アオのハコ [Ao no Hako]

In Ao no Hako (2021–present, Shueisha), a high school badminton player finds his daily life upended by secret feelings for an older, star basketball player on the same campus. This gentle, introspective manga, written and illustrated by Kōji Miura, balances the quiet ache of unrequited love with the intensity of competitive sports. With 24 issues and counting, it has become a standout in Shueisha's lineup for its nuanced portrayal of adolescence, where every stolen glance and grueling practice feels equally important.
