Man, Blue Box really hooked everyone this year with its mix of badminton action, high school vibes, and that super slow-burn romance between Taiki and Chinatsu. The first season ran 25 episodes straight through from fall 2024 into spring 2025, wrapping up in late March. Fans couldn’t get enough of the emotional highs during tournaments and those quiet moments that just hit different.
Right as the finale dropped, the team hit us with the big news: season 2 is happening! They shared a teaser video recapping all the feels from season 1 and a fresh visual to get everyone hyped.
Blue Box Season 2 Release Date Speculations
As of mid-December 2025, no official premiere date has landed yet. Anime production takes time—usually 12 to 18 months after a renewal like this. With the announcement coming hot off the season 1 finale in March, guesses point toward late 2026 or maybe early 2027 for the return. Some folks online are hoping for winter 2026, but nothing confirmed. Jump Festa this month might drop a trailer or window, so that’s worth watching.
Blue Box Season 2 Expected Cast
The voice performances in season 1 were spot-on, bringing out all the awkward crushes and intense matches perfectly. The core cast should come back:
- Shoya Chiba voicing Taiki Inomata, the hardworking badminton guy
- Reina Ueda as Chinatsu Kano, the cool basketball senior
- Akari Kito playing Hina Chono, Taiki’s energetic childhood friend
- Chiaki Kobayashi as Kyo Kasahara
- Yuma Uchida as Kengo Haryu
No word on new voices yet, but later manga arcs bring in rivals and side characters that could mean fresh additions down the line.
Blue Box Season 2 Potential Plot
The story picks up with Taiki chasing his nationals dream in badminton while navigating life with Chinatsu living at his place. Season 1 covered roughly up to chapter 100 or so of Kouji Miura’s manga, hitting big moments in their relationship, the love triangle with Hina, and some tough tournaments.
Season 2 ought to crank up the romance as things get closer between Taiki and Chinatsu, throw in more growth for everyone, fiercer sports rivalries, and those gut-punch emotional beats. The manga’s still going strong with over 23 volumes out now, so there’s tons of material for deeper arcs, new faces shaking things up, and more of that perfect blend of sweat, tears, and heart flutters.
