Blue Box Chapter 198 Release Date & Where To Read

Taiki Inomata is a hardworking student and athlete at Eimei Junior and Senior High, a school known for its strong sports teams. Taiki is a member of the boys’ badminton team. Every day, he wakes up early to train and improve his skills. He is quiet and serious about reaching his goals, but there’s something more that motivates him to get up so early—Chinatsu Kano, a tall and talented basketball player from the girls’ team.

Chinatsu is in her third year, older than Taiki, and already one of the school’s top athletes. She’s confident, skilled, and admired by many students. Taiki has been quietly in love with her for a long time. Though they don’t talk much at first, they train side by side in the gym every morning. Over time, their morning routines bring them closer together.

Then one spring day, something unexpected happens. Due to family reasons, Chinatsu moves into Taiki’s house! Their parents are close friends, and now Chinatsu will be staying with the Inomata family until things settle down.
Taiki can’t believe it. The girl he has a huge crush on is now living under the same roof! At first, it’s awkward. He’s nervous around her and tries not to do anything embarrassing. But as the days go by, they slowly get used to the new situation.

Blue Box Plot

Living together brings new challenges. Taiki sees different sides of Chinatsu—how hard she works, how kind she is, but also how much pressure she’s under. Chinatsu also begins to notice Taiki’s efforts, not just in badminton but in how he supports those around him.

Both Taiki and Chinatsu are chasing their dreams. Taiki wants to reach the national badminton tournament. Chinatsu wants to win a championship before graduating. They encourage each other during tough times, share laughs, and grow closer in small but meaningful ways.

Though Taiki still hasn’t told Chinatsu how he feels, their bond continues to grow. The story focuses on the emotions of youth—first love, self-improvement, and the desire to be someone worthy of the person you admire.

Taiki trains harder than ever, not only for himself but also because he wants Chinatsu to see him as someone strong and reliable. Even though they’re from different sports, they both understand what it means to push beyond limits.

This series is not just about sports. It’s about how young hearts grow and learn. It shows the quiet and sweet moments between two people trying to understand each other while also chasing their personal goals.
