Blue Box takes Taiki and Chinatsu to a fireworks festival after exams, with their relationship still a secret. Summer vacation offers time for a date, but a public event also brings the possibility of meeting people from school. This is for readers following the practical complications of being together: the question has moved beyond private attraction to who else can know. The holiday setting offers space for romance without removing the surrounding social world.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Running into other Eimei students makes secrecy a shared task. Taiki and Chinatsu cannot control a festival crowd simply because they have planned a private date within it. The advertised interruption gives their relationship a different problem from winning reciprocation: being together while managing other people's access to that fact. This is not the reason to buy the run for another qualifying match. Its appeal is the mismatch between a public celebration and a private arrangement. Fireworks create an occasion to meet, but the same occasion draws the classmates from whom they are trying to stay unnoticed.
