Prince of Tennis II

Sports manga should be in a weekly magazine, especially this one.
I don't know what else to say, reading this is very saturated because each chapter consists of only a few pages. I mean, seriously?
I have forgotten the story lol

To be honest, this manga is still far behind Haikyuu and the like, but it has its own uniqueness. Not that you have to be taken seriously and organized, even though many strange techniques are used, I don't mind it.

It's interesting, especially when Echizen turned around on the American team and had to fight his comrades in Japan.

Would anyone be so kind to upload the rest?

 

[Lilikoifish]

[justforthelulz]

Is the manga even trying anymore?

Ch.1 of Prince of Tennis: Watch a middle schooler upshow everyone with some pretty good & neat tennis skills.

Ch. 260 of New Prince of Tennis: Watch the same middle schooler serve deadly aces that break raquets/bones at the whim and also some weird "genjutsu n shit" tennis skills.

I'm sad that this sequel is the way it is. I really, really loved PoT (except Eiji's kagebunshin technique) and I was basically constantly excited. But this manga took a lot of wrong turns and didn't take advantage of cool plot points.

Spoiler

I personally think the set-up is really cool: a difficult training camp, then going and playing tennis against the world. Dope. I even really liked the plottwist of Ryoma going to play for the USA with Ryoga. But then they never really showed him playing, or playing with Ryoga (and goddamn I wanted to see them play doubles together), and he basically suddenly goes back to the Japan team? That was really out of nowhere and it felt strange. I get that they wanted him to be on the Japan team again, especially because then he can probably play agains Tezuka, but idk it felt weird. Also I couldn't help but just not be interested in any of the matches. I only read the ones Ryoma was in. With PoT it worked really well because there's a set 9 people to root for that you know the skills and boundaries of, and you want them all to succeed. Now the team is just way too large, I don't give a shit whether Japan progresses or not, because I don't necessarily want anyone to win, there is no connection between the reader and the characters. 40 people is just too many to root for. I also dislike the 'superpower'-esque techniques used. PoT was for the most part realistic (except Eiji), this story just isn't grounded in reality anymore. Hitting the ball after you've already hit it to the other side of the court? Wtf is that about? PoT was great because they explained how mind-blowing stuff like Tezuka's Zone worked in theory, so it was even slightly believable. NPoT doesn't care about realism at all. I'm sad about this, because there were a lot of moments that made me excited, but basically it all boiled down to Ryoma and he didn't really have a playing role for like 150 chapters after they start going to the WC.

you forgot Fuji, as much as I like his triple counters those were bullshit even with their how-they-work explanations lol

And don't forget the magical power of being so consistent at returning that your opponent loses their senses!
Although, sometimes it's felt like Nadal does that to people...

Eelzbean:

Spoiler

In the 300-series of chapters, you can see a new tech by Yukimura. Two other candidates for translation were "Senseless tennis" and "No-Sense tennis". Unfortunately more professional minds prevailed.

 

[eelzbean]

@miyo0 ah, I see, proper full detachment from the material world (while still trying to win)

 

[miyo0]

@eelzbean

Spoiler

Nonsense Tennis is powerful. We discussed how it worked for half an eternity (because we needed to translate the info dump and also because ???????). We couldn't come up with anything that made sense. Fitting for the name of the tech.
The translation is faithful to the original. The craziness is not an artifact.

 

[thejesoph]

I'm new here. Anyone know if there's a group working on the missing eng chapters?

 

[miyo0]

@thejesoph The group that uploaded the chapters up to 260 is, last time I heard.

 

[Kanami-chan]

Ten'imuhou was supposed to be like Ultra Instinct, but they're treating it like a normal Super Saiyan 1 power up now smh

 

[DooMWhitex]

@Kanami-chan Exactly like they did in DragonBall with the SS.

 

[Jalderbout]

Anyone know when chapters 261-295 comin out?
