ok, prince of tennis first manga spoilers below. im not going to spoiler tag them because if you are here, its a given that you read pot first.
so here we are. have a gifted person, and watch him grow up or evolve, getting more and more imposable as that happens, i don't mind this is want makes a sport manga tolerable to me is some amount of out there ness. than came this pinnacle of hard work and all that crap, and was it just me or want ryoma suppose to be in the same league as his dad by the end of the first manga.
now i dont give the manga shit for the pinnacle shit, mainly because in alot of sports, especially ones with fighting 1 on 1, you can tend to see whats coming next with a certain level of skill. so all i saw those at were just a weird way to say they have that much skill.
than you have the stupid crap that they all go through...
basically the first manga ended, and i couldn't see it continuing with anything more than a oneshot of 10 years down the line.
now this mangaka, was suppose to take a lot of time off to make a new manga, not pot, when the first one finished. apparently he failed so much that he had to fall back on pot about a year later.
i personaly have no hope of this ever becoming anything worth reading.
BECAUSE
#1 - main character has to either take a few steps back in skill
or
#2 - characters have to be retardedly powerful, to the point of why arent they pros?
or
#3 - the main character has a retarded requirement to pull out potential that never gets met.
because this manga already ended at the right point i see no reason for more, and because of the authors own incompetence and having to fall back on something he already ended like this, i cant say this will ever be good.
