The Prince of Tennis: National Championship Chapter

Ryouma Echizen and Seishun Academy’s boys’ tennis team have finally earned a place at the National Tournament, arriving with their sights set on the championship. Their opening challenge comes from Higa Middle School, an Okinawa squad known as a tournament “dark horse” and already notorious for winning with underhanded tactics.

Determined to answer that approach with honest, hard-fought tennis, Seishun steps onto the national stage where every match carries weight. Waiting in the quarterfinals is a familiar name—Hyoutei Academy—an old rival looking to reclaim its pride after the Kanto Regionals and to justify its presence at Nationals after qualifying via special invitation. As the tournament begins, Seishun faces opponents old and new, each bringing a different philosophy about how the game should be played.
