Update: Blue Box Part 2 ended on Chapter 79‘s last panel from the manga, and the first season adapted the first eight arcs from the manga!
Blue Box anime is still going on and both parts of Season 1 are releasing together on Netflix. The anime started airing on October 3, and since Netflix has exclusive streaming rights you can only watch it there.
TMS Entertainment is producing the anime while Telecom Animation Film is handling the animation. Right now 18 episodes have been released, and Blue Box Episode 19 will be released on February 6th, 2025 on Netflix Japan.
In the manga, the 18th arc is ongoing, while in the anime, the 7th arc is being adapted right now.
Blue Box Part 2: Will It Cover the Confession Arc?
The first part of Season 1 ended with the Fireworks Festival arc. Since the anime is confirmed to have 25 episodes, Part 2 will fully cover the Autumn Training arc and maybe a glimpse of Yumeka’s Return Arc.
However, judging from the pace Blue Box is going and since Yumeka is not included in the opening song nor in the key visual of Blue Box Part 2, most likely, Yumeka’s character won’t be introduced in this part.
The Confession arc one of the most hyped arcs of the story, won’t be in Blue Lock Season 1 either. Blue Box Part 2 will probably end around in between Chapters 79-82.
The Confession Arc starts in Chapter 98, so if Blue Box gets a Season 2, that is when it will likely be adapted. However, since romance anime does not always get full adaptations, there is no guarantee it will happen.
