Blue Box, Vol. 19

A badminton guy falls for a basketball girl. Do these sports-crossed lovers have a chance?

Taiki Inomata loves badminton, but he has a long way to go before he can reach nationals. When Taiki sees upperclassman Chinatsu Kano practicing her heart out on the girls’ basketball team, he falls for her hard. After an unexpected turn of events brings the two closer together, sports might not be the first thing on their minds anymore!

Love is in the air as the culture festival rolls around again! Ayame finally recognizes her feelings for Kyo, but seeing him with Saki leaves her heartbroken. Meanwhile, Taiki hopes to spend time with Chinatsu without worrying about secrets for once—but it feels like the universe is trying to keep them apart!
