10 chapters down. Thoughts so far.

It gets better. Ryoma is still a super arrogant turd, but I like him using his massive skills to take down older, equally arrogant players. It's also interesting to see him adapt to different players and play styles.

Kaido will be a fun rival to Ryoma. He is close to Ryoma in skill, but never expects when others are close to that skill level.

Sakuna definitely is crushing on Ryoma.

10 more chapters down. Now I am through Chapter 20.

More thoughts: I appreciate how Ryoma uses his skills to knock down people who are arrogant jerks to help his friends. It's ironic that he doesn't get that he too s an arrogant turd.

We learn more about his Dad, but not much. Would like to see more.

I appreciate seeing a weakness in Ryoma's game, even if it is just about him playing doubles.

Through Chapter 30.

This section begins a tournament arc and forces Ryoma to work with others. I really appreciated it and seeing him learn to adjust / adapt especially in a doubles setting.

I think once we get into tournaments like this and we see the full cast in action, I'm going to enjoy this series more than just Ryoma being an arrogant, but skilled turd.

@mdmrn spoilers are only for new series in the past year or so in my opinion in any media.

@gnitro I mean, that's fair. I wasn't sure. I definitely do for any weekly stuff I read, but for something that ended in 2008 - wasn't sure if it made sense to hide behind a spoiler.

@mdmrn Ryoma meeting other lefties is always exciting. He's the Inigo Montoya of the PoT universe. Always fun when he starts with his right hand.

@mdmrn I also don't like him very much but the upcoming match is one of my favorites in the whole series.

@mdmrn I have to agree. The whole arc fits the character perfectly. Great, little villain between the really important tournaments.

@mdmrn Tournaments are so important for the series. Ryoma isn't a favorite of mine, even if his arrogance is backed up with skill, but these arcs put all my favorite characters in the spotlight. I'm always excited about matches involving Momo, Fuji or the golden pair 😍

@To Ryoma is an arrogant little turd, I like seeing him put in his place...which is rare, but he is the titular "Prince of Tennis..."

@mdmrn It's true, but he still has a long way to go to become the King of Tennis 😁

@Tiro Slow isn't bad. And, I mean, I caught up on One Piece well after it hit 1,000 chapters and just finished the Bleach manga. What's a few hundred chapters between friends? :blobfingerguns:

@mdmrn Sure, I also finished it despite it becoming what it did. I quite liked the characters so I'll try to read more of the Hokago 4-koma eventually but I'm not reading New Prince of Tennis. Ever.
