Based on Koji Miura's manga of the same name, the series follows Taiki Inomata, a member of the boys' badminton team at sports powerhouse Eimei Junior and Senior High. He's in love with basketball player Chinatsu Kano, the older girl he trains alongside every morning in the gym. One Spring day, their relationship takes a sharp turn... And thus begins this brand-new series of love, sports and youth!
The upcoming anime will be produced by Telecom Animation Film (Lupin III), while UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS (Undead Unluck) is in-charge of planning and production. The series will be directed by Yuichiro Yano (Lupin III Part 5), and will feature scripts overseen by Yuko Kakihara (Chihayafuru Seasons 2 and 3), and character designs by Miho Tanino (Tower of God). Blue Box is set to premiere this October on TBS in Japan and worldwide on Netflix as a simulcast.
