Blue Box anime depicts a story of high school students who are working every bone and muscle in their body to represent their country internationally. Amidst these challenging situations and making their dreams come true, a small love story is also evolving with them. Two young sports enthusiasts, Inomata Taiki, and Chinatsu Kano, started at the right step, but suddenly something changed.
The latest episode of the Blue box anime series had a shift in its storyline. We saw that Kano felt the need to distance herself from Taiki. The entire episode kept fans confused about whether Kano did this on purpose or she was preparing herself to leave the house after she won the nationals.

Blue Box Episode 11: When is the episode coming out?
Episode 11 is titled Regional Preliminaries and is slated to come out on December 12, 2024. The series is available on Netflix. However, the latest episode left fans on a cliffhanger with Taiki and Kano distancing themselves for some unforeseeable reason.
Ao no Hako Episode 11 will be picked up from episode 10 ending. As the title teases a preliminary competition happening in the sports complex, fans might see some sports action. We can expect Kano’s preliminary matches for national selection, Taiki’s matches for inter-high matches, and also Hina’s gymnastics qualifying matches to be something that fans can expect.
The conversation that happened between Taiki and Kano to distance themselves for good could be one of the reasons the matches need undivided focus. Also, the summer vacations are beginning, and both Taiki and Kano will be busy with their stuff. Kyou and Hina are also planning to let loose this summer and travel. A lot is about to happen this coming week, so folks, do not miss the episode.
