Prince of Tennis, Vol. 33

A tennis prodigy leads his handsome tennis club to victory at the national tournament. Four-time consecutive U.S. Junior tournament champ Ryoma Echizen comes to Seishun Academy to further his reign as The Prince of Tennis. His skill is matched only by his attitude--irking some but impressing all as he leads his team to the Nationals and beyond! The National Tournament quarterfinals against Hyotei continue, with Kunimitsu facing power player Munehiro Kabaji. During the match Seishun's captain flashes back to his time in Kyushu and the road that led him to the Nationals. Later, it's a battle of the Golden Pairs: Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori versus Oishi and Eiji! Takeshi Konomi exploded onto the manga scene with the incredible The Prince of Tennis . His refined art style and sleek character designs proved popular with Weekly Shonen Jump readers, and The Prince of Tennis became the number one sports manga in Japan almost overnight. Its cast of fascinating male tennis players attracted legions of female readers even though it was originally intended to be a boys' comic. The manga continues to be a success in Japan and has inspired a hit anime series, as well as several video games and mountains of merchandise.
