Synopsis

[Rikkai Dai-focused + 16 straight Kanto titles + 3 straight national titles + Yukimura romance + Original female protagonist who plays tennis] At this point, this doesn’t really seem like a wish-fulfillment romance anymore... (Edited June 4, 2026) [Synopsis] When asked, “Why did you choose to play tennis?”, Byodoin Do’s mind always filled with the faces of a few people: Her older brother, Byodoin Hoo, who introduced her to tennis; former pro player Echizen Nanjirō, who helped popularize the sport in Japan; and Yukimura, who seemed to sparkle whenever he stepped onto the court. “Ah, why do you think?” Byodoin Do replied with a smile. Maybe she simply wanted to play tennis. [TIPS] 1. Yukimura romance, with a slow-burn relationship. The writing is as simple as a worm’s, and at its heart this is a passionate, early-romance wish-fulfillment story. It mainly covers Prince of Tennis and The New Prince of Tennis, with plots from other anime and games making appearances, though they won’t affect the main storyline. 2. Original female protagonist. 3. Rikkai Dai will win three consecutive national titles, and there will be original junior characters. 4. Contains out-of-character behavior and many unconventional headcanons, so proceed with caution. The canon research goes up to the training camp in the mountains, but there are plenty of headcanons. Everything serves the story. 5. The timelines of Prince of Tennis, real life, and other works do not correspond in any simple, one-to-one way. 6. The story centers on the female protagonist and uses a limited point of view. Please bear with it. 7. The typos and plot holes in the story can no longer be fixed. If you spot any, please ignore them QAQ
