The festival dates are running

It's both sweeter and more painful than you thought

The rest of Taiki and Hina's date, which is more than half the episode, is intense action. They did a really good job of showing both sides of the love triangle, so depending on the main character, the date went wonderfully or horribly.

For Hina fans out there, this episode is a disaster. You can definitely tell that Taiki and Hina No closer, but not really in a good way for their future, especially for Hina. During this date, Hina gets her hopes up unreasonably high, thinking that a romantic relationship with Taiki may now be on the cards. Little did he know that he was spending almost half of his time at the festival with his rival. Also, while Taiki is not there, Ito, a man who likes Hina, sees her alone and asks to sit next to her, which she refuses. Hina rejects the advances of other men because she likes Taiki may be cute, but it's like adding insult to injury, knowing that the man she was saving a seat for was with her boyfriend.

The only silver lining for Hina happened at the end of the episode, where Chinatsu finally admits that she has feelings for Taiki, but says that she will back off if it turns out that they are dating. Taiki and Hina. Sure, the situation is easily resolved, but this is a romantic anime; the protagonist overcorrecting for simple things like this happens all the time.

“There's something I wanted to ask you before. Are you dating Chono? Your answer…will change how I feel about being your housemate.” – Chinatsu on sleeping Taiki

Chinatsu fans got it right in the first half of the episode. Taiki meets Chinatsu at a festival caring for a lost little girl and helps her find her parents. Taiki and Chinatsu holding the hands of the little girls between them looked like two parents enjoying the festival with their children. After returning the girl, they spent more time and even watched fireworks together. Also, it's been talked about a lot in the last few episodes that Chinatsu finally developed feelings for Taiki, but fans really get to hear him say it in this one. In the ensuing conversation, Karen asks Chinatsu if she sees her partner as a man, not a friend. Chinatsu answered with a clear yes, which probably melted the hearts of all Taiki x Chinatsu fans everywhere.

Blue Box: The Best Players in Blue, Ranked

The Blue Box attracted readers with its relatable characters. Although they are all special, these special people are among the best.

There are many misconceptions

The fog of love and war thickens

hina to watch fireworks

Although it is a romantic anime, Blue box I wasn't really into the kind of people who have bad ideas about each other every two seconds, but that all changed in this episode. Almost everyone had some sort of misunderstanding about one or more of the characters here, which would have pissed off the audience, but it I done logically, it could have been worse. Here are some of the biggest misconceptions that came up during the episode.

  • As mentioned above, Hina falls under the illusion of him and Taiki gets closer to him in his romantic sense. Taiki may understand Hina better now, but he still considers her a close friend, so his feelings are safe. no argue with each other.

  • Ito, Hina's crush, may be under the impression that Hina and Taiki are dating, which may happen in the upcoming episode.

  • Taiki, the flamboyant protagonist that he is, is completely oblivious to how the two girls around him are now falling apart and thinks they still only see him as a friend.

  • The biggest misconception is the ending of the episode. Chinatsu also notices that Taiki and Hina may be dating, but is too shy to confront him about it. Chinatsu is now really in love with her and thinks about acting on her feelings, but seeing her with Hina messes things up.

As frustrating as it is to watch these misunderstandings, they will surely make the next episode Blue box more interesting. They give a lot to the viewers, because many viewers probably can't wait for the conflict and the resolution that these misconceptions must lead to.
