Will the Blue Box manga end in 2026?

We don’t know if Blue Box will be ending in 2026. Kouji Miura confirmed in late 2025 that Blue Box was nearing the end of its story, but didn’t go as far as to say how many more chapters we should expect from the manga. It is possible that the manga will end in the next few months, but we might not know until just before the end comes.

Do Taiki and Chinatsu end up together?

Yes, Taiki and Chinatsu end up together in Blue Box, which can be reassuring for fans of other romance manga where they can have years of build-up without the emotional payoff they’re after. We won’t say exactly when the pair finally end up together, but they do end up together.
