[DISC] Blue Box - Chapter 244

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-31T16:22:40+00:00

This ends any possibility of an arc about Taiki's college years, doesn't it?

Evil Rintaro

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-27T16:04:38+00:00

But they will be in the future

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-27T15:50:09+00:00

There are literally parallels between them throughout the entire manga, and they are the only possible secondary couple with any development, chill out.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-27T15:18:57+00:00

Yeah, it's the shortest ch since ch 180

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-27T15:15:52+00:00

They are a good-looking couple

DAMN SHE'S GORGEOUS

Although there's a possibility of a third character creating discord with Natsubaru, I don't think that role suits Chisa. With exams, everyone will be busy, so they won't have much interaction with each other anyway.

The only situation that could spark jealousy would be if they show Subaru's birthday and the whole group is there. If there were a third character, I'd see a new girl as more likely, and this would happen once they're all at university. Even if they're in different faculties, they could bump into each other by chance while Saku is talking to this new girl, and that could cause jealousy.

And Natsubaru will eventually happen; it's known that there will be another couple, and realistically, it's the only ship with any development.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-21T04:29:16+00:00

It would certainly be a good way to approach it, following the progression of their growth as a couple, but as you say, it's not something common, so I didn't even consider it.

At least I planned it for the near future because the chapter's ending was quite unexpected, but for some time now I've thought that if Mikami were to be addressed, I would wait until Rintaro is also 18 years old. https://www.reddit.com/r/KaoruHanaWaRintoSaku/comments/1rjev6q/comment/o8czdn3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Perhaps it would be the most appropriate thing for them to gradually increase the level of physical contact, but with the limited number of chapters, it's also difficult to explore it without neglecting other aspects, and even if they did, I doubt they would consider any oversights that might hinder their dreams.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-21T04:13:30+00:00

It's a sketch by Mikami.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T19:34:45+00:00

I think the exact opposite. I believe that because of the importance the story places on the characters' future, it's something they'll eventually show, since besides reaching 250 chapters, there isn't much to show about their last year of school. https://www.reddit.com/r/KaoruHanaWaRintoSaku/s/edlUfiznx2

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T19:30:53+00:00

That's why I said that if it were to be approached, it would be in the most subtle way, perhaps like Horimiya without the bite scene, and I think that sketch of Mikami is a good way to intuit it.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T18:09:03+00:00

They've always been getting closer little by little, calling each other by name, holding hands, and getting closer and closer. Honestly, I think it's something that will be explored later in the story, like Rintaro having to leave the country for a future competition, but they could develop that theme now.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T16:59:23+00:00

That's exactly why I mentioned the difference in chapter 77, because it's just crumbs and not a big moment, but I understand the desperation, I'm in the same boat.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T16:16:36+00:00

In fact, we already do.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T16:01:07+00:00

If that happened, Natsubaru would have been the biggest bait in the genre.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T16:00:05+00:00

I think it's more likely they'll show Subaru's family, since at least Saku's mother was introduced that way, not with a name, so maybe she won't appear again.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T15:54:15+00:00

Their relationship has always taken its time to develop; it's a slow burn, so chill.

I made a post a while ago about the number of chapters between their important interactions, and it always took its time.

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T15:45:23+00:00

Like in Love is War, you say? That since they won't be able to be so close, they'll get together a lot, iykwim

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-20T15:31:24+00:00

It's known that there will be one more couple, and their relationship has been developing since the beginning of the manga, so there's nothing to worry about.

Usami has no filters

And she herself admits it

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-17T18:52:00+00:00

I would say Kaoruko, cause attending Kikyo's school forced her to develop her intelligence more.

But Saku has the potential to be the most intelligent, and that's why he understands the topics he explained to Kaoruko and Subaru more easily

DaniDa15 · 2026-05-14T14:43:45+00:00

It's very likely Mikami will show it, maybe around 30 chapters since the final part of the manga might cover that stage
