Challenging numerous stereotypes prevalent in romance anime and establishing itself as a progressive alternative to the often cringeworthy offerings, Blue Box Episode 20 unveiled a realm of new possibilities. By fostering a subjective dialogue regarding romantic inclinations and the diverse meanings of relationships, the previous episode adopted a mature perspective that traditional anime rarely considers.

As the aftermath of the school play continues to impact the characters, Blue Box Episode 21 is set to further this discussion while integrating the new character, Ayame, into the narrative.

Blue Box Episode 21 preview: What to expect?

The upcoming Episode 21, titled “Until the Flowers Bloom” (literal translation), as per the official anime website, follows the conclusion of the Eimei Academy festival, where complications are at their peak. The incident during the Snow White play has sparked rumors regarding a romantic involvement between Taiki and Hina.

This situation has exacerbated Taiki's internal conflict as he grapples with the decision of remaining devoted to Chinatsu or exploring the potential of developing feelings for Hina.

In an effort to resolve the misunderstanding, Chinatsu distances herself from Taiki and spends the night at her friend Karen's house. This sleepover presents her with the perfect opportunity to confide in Karen and reveal her secret. Additionally, the introduction of Ayame, who is unveiled as Karen's sister, adds a new dynamic to the storyline.

About Blue Box anime

With a total of 25 episodes planned, Blue Box has opted for a more extensive format, moving away from the less favored trend of limiting anime seasons to just 12 episodes. The first half of the inaugural season concluded on December 19. Following a week-long break, the series resumed with the second part on January 2, continuing its narrative in the new year.

The opening theme for the second part of the season is “Saraba” by Macaroni Empitsu, while TOMOO's “Contrast” serves as the new closing theme. Prior to the start of Part 2, the anime's officials unveiled a key visual that encapsulates the theme of the upcoming episodes. The tagline, “The one I like is,” effectively delves into Taiki's emotional struggles, as he navigates his feelings for Chinatsu while also contending with Hina's recent love confession.
