After a successful first season, it comes as no surprise that the high-school sports romance anime, Blue Box, has been renewed for a second season. Production is underway, and we expect the series to return sometime in the second half of 2026.
Blue Box is a Japanese Netflix Original anime series and the adaptation of Kouji Miura’s manga Ao no Hako. Telecom Animation Film is the studio behind the production of the anime, with Yūichirō Yano as the writer and director.
Taiki Inomata, a freshman of Eimei Senior High, is a member of the high school badminton team, is in love with Chinatsu Kano, a second-year and the ace of the girls’ basketball team.

How much of the manga will season 2 cover?
If the second season covers a similar number of chapters and volumes as the first season, then we would expect season 2 to end with the events of Volume 18, which covers chapters 154-162.
We’ll speculate that the second season will end with the events of chapter 161. Manga readers will understand why we’ve made this prediction.
