The first season of “Blue Box” has concluded, marking one of the saddest endings in contemporary romance anime. This is quite unusual, given the series’ cheerful and lively tone. However, if you’ve been rooting for Taiki and Chinatsu all along, the ending might not seem as distressing to you. But for many viewers, including those who favor Chinatsu over Hina, the moment when Taiki formally declines Hina is incredibly heart-wrenching. This scene might even rank among the most devastating rejections, comparable to the one between Subaru and Rem in “Re:Zero,” in terms of its emotional impact.
