I Still Love Tennis

---- Notice Board ----

[During my hiatus, I reread my story and noticed many flaws and plot holes. I wasn't very satisfied with how the story was developing, so A Fei has decided to make major revisions. I'll also add some extra stories later, though progress will be rather slow, and there may be frequent revision notices. Sorry to bother everyone, and thank you, fairies, for your support!]

--- About This Story ---

Zhang Jingzhe, a Grand Slam champion in the junior division of the tennis open, becomes three-year-old Igarashi Yue after an accident.

Thanks for asking. I'm in Japan, and I just got reborn, so I can't understand Japanese. But I think there's still hope. Stay calm, don't panic!

A Yue, who had never been loved in his previous life, finds family and friendship here.

Some swimming club members: "A Yue, let's go swimming together."

Some kyudo club members: "A Yue, you're talented at kyudo, too."

Some Rainbow Basketball players: "A Yue, with bones as impressive as yours, why not come play basketball with me!"

But...

Even after becoming the protagonist of a sports anime, I still love tennis.

"Let's win Rikkai's third consecutive championship!"

[Reader's Guide and Content Warnings]

1. The story mainly revolves around competitions and daily life. I enjoy finding warm, touching moments in the quiet everyday scenes, and there are also parts where A Yue gets to show off. The story is primarily told from Rikkai's point of view, but it won't favor them without reason. There are both wins and losses in the competitions, and A Yue grows and improves step by step. He's something of a demon king on the court.

2. The main series is The Prince of Tennis, with several other shonen manga included. The story spans a long timeline and features sports anime from a bygone era that may bring back memories: swimming, the kyudo club, the Rainbow Basketball group, figure skating, and The Little Detective Who Could.

3. No romance. Please follow A Yue's growth!

4. [Please don't use another author's personal headcanons as official canon when correcting my settings. Everything will be based on information officially released. If anything differs from canon, please assume it's A Fei's own headcanon. Please don't bring up A Fei in other authors' comment sections. Thank you so much.]

5. [This will NOT follow the original plot!!! It won't follow the original, and there will be some major differences, so please don't ask why it's different from the original. Everyone has their own interpretation, and A Fei has the final say. I'm sorry if you really can't accept that. This warning is highlighted, so please think carefully before reading if it bothers you. All fanfiction will have some degree of out-of-character characterization. Thank you so much for your support, fairies. "Bows!"]

6. I've been told my writing is very bad, and I'm working hard to improve, I really am. Please go easy on me, fairies, QAQ.

7. The anti-piracy ratio is 60%. I recommend buying one chapter at a time, fairies. You can skip any scenes you don't like, and buying chapters individually lets you cut your losses in time.

8. About comments: I'll only delete threads if the arguing gets too heated. Otherwise, I won't delete them. If you find that one of your comments has disappeared, don't panic. First check your account center to see what happened. If an administrator deleted it, just file an appeal through the proper process and it should be restored.

9. You're all paying readers, so feel free to speak your mind. All kinds of reasonable comments are very welcome. Extremely harsh wording is a no-no. Sometimes a more tactful tone can help everyone be more receptive.

10. This is not a wish-fulfillment story. A Yue may sometimes act like a pushover, because of his personality and the experiences he had growing up in his previous life. Some readers have said that this can be frustrating, so new readers, please consider carefully before reading. If something feels off, it's best to leave early. The most important thing is to enjoy reading, so don't force yourself to continue. There's no need to leave a comment if you drop the story, either. Thank you so much.

Thank you, fairies, for reading this far.

And finally, Rikkai's third consecutive championship, without a single weakness.
