New Prince of Tennis

A new series of Prince of Tennis (manga) was released last week. It will not be released on the weekly Shonen Jump Magazine but on Square Square. And so chapters will be released on a monthly basis.

The story starts with the Japan U-17 (under 17) Selection Team Training Camp. Ryoma Echizen just came back from America to join the training camp. His appearance was really flashy. The selection of high school and middle school students were filtered by having them catch at least one of the tennis balls that were dropped from a helicopter. Ryoma took the last tennis ball just when the arrogant high schoolers were about to get the ball.

I hope the series will offer something new in the series aside from the flashy tennis techniques. I wonder if Ryoma still has a room for growth.
