Ahead of Blue Box‘s 22nd episode broadcast on Thursday, the anime’s official website and accounts revealed the casting of Yuki Kaji (Kenma in Haikyu!!) as Kazuma Matsuoka, a member of Eimei High School’s boys’ basketball team who returns from studying abroad in the United States.
Based on the manga by Koji Miura, Yuichiro Yano (LUPIN THE 3rd PART 5) directs the Blue Box anime at studio Telecom Animation Film, with series composition by Yuko Kakihara (The Apothecary Diaries), character designs by Miho Tanino (Tower of God) and music by Takashi Omama (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury).
VIZ Media publishes an official English version of the manga and describes the story:
Taiki admires Chinatsu from afar, but he doubts that she sees him in the same way. Yet somehow, he musters up the courage to tell her to never give up on her dreams! After such a bold declaration, will Taiki’s fleeting high school romance finally begin?
