Blue box mixes romance with sports with...well mixed results.

You got our main lead Taiki who plays Badminton while the other co-lead, and his crush, Chinatsu (I'll call her Chi for short) Plays basketball.

I do like the idea Taiki kind of a average player in his sport while Chi is a MVP of her team. This makes their challenges different, and more unique to the story. And the romance is sweet, with some really good funny moments that got me to chuckle.

I think the story feels a bit plain though. Nothing made me laugh out loud, or give me a exciting feeling while they were playing, and I think it lacks the bunch of a romance only love story or an exciting sports manga.

While the first volume didn't blow me away, it was still an enjoyable read for what it was. A 3 out of 5.
