Blue (2021)

Other name: ブルー

Description:

Blue plunges into the world of Nobuto Urita, a boxer whose love for the sport is as immense as his struggle within it. Despite his unyielding dedication and tireless effort, victory remains a distant dream, leaving him repeatedly defeated in the ring. His journey stands in stark contrast to Kazuki Ogawa, an elite talent who shares the same gym. Ogawa, blessed with natural skill, is on a clear path to championship glory, effortlessly outshining Urita in their spars. Further complicating Urita's already challenging life is Chika Amano, his childhood friend and first love, who is now engaged to the formidable Kazuki Ogawa. This intertwining of professional rivalry and profound personal history forces Urita to confront not only his boxing failures but also the deep emotional stakes of a love he never truly let go of, creating a compelling narrative of passion, heartbreak, and resilience.
