The Prince of Tennis

Tennis prodigy Ryouma Echizen returns to Japan from America at his father’s urging, determined to prove himself at the top of the national middle school scene. He enrolls at Seishun Academy, a powerhouse known for its elite boys’ tennis team, and quickly draws attention with his talent and confidence.

Though only a first-year student, Ryouma earns a chance to fight for a starting position through the school’s ranking matches. His age makes some teammates hesitant to accept him at first, but his ability and resolve begin to win them over. With their “super rookie” in the lineup, Seishun aims for the National Tournament, battling through the Tokyo Prefectural and Kanto Regional qualifiers against formidable rival schools—each with its own distinctive approach to the sport—while learning the teamwork needed to chase a championship.
