Prince of Tennis: The Hidden Strategist of Hyotei

Ye Ailin, a twelve-year-old boy of mixed British and Chinese heritage and a member of the British royal family, transfers to Hyotei Academy in search of some peace and quiet, as well as to carry out a secret “mission.” He possesses astonishing powers of observation and strategy, but his poor physical condition means he has to rely on others for protection. In the unfamiliar world of tennis, he reveals a fearsome talent that leaves even the prodigies in awe. Caught up in the whirlwind of the National Tournament, he must face not only formidable opponents on the court, but also Hyotei’s “princess” system, his family’s expectations, and the unwavering loyalty of the mysterious butler at his side. This is the story of a prince searching for his true crown in a world of tennis and friendship.
