Name: Did Senior Tiangong Play Tennis Today? No, He’s Recruiting People
Author: Coconut Milk Roasted Tea

Synopsis

Complete. You can check out the reader's guide below first. Paragraph comments are open! I hope you'll add the upcoming pre-order title, After Reincarnating as a Knight, the Dark Mage, to your collection~

The second-year captain of Rikkai is widely regarded as the most mysterious player.

He never takes part in matches.

He lets his first-year juniors sit in the coaches' seats.

He never trains with the club, either.

Even after winning the championship, he brazenly skipped the podium speech!

What a mysterious and arrogant guy!

The people of Rikkai: He's not that mysterious. Our senior Amamiya is just a little lazy, doesn't like moving around, and loves sleeping. But he's incredibly good!

Everyone else: ...So does he have any other good qualities?!

The people of Rikkai: Of course! Senior Amamiya is amazing at picking people up! He picked all of us up!

*

Amamiyaji loves skipping practice.

Personal history: Briefly served as Rikkai's captain

Special skill: Picking people up

For example

An elementary schooler with the skills of a pro? Pick him up and bring him to Rikkai!

A middle schooler trained by German elites? Pick him up and bring him to Rikkai!

A wandering samurai from overseas? Pick him up and bring him to Rikkai!

Someone who can become a nationally ranked player after only two months of tennis? Pick him up and bring him to Rikkai!

A pillar?

The boy raised his racket, a carefree smile spreading across his face. Carrying Rikkai's pride, he declared beneath the eyes of the crowd:

“What pillar? Rikkai has never needed a pillar!”

We are the kings, Rikkai, the strongest tennis school in Japan.

#

In this story, most of the high school seniors attend different schools from their canon ones.

Many players also attend different schools from their canon ones. See the title for reference.

The male lead is the strongest, and Rikkai is the strongest.

There will be OOC, very OOC! Extremely!

Long live the King, Rikkai!

The headcanons are mountains high. Anything that doesn't make sense is a headcanon!

Trying to Talk Myself Out of Clicking

Books I couldn't keep reading for various reasons. Three stars to avoid Green River restrictions. The reviews are notes I wrote when moving books to my not-reading list. No review means I didn't leave a note. I'm still transferring the reviews over.

Reading List (Pruned: Not Fully Purchased or Completed)

There are original works and fanfiction, both complete and ongoing. Mostly fanfiction, primarily with a male lead in the top role or no pairing. One or two childhood favorites (back when I didn’t know these terms) have the protagonist as the bottom, or feature switch dynamics.

The Prince of Tennis (A Xiaoyi)

Just my personal taste. I recommend Rikkai Dai, but I read about other schools and characters too. I’ve read most of the books on this list, but forgot to rate them, so I’ll add ratings later. For now, they all get five stars
