Yeah, I know, sequels usually aren't as good, but I don't care. Prince of Tennis was just too good. I was so sad when Prince of Tennis was finished. I'm so glad the mangaka decided to keep the series going. I'll be able to read more about Ryoma and others now. I'm super excited for Shin Prince of Tennis. It's just like the first one, full of action/fantasy elements in a tennis manga. If you didn't like the first one, well you're probably not going to like the second. But if you absolutely LOVED the first one, you'll definitely love Shin Prince of Tennis.

There are a lot of people saying that this sequel is just a piece of shit. Personally, I think they don't understand anything. Konomi-sensei, sice the very beginning, wrote Prince of Tennis series just as an INTRODUCTION to this story. You may not like it, but that's how is it.

I still love the characters, and finally Ryoga has appeared in the manga! =)

The only thing I feel dissappointed with are the few chapters on each chapter, but well, there are 2 chapters per month, after all.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the chapters ^_^

I was a fan of the prequel even though it had those retarded-like super special moves and stuff. I was delighted when I found out there will be a sequel but when I read the first chapter, I knew that the next volumes were going to end in disaster.

First of all, why didn't the mangaka just bury it already?! PoT's finished, everyone's done with the craptastic tennis, the 3rd years graduated, Ryoma went to America. Why was there a need for a sequel, especially in a time setting where they were still in middle school? I can only smell money here, phishing out all the money they can from the fans while PoT is still hot. I mean, every chapter was thin, the chapters had about 15 pages of ridiculous "tennis matches" and IT WAS EXPENSIVE than the normal tankoubon! What's with that!

And don't even get me started with the art. It NEVER changed, the characters were still stick-like figures with height like that of a giant's despite them being middle and high schoolers. There was totally no development in the characters, the story and the mangaka's skills as well.

But I continued reading it to give it a try, after all, I can see my favorite characters again. It was too much. I sold the 7 volumes that I had. What a total waste of time and money. I don't get how people can easily say it's "PARFEEEECT 10+++!!" in spite of the stupidity going on in front of their eyes. But eh, it comes down to people's preferences. Have fun everyone. bigrazz

I was soo excited about a new series like everyone here =) ... with the first series I actually jumped a couple of times while reading it when I was excited but also tensed =P ... but I was very disappointed with Shin Tennis no Oujisama ... it started well but then I got really confused with the story ... it follows someone and then the next chapter it's someone else! WTH! ... I won't give a 1 though because I still like reading it ... don't really know the reason though :/

It's a good idea for a continuation but is poorly done. It now just seems to be the POT again just more silly.

Was excited for the follow up but after the initial match ups, this series falls off a cliff storywise. Too contrived & forced to point of absurdity except it's not funny. If there isn't going to be character development, the non-stop action should be exciting; but unfortunately, no. Little/no suspense, never mind context. Sad to see the gutting & killing of a what was a better series. Ah, well. On to the next on!

It would seem as if a lot of people don't like this sequel but I have to say that I love it...before it was mostly about seigaku members but now that they are going up against high schoolers it's more about other middle schoolers too... Like all the other team members that were in the prequel... I love their teamwork.. It's a very nice readi have to say.. I'm totally addicted

At first, I was pretty excited about a continuation. Though, to be perfectly honest, I was already quite satisfied with the ending of PoT. SPoT just broke my expectations (Not in a good way...). The battles are short, or, should I say, are not elaborated upon. Up to the latest chapter (currently 65), I don't know if I'll be able to continue.There is no explanation as to how middle schoolers are suddenly so exponentially strong, and able to suddenly pull out potential and strength that no one could have seen....
Nothing was explained, it was literally 2 pagers / middle schooler / match...

What is this vile piece of **** that has dared to stain my eyes? I wish I could cry to clean them out, but sadly I cannot shed a single tear. Certainly not for this series for I weep out of sadness rather than pity, and truly this series is the most pitiful one I've read so far. It's sad to think that this series continues while other far greater ones are canceled before their prime.

I'm simply at a loss as to how people rated this a 10. Hell, even some of the comments of other reviewers make me wonder if they're delusional or simply stupid.

- This series has no amazing battles. Each one lasts a split second without anything truly gained or lost.

- This series has no character development. I waded through 60 chapters of this !@#$ and not once did I see a single person change. Sure there was power creep beyond belief but not anything deeper. There couldn't have been as characters are cycled in for one chapter and then disappear the next.

- This series has no suspense. Suspense requires a connection to what you're reading, and there is no connection to be made. Not to the soon-to-be forgotten characters, to the inhuman struggles of a middle-school tennis player who can't hit 15 balls at once, nor to a plot that holds no sense of structure. You get 2 pages of fluff where the players are introduced with trash talk about their victory, 3 pages to show the match, and then a repeat to finish off the chapter.

- This series isn't like the original. The original starts off slow as it introduces the characters, and then you see as the 7 members of Saigaku compete against other teams. This one doesn't follow any character specifically; it takes all the team members from the original and has them randomly compete against a barrage of new opponents whom, like I said earlier, disappear into oblivion after their split second battle.

PS: A rank of 10 means perfection where you wonder where this series was all your life. Ok, maybe not that extreme but it's easily one of the best you've ever read. If it were possible, my rating would be negative because I want the time wasted on this series back.

this doesn't follow the same storyline- he didn't do the US Open in the manga.

this story is very entertaining. i'm enjoying the shifts in dynamics among familiar characters and the introduction of new faces. the tennis itself is entertaining but also the shounen aspect of the story since it's so wild. nobody should expect reality-based shounen. i mean, in fighting stories the level of ridiculous reaches gargantuan proportions.
