[Prince of Tennis] A Year at Rikkai Dai

* Everyday life at Rikkai Dai's high school division, with very, very little tennis.

* There is a pairing, and it's Yanagi Renji. The romance develops slowly.

* I've tried to improve a little compared to my last book, but who knows.

Recently, Yanagi Renji has been hearing the name Aikawa Yuri again and again.

First, the incense at the restaurant his family often visits was replaced with a new blend made by Aikawa Yuri.

Then, at the haiku club he frequents, a member showed him a booklet handwritten by Aikawa Yuri. It even had pressed flowers inside.

Finally, he met Aikawa Yuri herself, after she was caught breaking school rules and taken to speak with the head of the discipline committee, Sanada.

*

After returning from Tokyo to Kamakura to settle the affairs of an elderly relative, Aikawa Yuri decides to stay in Kanagawa at the relative's dying request.

To fulfill their last wish, she reopens the little general store her family used to run.

She never expected the shop, which only opens on weekends, to have so many regular customers.

The restaurant on the corner, the nearby haiku club, the temple on the hill, and many elderly people who had been devoted customers of the store since their youth.

But among these regulars... why are there more and more young people?

*

Yanagi Renji knocks on the door of Yusuidou to buy a custom-made sachet for his grandfather.

There he sees Aikawa Yuri, a girl in his grade, with her hair tied in a low bun and dressed in a pale moon-white kimono. She asks, "How can I help you?"
