Blue Box episode 12 recap
Episode 12, titled "Girls...," begins with Imada spotting Taiki and Hina together at the Fireworks Festival, while Chinatsu notices them but remains silent. Taiki observes Hina’s unusual quietness, while Hina nervously hopes for his compliments. They find a spot to watch the fireworks, and when a mosquito bites Hina, Taiki applies anti-itch cream, noticing her effort to dress up. He compliments her, lifting her mood.
Later, Taiki leaves to find a restroom and encounters Chinatsu, who is helping a lost child. They decide to take the child to the organizer’s tent. Meanwhile, Hina meets Ito and her group, who suggest watching the fireworks together with Hina and Taiki.
The scene shifts to Taiki and Chinatsu meeting Karen, Haryu’s girlfriend, who recognizes Chinatsu from elementary school. Karen’s comments about Taiki’s grit leave him puzzled. After Karen departs, Taiki and Chinatsu learn the child’s mother is still searching. Taiki goes to find her while Chinatsu stays with the child, who gifts Chinatsu a brooch.
As fireworks resume, Chinatsu and Taiki part ways, and Taiki rushes back to apologize to Hina. Hina expresses her wish to return next year, hinting she hopes it will be just the two of them. Meanwhile, Chinatsu’s friend Nagisa notices her brooch and sadness.
The next morning, Chinatsu learns Taiki went for an early run, motivated to improve his stamina. At practice, Taiki asks Kyo for extra training. Later, Chinatsu finds Taiki asleep and quietly questions his honesty about attending the festival with Hina, expressing her feelings of loneliness.
The episode ends with Chinatsu’s growing feelings for Taiki, adding complexity to their relationship.
What to expect from Blue Box episode 13?
The next episode of Blue Box is poised to delve deeper into the evolving relationships and personal growth of the main characters.

Viewers can expect her to navigate these feelings while maintaining her reserved demeanor, possibly influencing her interactions with Taiki in subtle but meaningful ways.
The next episode may explore Taiki's rigorous training sessions with Kyo, pushing himself to prove his worth and match the level of players like Haryu and Yusa. The newfound dedication could bring moments of bonding or conflict with his teammates, including Chinatsu, as they train together.
Additionally, Hina’s heartfelt wish to return to the festival with Taiki next year hints at her growing attachment. This could lead to more moments of vulnerability or attempts to grow closer to Taiki. As tensions build and feelings intertwine, the episode will likely blend emotional depth with the ongoing pursuit of their athletic dreams, making for a compelling continuation.
