Eimei Senior High’s cultural festival is about to start in Blue Box Episode 19. The Sajikawa vs. Eimei practice match just ended in the latest episode. Taiki won his match against Yusa, but Haryu lost to him.
This match was a big moment for Taiki. It helped him regain his confidence and finally shake off his self-doubt.
He now realizes how much he has improved in badminton. Even his teammates, who did not expect him to win, have acknowledged his growth.
Before this, they thought he would lose again, but this win proves he has gotten stronger. It also increases his chances of making it to nationals next year.
The Cultural Festival Arc started in Episode 16 and is still ongoing. It will most likely conclude in Blue Box Episode 19.
The festival gives Taiki and Chinatsu more chances to be together, and it even makes one of Taiki’s dreams come true, seeing Chinatsu senpai in a maid dress.
They get to spend some good time together, but things take a bad turn when a really messed-up rumor starts spreading, and it might end up pushing Chinatsu and Taiki apart again.

Warning: Major Spoilers From Blue Box Episode 19
Blue Box Episode 19: Chinatsu Dresses Up as a Maid
Manga readers have been waiting for Blue Box Episode 19 for a while now since so much is going to happen in just one episode.
From Hina dressing up as Snow White for the class play to Chinatsu wearing a maid outfit even though she said she would not, and Taiki suddenly getting the prince role last minute after the original actor got into an accident, this episode is packed.
It brings Chinatsu and Taiki even closer, but at the same time, things get messy. The play has a scene where Snow White and the prince “kiss” and even though Taiki somehow manages to survive that scene, things still take a bad turn.
The play goes well, but as always, Taiki’s luck is terrible, and an “accident” happens, and it starts rumors all over the school about him and Hina.
Chinatsu does not seem too bothered, but seeing Taiki and Hina, it did affect the relationship between her and Taiki.
After Taiki took her to the beach for her birthday and later apologized at the inn about the misunderstanding, the wall between them was finally gone. But now, because of this accident, a small wall is back between them again. Will Taiki be able to break it this time?
What Happened in Blue Box Episode 18?
Blue Box Episode 18 starts with Yusa practicing while other students watch and talk about how much he has improved. Some even say that even a second-year might not be able to beat him now. Taiki overhears this.
Yusa was supposed to play against Haryu, but at the last minute, he gets matched against Taiki instead. Hina and her friend, and Chinatsu, show up to watch the match.
While watching, Nagisa tells Chinatsu that she overheard her with a guy when she said she was with family.
Chinatsu then reveals the truth, she is living with Taiki because her parents are out of the country. Nagisa is shocked, but Chinatsu reassures her that Taiki is not that kind of guy.
The match starts and Taiki remembers how he lost against Yusa in the pre-qualifiers because he got too confident after scoring against Haryu. He realizes he needs to be way better if he wants to go to nationals.
As the match goes on, Taiki starts getting exhausted, but knowing how far he has come gives him confidence. The match is close but Taiki manages to win against Yusa.
After the match, Chinatsu congratulates him. Then, while talking, she brings up how Hina’s play at the festival has a kiss scene, which makes Taiki super awkward. He panics and runs away. Later, we learn that Haryu lost against Yusa.
Taiki goes home and falls asleep. In his dream, he sees himself winning nationals against Yusa, but then suddenly, both Chinatsu and Hina start fighting over him. He wakes up in shock.
Blue Box Episode 18 is now streaming on Netflix Japan.
