Blue Box chapter 164: Chono and Haruto’s Artistic Journey and Childhood Memories
The title of Blue Box chapter 164 is “Socially Awkward.”The chapter opened with a nostalgic flashback of Haruto’s first day at Eimei High School, where he faced reprimand for not wearing his tie correctly. The narrative then shifted back to the present, continuing from where the prior chapter left off, with Chono joining Haruto in a painting session after a clumsy student disrupted their work.
Chono was thrilled, having never painted on such a large canvas before, while Haruto voiced his frustration at her overstepping the lines. Chono patiently explained that painting begins with large strokes before working on the finer details.
She inquired formally if he should have consulted a classmate for assistance, to which Haruto replied that he felt accountable for the mishap. Chono labeled him as an “awkward dude,”teasing that he was even more socially awkward than he realized.
The chapter explored the childhood experiences of the Yusa brothers, Haruto and Shuji. Haruto often imitated his older brother, mirroring Shuji’s love for badminton and drawing. While Shuji excelled in badminton, Haruto found himself moderately skilled, prompting him to seek others to practice alongside.
When no one could keep up with him, Haruto resorted to observing Shuji during practice, even wrapping his racket in the same colored tape as his brother’s. However, one evening, when Shuji delayed his return home, their mother grew anxious and turned to Haruto for information about his brother’s whereabouts. After searching without success, they made their way to the local badminton court.
At the court, they discovered Shuji engaged in a game with adults. Shuji’s mother reprimanded him for neglecting to share the court with younger players, to which Shuji defended himself, stating he intended to return by curfew.
The adults praised Shuji as a generational talent, and on their return home, he invited them to play again. The following day, Haruto went to the badminton court and asked the same group to play with him. Unfortunately, he was told he wasn’t “good enough”and had to leave.
Back in the present, Chono recalled the tale of ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ illustrating that in true love, physical appearance isn’t significant. She articulated her belief that being cherished for one’s true self epitomizes genuine affection.
Just then, Haruto’s classmates arrived, questioning him about a black spot on the canvas. The student responsible for the mess quickly admitted his fault and fled in embarrassment. One of Haruto’s classmates chimed in, reassuring everyone that while Haruto might appear intimidating, he possesses a pure heart beneath the surface.
As laughter erupted, Chono evaluated that Haruto’s short-tempered yet kind nature truly defines him as Haruto Yusa. Blue Box chapter 164 concluded with Chono recognizing that ‘falling in love’ could stem from the joy of simply being seen by someone special.
