Okay finished Chapter 1.
Thoughts?
Ryoma is young looking, really good at tennis, and has an oversized ego. While I like how he knocked down the teenagers who were rude to him a peg, he needs to be knocked down too.
They've already mentioned the title of the series a few times in the first chapter. Love that about this series.
Sakuno seems like a nervous sweetheart.
Interested so far in seeing what happens next.

A question for those who follow me - should I put my thoughts behind spoilers? The series ended about 15 years ago, but some new people may get into it.
Please vote in the #poll.
Also, I'm not going to put commentary on every single chapter. May do like comments every 10 or so.

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.
@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..."
@To Absolutely!
