(The Prince of Tennis) He and Him, Complete Opposites

A collection of Renaissance-style short and medium-length stories, updated once a week, with one complete story each time.

Each story has a different protagonist, and every pairing is strictly one-on-one!

Stories currently planned:

1. "I Want to Become Part of Akutsu's Family"

Yamano, who fainted by the roadside from hunger, is rescued by the kind Miss Yuki Akutsu and taken home to be cared for. From then on, she devotes herself to repaying Miss Yuki for her kindness.

As far as she knows, Miss Yuki's biggest worry right now is her son, who is going through a rebellious phase.

Then she'll straighten out Jin Akutsu's twisted personality and make Miss Yuki happy!

Yamano: Akutsu, it's wrong to use violence against your classmates!

Muromachi: No, I think pinning him to the ground and twisting him into a pretzel like that is much more violent...

Yamano: Akutsu, you can't throw rocks at your juniors!

Dan: You say that, but then hit him back even harder?! Akutsu-senpai, wake up!

Sengoku: All the things you do for Miss Yuki, it's not just to repay her, is it?

Yamano: Oh dear, you've found me out. Actually, I... have a dream. I want to become part of Miss Yuki's family!

Sengoku: But Miss Yuki doesn't seem to meet the requirements to adopt you, since she's a single mom.

Yamano: Is that so?!

Sengoku: But I have an idea. If you marry Akutsu, wouldn't that make you family?

Yamano: Sengoku, you...

Sengoku: Sorry, sorry, I was just joking

Yamano: Are you a genius?! This way Miss Yuki can become my mom!

Sengoku: ...Akutsu, you've been completely reduced to a mere accessory.

Akutsu: Drop dead, both of you.

Sengoku: Oh, he's leaving. Looks like your mental attacks are just as powerful as your physical ones, Yamano.

Pairing: Akutsu.

2. "The Entire Tennis Club Is Helping Me Cross-Dress as a Boy"

Nishisue (female) thinks her skills at cross-dressing as a boy have reached perfection.

Her proof is how everyone reacts when someone from another school says she looks effeminate:

Seaweed: W-what are you saying?! Nishisue-senpai is the most manly male middle schooler in our boys' tennis club!

Bunta: Exactly! However you look at it, he's a guy!

Sanada: What kind of ears would hear, no, what kind of eyes would hear that this is a woman's voice?!

Yagyuu: Judging someone's gender based on stereotypes is quite unbecoming of a gentleman.

Niou: Puri. Looks like it's not just your tennis skills, your eyesight isn't great either.

Kuwabara: Y-yeah, really, it's just... unbelievable!

After the outsider ran off, frightened by everyone's over-the-top reaction, they all inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seaweed/Bunta/Sanada/Yagyuu/Niou/Kuwabara: (Good thing nobody suspects Hiro's true identity, but we'll have to be more careful from now on.)

Seaweed/Bunta/Sanada/Yagyuu/Niou/Kuwabara: (After all, I'm the only one who knows Hiro is a girl!)

Yanagi: (The probability that all these people would have the same thought at once is 97 percent.)

Yukimura: (Honestly, everyone's way too careless.)

Pairing: Yukimura.

3. "The Girls in My Fan Club Are Giving Atobe a Hard Time"

The girls in Atobe's fan club had been keeping an eye on the two of them for quite some time.

The heir to a conglomerate, the young emperor, Keigo Atobe, had recently been spending a lot of time with a girl named Hiro.

After the two had walked home together and said goodbye for the fifth time, the girls in the group seized their chance and stopped the one who was alone.

Girl A: Could you please stop pestering that esteemed person?

Girl B: Please don't mistake his kindness for special treatment. You're only going to cause him trouble.

Girl C: This may be a little rude, but you don't think this is a genuine relationship, do you? He's only too polite to turn you down!

Atobe, who'd been stopped: ...What are you doing?

Pairing: Atobe.

*And all kinds of other Japanese school-life short stories I'd like to write.

Theme: A celebration of youth
