Taiki Loses to Haryu in Blue Box Chapter 208
Inside the gym, Taiki plays a practice match with Haryu but loses. Haryu makes fun of him, saying he got beaten by someone who has been away from the game for a while.
Haruto then shows up to challenge Haryu, but before they can start, Ayame arrives and ends practice, and reveals that it is time for gym cleanup.
She explains this is the reason third years came before the graduation, to show thanks to the gym that supported them.
Haryu and Hina Talk
While cleaning the outside stairs, Haryu runs into Hina. He asks her about the souvenir he requested from her Kyoto trip, and Hina admits she did buy one but lost it. She then says she cannot place Haryu above everyone else right now.
Haryu asks if it is because she is close friends with Taiki, and she admits that it will hurt but says she cannot win unless she tries because Taiki is the one who makes her feel the strongest.
Haruto Against Taiki
Haruto goes back to the gym, where Taiki and the others start a floor cleaning race. Already upset about Hina’s feelings, Haruto joins in, and the tension between him and Taiki grows. During the race Taiki is about to win, but Haruto tricks him by saying he saw Chinatsu’s stomach, distracting him and allowing Haruto to take the win.
Chinatsu and Hina in the Girls Race
Next, Chinatsu and the basketball and gym clubs join the race. Chinatsu greets Hina, and the race begins. The reward is juice, and Hina says she cannot always be on the losing side to Chinatsu.
She was not only talking about the race but also about losing Taiki to her. However, Hina is too light and cannot move well during the race, so Chinatsu wins. Even after it is over, Taiki and Kyo help guide Hina along the floor, showing support.

Third Year Reflections
Blue Box Chapter 208 closes with the third years talking about making small memories like cleaning together.
As Taiki and Chinatsu hold a bucket of water together, one of them comments that even simple moments like carrying a bucket with someone you like can still become special memories.
Blue Box Chapter 208 Review
Blue Box Chapter 208 shows that after the Kyoto trip, Hina has started to get closer to Taiki again. It becomes clear that she never fully moved on from him and was only hiding her true feelings.
Even though she knows Taiki loves Chinatsu and is already with her, Hina is still not ready to give up.
The love triangle seemed to have ended almost 100 chapters ago, but now Kouji Miura seems to be bringing it back, maybe to close it off in a proper way.
This could also be a chance for Hina to finally move forward and develop a new bond with Haruto.
The chapter itself was an enjoyable read. The cleaning races and small interactions between characters added some fun moments, while also showing Hina’s emotions clearly.
It is also nice that the story is giving attention to the third years before their graduation, making their last days more meaningful.
Blue Box Chapter 208 is now available to read on Manga Plus for free.
