The Prince of Tennis + GetBackers: Hualing

This is still a story about growing up.

No one's path to adulthood is always smooth. She has simply had a few more bumps along the way than others. But no matter what life throws at her, her determination has never changed: she wants to find her older brother, the brother who shares her blood.

And if she happens to bring a beauty home along the way, all the better.

Really, this is just a heartwarming story about a little sister looking for her brother.

Everyone has dreams of one kind or another. For now, Hua Ling only wants to find her brother again. No matter how much others deny it, she firmly believes he has not forgotten the promise they made back then! She may lose a lot along the way, but she has always believed she will gain more than she loses. At the very least, one day she will be able to tell everyone:

"I have no regrets."

Reader's note: 1. Although this story is a crossover between The Prince of Tennis and GetBackers, the GetBackers plot plays only a small part, so readers who haven't read it can enjoy this story too. The story skips the middle school arc of The Prince of Tennis and goes straight to high school (I just can't write the goddess getting sick and losing, and I'm afraid changing the plot will ruin things, so I've chosen to skip it). I won't derail the original anime characters, but my interpretation of them may make them seem a little out of character. Please understand;

2. The heroine is a little dark at the beginning and may not be very likable, but please understand that a girl who has gone through sudden upheaval won't necessarily recover from it easily. She will get better later, and the story is generally meant to be heartwarming. (←← This was what I wrote before. Since the author was on hiatus for a long time, my ideas have changed considerably, and the story is now veering toward absurd, offbeat chaos... Enter at your own risk if that's not your thing.)

3. Hyotei may play the villain in this story (though I personally think it's really just a matter of differing positions. In my view, none of the main or supporting characters who appear often are absolutely good or evil. In a word, they simply have different positions and different ways of seeing things). Enter at your own risk if you can't accept that.

4. Updates may be slow, but trust me, I will never abandon this story!

5. My writing is fairly average, and I can be rather long-winded (that's just how I am), but I'll work hard to improve. I hope you'll share your valuable feedback! (Most importantly, please don't lurk without commenting TAT)
