Four-time consecutive U.S. Junior tournament champ Ryoma Echizen comes to Seishun Academy to further his reign as The Prince of Tennis. His skill is matched only by his attitude--irking some but impressing all as he leads his team to the Nationals and beyond!

The next round of games are underway, and Seishun's Takeshi Momoshiro ("Momo") encounters Kiyosumi in the No. 3 Singles. Momo's in for a hard day's work, as Kiyosumi proves to be a intimidating opponent from the moment he launches his "Kohou" (Tiger Cannon), or wallop serve. Meanwhile, the Prince of Tennis Ryoma Echizen faces Yamabuki's Jin in the No. 2 Singles. Discover the "reason" why Jin can't possibly lose...
