[Prince of Tennis] A First-Year Determined to Turn Rikkai Dai’s Villains into the Hero Team

Kiyomiya Ryota, twelve years old.

He was forced to join the Rikkai Dai tennis club because his irresponsible mother wanted to draw a tennis manga.

Kiyomiya thought, Great, this time I'll give myself an energetic junior's Buff. That's the kind of personality a protagonist should have! I'm going to show the protagonist's crew what I can do!

But...huh? Something seems a little off. Is Rikkai Dai really not the villain faction? A bunch of scheming, black-hearted senpai, plus one little seaweed-head who changes skins in the middle of a match. Turns out the only normal person in the entire club is that senpai in the black cap.

Wait? Rikkai Dai has already won the national title twice in a row and the Kanto title fifteen times in a row??? In a sports manga, that setup makes them the perfect final boss and strongest stepping stone!

There's no choice. I'll bring Rikkai Dai back from the brink together with the senpai in the cap, since I'm a little sunbeam of a junior! Wait, that senpai in the cap hits people?

Fine. Protagonists are always lonely. I'll turn the tide all by myself.

Then one day, he accidentally saw a certain wisteria-haired boy in a hospital bed.

Kiyomiya thought, I can do this! I really can! Let me, this dangerous and alluring villain, crush everyone who dares reach for the top! My heart has perfectly merged with Rikkai Dai. I'm completely black-hearted now!

This is the story of a first-year junior who wants to change Rikkai Dai's villainous atmosphere, only to end up being turned into a villain himself.

Reading notes:

1. This is my first long novel. My writing is amateurish, and any OOC is on me.

2. I'll try to stick to the original, but there will be some original additions.

3. I'm a fan of Yukimura and Rikkai. Rikkai is the best, Yukimura is the best, and the Captain is beloved by everyone.

4. Rikkai Dai will have 16+3 members.

5. The timeline starts in the third year of middle school, while the protagonist is a first-year.

6. You can insult me, but don't insult the characters, especially any player from Rikkai Dai.

7. The protagonist is new to tennis, so he won't be strong right away, but he will get a bit of a golden finger.
