james_desantis 's review for:
The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 1, Volume 1
by Takeshi Konomi
A typical start to a sport manga but I'm intrigued where we can go from here.
Ryoma is a genius. His natural skill at Tennis is near unmatched. At only 12 years old he can already match high schoolers and is even better than some of them. This gives him a somewhat cocky viewpoint on things but what I did love was the fact he was still kind. Usually, Genius characters can be annoying but worked well for this type of character.
The art is great, with some wonderful details to the games being played. The character's designs are unique but not TOO over the top that it becomes silly. The start of him showing off but eventually bigger, stronger, better players enter the view he might be so lucky.
But yeah, I'm in. Started reading on Shonen so we got a ways to go before we're done here.
A 3.5 out of 5.
