The anime is based on the manga series by Kouji Miura, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump on April 12, 2021. Sixteen total tankobon volumes have been published as of August 2024, with a 17th volume due out on October 4, 2024. The manga originally began as a 2020 one-shot title. 

Viz Media releases the Blue Box manga series in English, which describes the main synopsis as:

Taiki admires Chinatsu from afar, but he doubts that she sees him in the same way. Yet somehow, he musters up the courage to tell her to never give up on her dreams! After such a bold declaration, will Taiki’s fleeting high school romance finally begin?
