Netflix’s current streaming anime series, Blue Box, recently dropped a new episode. The episode, “Wish Me Luck,” brings an interesting touch to the series. On one side, Taiki and Kano are slowly coming closer, but in the recent episode, we see that Hina Chouno’s feelings have started to surface. So, will this make any difference to Taiki and Kano’s budding friendship? Let’s dive in to know more.
Hina Chouno feels confused seeing Taiki Inomata and Chinatsu Kano under the same roof: Blue Box Episode 6 Recap.
In episode 6, ‘Wish Me Luck,’ Chouno sees Chinatsu Kano in Taiki Inomata’s house. At first, she seems a bit confused, but later she understands that she too lives there. She suddenly feels a bit sad. Before she could return the umbrella and Kano’s phone, she acted like everything was fine. She appears in front of them and asks Taiki why they are both living together.
At first, Kano and Taiki both seem a bit shaken, but Kano smiles at Hina and welcomes her in. Taiki tells Kano everything, and she agrees to forgive him only if he carries the weight for straight five hours. She leaves his house and gives the thought about Kano and Taiki’s closeness. They are practically living together, and this means they get to spend time together more often.
The next Hina puts up a great routine, and everyone appreciates her. She tries to avoid Taiki’s gaze and starts to distance herself so that Kano might not see them as closer friends. The next few days seem heavy on Hina. She begins to feel hurt that Kano and Taiki are together. She starts to sense that she too has some feelings for Taiki. Her national qualifying dates are approaching, and with this attitude, she might lose her focus.
The thing she might lose, Hina tries to cope with things and finally comes back to her behavior. Even Taiki seems to be a bit worried about her. On his way to practice, he bumps into Hina, and she almost hurts herself. She thinks she might sprain her ankle, but it doesn’t happen. Taiki takes her to the nursing room and tells her to rest. At first, she rejects it so that Kano might not feel threatened by her closeness with Taiki, but Taiki assures her that she is his friend.
Seeing this, Hina feels fine and asks him to wish her luck. Taiki wishes her good luck. The next day, she wins the qualifying match and is back to normal. Later, at home, Kano and Taiki bump into each other on the staircase. She wishes him congratulations on Hina’s winning. Taiki says that Hina is a big gymnastic girl fan. This makes Kano remember that similar thing Hina said about Taiki. So, does it mean Hina and Taiki are mind-alike?
