Blue Box Synopsis
Taiki Inomata, a third-year high school
student, attends Eimei Academy, an integrated school with a major sports
program. Having joined the high school badminton team, Taiki tries to attend
open training as soon as possible. But no matter how early he goes, he always
arrives second to the gym. The person who is one step ahead of him is Chinatsu
Kano, a first-year high school student who is in love with Taiki. Chinatsu is
the rising star of the basketball team, and the difference between her and
Taiki couldn't be greater.
Although Taiki is a decent badminton
player, his popularity is nowhere near Chinatsu's, making it even less likely
that his feelings will be reciprocated. However, in a strange twist of fate, he
ends up living in Taiki's house! Wanting to become a worthy rival for Chinatsu,
Taiki pursues the same dream as his lover: participating in the Nationals.
Taiki begins to train harder than ever, all in order to establish a solid
relationship with his new housemate.
