the page for the second-part commencement. Season 1 Part 2 resumed the high school drama on January 2, continuing its weekly storyline in the new year.

The follow-up season part’s opening theme is Macaroni Empitsu’s “Saraba,” whereas TOMOO’s “Contrast” works its magic as the new closing theme. Right before Part 2 commenced, anime officials released a key visual, summarising the theme of the forthcoming episodes. Its tagline, “The one I like is,” aptly explores Taiki’s mental turmoil, as in addition to his own emotional baggage and feelings for Chinatsu, he now has Hina to worry about as well since her love confession.
