All I Want Is to Lie Low, But I Was Born into a Hot-Blooded Manga

[Read the reading guide before you start, especially point two.]

"I've always been an ordinary person, nothing special." That was Pingyuan Takuya's self-assessment.

Although he would often transmigrate to other worlds against his will, where he'd seen Soul Reapers wielding swords, a rainbow-colored team of middle-school basketball players, all kinds of dazzling ninja techniques, and even the Holy Grail War...

All in all, his daily life was pretty peaceful.

That all changed when he started middle school.

To escape his older brother's clutches, he ran from Kyoto to Kanagawa overnight as soon as he graduated from elementary school.

In a world full of anime-colored hair and more street tennis courts than he could count, Takuya had long since lost the urge to make snarky comments.

His wish was simple: to be a couch potato and lie still.

But perhaps he'd counted his chickens a little too soon.

He'd only gone onto the tennis court because Seaweed dragged him there, and he just wanted to fill a spot. But cruel reality shattered his hopes when the beautiful club captain beat him mercilessly.

His dream of being a couch potato was shattered, and Takuya could only keep suffering in the tennis club.

When life crushes your dreams, should you fight back if you can't win?

No. If you can't win, enjoy it.

And so, all kinds of cross-world tennis techniques appeared out of nowhere.

When he faced Oshitari from Hyotei, he activated No Longer Human, nullifying every spin on the tennis ball.

He put on a pair of glasses for looking cool, and Super Deduction activated instantly.

When he taught the insufferable Sanada a lesson, the Beast Beneath the Moonlight opened its eyes in secret.

The Zone of the Generation of Miracles was put to its ultimate use on the tennis court.

Even Takuya's other-dimensional form was that cat Gojo!

After a string of matches, Takuya grew ever more distant from his couch-potato lifestyle, eventually becoming the very thing he'd least wanted to be: a hot-blooded teenager.

Pairing: Seaweed

Reading guide:

1. Severe OOC, elementary-school-level writing, stubborn author with their own interpretation.

2. Rikkai University will lose the Kanto tournament in the third year, but win the third consecutive national championship. [I know what it means, and I understand that readers want to see Rikkai do well. If you can't accept it, there's no need to read.]

3. The anime and manga are combined, so there will be differences.

4. There will be little plot from Bungou Stray Dogs and Jujutsu Kaisen. The focus is on how the protagonist acquires tennis techniques.

5. Lots of match scenes.

Theme: Youth should be free of regrets. Life is meant for striving
