Don't pass by without taking a look! The Rikkai regulars' diaries, revealed at last!
[Excerpts at a glance]
.
[Yukimura]
Age 4: Met a little black potato today. So stupid!
Age 6: Genichiro is such an idiot. He keeps calling me Yukimura, so from now on I'll call him Sanada! Hmph!
Age 12: Rikkai, here I come! ^_^
Age 13: Why does Genichiro look cuter and cuter?
Age 14: There's a 30% chance the surgery will fail, but I... like him.
Age 18: Genichiro, let's travel.

[Sanada]
Age 4: My first day learning tennis. A pretty girl wanted to meet me, but I clearly signed up for the boys' tennis lessons?
Age 6: Why do my ears get so hot whenever I call Seiichi? I must be sick. I don't want to die, so from now on I'll only call him Yukimura. Somehow, that makes me a little sad.
Age 12: Yukimura said we're going to dominate the world at Rikkai!
Age 13: My heart keeps beating strangely. What's wrong with me? I'm being far too lax!
Age 14: I like him.
Age 18: Niou says the best part of traveling is a night raid. What's a night raid?

[Niou]
Ages 0-12: So boring.
Age 13: Found someone interesting.
Age 14: I've deceived him so many times... Will he still see that I like him?
Age 18: You're quite the fake gentleman, Hiyoshi.

[Yagyu]
Ages 0-12: Elegance never goes out of style.
Age 13: Found an interesting little fox...
Age 14: How to get a little fox to let down his guard.
Age 18: The net is finally closed.

[Reader's guide]
1. Updates will be sporadic at first. The main goal is to have fun!
The entire story is written in first-person diary form, so whether it'll go behind a paywall is undecided. If it does, though, updates will be regular!
2. The characters will never be out of character. The story follows Rikkai Retsuden OVA, but includes lots of extra details and headcanons!
3. This story follows Hand in Hand. It's my own fanwork, so I'm doing my best to enjoy it!
4. Sanada/Yukimura is the main pairing. Long live Rikkai! Three consecutive national championships! Read with caution if that's not your thing!
Theme: A life full of ups and downs, lived happily
