Prince of Tennis: The Only Painted Shadow

He was Tezuka Kunimitsu, the pillar of Seishun Academy: disciplined and aloof, he devoted his life to tennis and duty alone.

She was Tsukishima Rin, the ace of the art club: sensitive and gentle, she had buried her dreams of tennis because of an old injury.

An accident exposed the countless sketches of Tezuka's profile that Tsukishima had drawn, right in front of the man himself.

From then on, the barriers between their worlds came down.

He understood the tenderness beneath her icy exterior, and she healed the wounds he had hidden deep in his heart.

They might bicker over a cup of sour jealousy, but they would also hold each other close beneath the lights on a snowy night.

And beyond this story, countless parallel worlds spun out from different “what ifs,” each unfolding their fated encounters.

No matter how the timelines changed, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Tsukishima Rin were destined to fall in love.
