The long-awaited TV anime adaptation of Blue Box, based on Kouji Miura's hit manga of the same name, will be available on service from October 4 (October 3, PT). Since its serialization in April 2021 in Weekly Shonen Jump, the manga has attracted readers with its heartfelt depiction of young love.

The story is centered around Taiki, a rookie badminton player, who is suddenly unexpectedly brought closer to his long-time crush, Chinatsu, a star on the basketball team. For Taiki and his friends at the athletic and competitive Eimei Private High School, staying at the top of their game requires total focus. But with romance brewing, can they succeed at both?
