The Blue Box anime is based on the manga written and illustrated by Kouji Miura, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since 2021.
VIZ Media publishes the series in English and describes the story as:
Taiki admires Chinatsu from afar, but he doubts that she sees him in the same way. Yet somehow, he musters up the courage to tell her to never give up on her dreams! After such a bold declaration, will Taiki’s fleeting high school romance finally begin?
