Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I'm thrilled about the potential anime adaptation of Blue Box. The manga is a fantastic blend of sports and romance, and I believe it would translate well to the anime medium. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the story is both heartwarming and exciting. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the anime will handle the romantic elements of the story, as they are a big part of what makes the manga so enjoyable.
Overall, I'm very excited about the Blue Box stage at Jump Festa 2024. I'm hoping for some exciting announcements about the anime adaptation, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this amazing series.
