Blue Box Synopsis

Taiki Inomata, a third-year high school student, attends Eimei Academy, an integrated school with a strong sports program. Having joined the high school badminton team, Taiki tries to participate in open training as soon as possible. But no matter how early he gets there, he always comes in second in the academy. The person who is one step ahead of him is Chinatsu Kano, a first-year high school student with a crush on Taiki. Chinatsu is the rising star of the basketball team, and the gap between her and Taiki couldn't be greater.

Although Taiki is a decent badminton player, his popularity is nowhere near that of Chinatsu, 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 to Chinatsu, Taiki pursues the same dream as his girlfriend: to participate in the Nationals. Taiki begins training harder than ever, all in order to establish a solid relationship with his new roommate.
