[Prince of Tennis] Committing to the Gag Until the End

Next up: Annihilation of the Five Senses from the Start, Shocking Yukimura. The blurb is at the very bottom~ [Blurb] Inuyama Tamaki is an ordinary first-year middle school student. Male. He thinks he's no different from other boys. It's just that his name sounds like a girl's, his voice sounds like a girl's, his face looks like a girl's, and he wore girls' clothes throughout elementary school. Compared to the tennis club at that middle school built inside a temple, he's practically normal. If he had to describe the Shitenhoji tennis club in one word, it would be: a madhouse. So, on his first day joining the tennis club, he meets the club captain. Inuyama: He seems pretty serious, but what's with the bandages on his hands? Chuunibyou? Cosplaying as some character from a certain manga? Then he meets a famous doubles pair. Inuyama: Please go left and find a little grove to show off your love in. Then he meets a super rookie from his class who's also in the tennis club. Inuyama: A red-haired monkey jumping all over the place? Four months after joining the tennis club. The pre-match pep talk before the National Tournament finals, under the gaze of the tennis clubs, their cheering squads, and spectators from all over the country. Inuyama: Okay, brothers, eyes on me! Look at me! I have an announcement. Whatever difficulties we face, we mustn't be afraid! Face them with a smile! The best way to overcome fear is to face it! Let's go, that's what I'm talking about! Shitenhoji's regulars: Hahahahahaha, Tamaki-chan, you're hilarious! Hey, hey! How did he get assimilated so quickly?! Annihilation of the Five Senses from the Start, Shocking Yukimura Sunohara Natsumasa, captain of the Rikkai Dai tennis club, second-year middle school student. Just because he's blunt, doesn't know how to be tactful, sometimes says things that rub people the wrong way for no reason, and always wears a blank expression, he's been saddled with the reputation of constantly mocking people. He's nicknamed "Rikkai's King of Mockery." One day, he happens to learn that at the U14 DKN Kanagawa Junior Tournament, an elementary schooler named Yukimura Seiichi has a special move called Annihilation of the Five Senses. So he marches right over and asks to experience Annihilation of the Five Senses himself. He doesn't know why the blue-purple-haired kid is angry, but he got what he wanted. He reflects Annihilation of the Five Senses, wins 6-0, and adds a few words. In return, he gains a seemingly gentle but actually domineering little boyfriend...? As Yukimura smiles warmly, yet in a way that sends shivers down one's spine, Sunohara Natsumasa is left deeply confused. Did he mock him again? But he really didn't (unfair!). [Reading Guide] I'm struggling to get back into writing, so updates will be irregular. Plot-focused, with romance on the side. The pairing is Kintaro. The plot doesn't follow the original exactly. I've hand-waved Chitose's injury, Yukimura's illness, Tezuka's injury, and so on. Shitenhoji will most likely win the National Tournament. The protagonist is based on VTuber Inuyama Tamaki, with a heavily altered personality. He wears girls' clothes. Lots of memes and jokes. The king of OOC. Theme: Humor can give people strength too.
