The National Tournament continues as Ryouma Echizen and the Seishun Academy Boys’ Tennis Team face last year’s semifinalist, Shitenhouji Middle School. Having won the Kansai Regionals, Shitenhouji is among the top contenders for the title, and each member of the team is reported to possess skills that surpass their Seishun counterparts. The squad also includes Kintarou Tooyama, a “super rookie” whose strength and technique rival Ryouma’s. To stand a chance against the Kansai champions, Seishun will need to push the limits of their abilities in this East‑versus‑West showdown.
