What does the bracelet that Chinatsu gave to Taiki mean?

There is no doubt that 2024 is being a year of great relevance for fans of manga and Japanese animation. And in recent months we have had to say goodbye to such important mangas as Jujutsu Kaisen or My Hero Academia, a very beloved shonen in Japan that accumulated no less than 10 years of serialization. In contrast, we have been able to enjoy animes as promising as Taste o Kaiju No. 8.

The Blue Box is another of the most promising anime of the year. Its plot tells us the experiences of Taiki Inomata, a badminton enthusiast who is secretly in love with his partner Chinatsu. Thanks to an unexpected turn of events, the boy has had the opportunity to create a close bond with the student. In one of the most interesting scenes of the series, Chinatsu decided to give Taiki a bracelet that she created herself. What did you really want to convey with this small gift?
