Apologies in advance for the upcoming bunch of manga I'm about to add to my Goodreads

This was a really cute start to what is sure to be a wholesome series. I played a lot of badminton so it's fun to see badminton in manga form haha, and I haven't read a sports manga with such a large focus on romance before which I'm really liking

Un très bon début de série qui donne envie de découvrir la suite rapidement !

Pour les personnes qui me suivent depuis un moment, vous connaissez mon amour pour Haikyu, les shônen autour du sport et les p'tites romances sympathiques : "Blue Box" résume parfaitement ce melting pot que j'adore.

On suit deux personnages attachants et motivés dans leurs propres disciplines sportives. Ils sacrifient énormément de leur quotidien pour faire du mieux qu'ils peuvent et se surpasser. Personnellement, je trouve ça très beau à lire et à voir. Ça me donne aussi envie de me motiver à tenir une discipline.

Pour info, la romance est plutôt bien amenée dans l'histoire (actuellement dans ce premier tome, on comprends juste que la relation est en "one side").

Donc vous allez me dire ? Mais pourquoi tu n'as pas mis 5/5 si c'est tout ce que tu aimes.
J'ai envie de vous répondre que je veux voir si cela va redescendre ou si la suite va continuer sur la lancée que j'imagine. J'avoue avoir très peur de retomber dans le cliché et de ne plus avoir le focus premier donc... à voir :).

En tout cas, je vous recommande d'y jeter un coup d'oeil et de vous faire votre propre avis sur le sujet.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

"Blue Box" is a really cute manga about a high school crush between a first year boy on the badminton team and a second year girl on the basketball team. I really like Taiki, the boy's, character as he wants to push himself to go to nationals not only for the girl, Chinatsu, but just because he really loves badminton. His hard work and dedication is invigorating and I like the story mostly because of his character.
