Niou-kun from Germany

A young nobleman from the Fujiwara clan "eloped for love." As it turned out, that really was what happened. He changed his surname to Nioh, and his "furious" fiancée changed whom she was going to marry. Later, the nobleman had children, and his eldest son's Japanese name was Nioh Masaharu.

The nobleman's father fell gravely ill and wanted to see his grandchildren. But his eldest daughter was away at university, and his youngest son was still little, so Nioh Masaharu was sent back to his father's hometown.

The Fujiwara clan's main residence in Kyoto was full of disputes every day. Seeking some peace and quiet, Nioh Masaharu chose Rikkai Dai, a powerhouse tennis school in the Kanto region, for middle school. There, he met a wonderful group of teammates in the tennis club. They achieved an unprecedented three-peat, then went on to compete on the world stage, eventually facing one another in the international U17 tournament.

※ Characters may be OOC.

※ My take on Nioh; Rikkai Dai is 16+3.

※ In U17, Nioh and Tezuka join the German team, Yukimura joins the French team, and Ryoma is on the American team. I haven't decided whether the others will join other national teams.

※ After much deliberation, the ending is set: ten consecutive championships for the German team.

※ Nioh starts learning tennis earlier than in the original, so he'll be stronger.

※ Nioh, QP, Borg, and Berti are childhood friends. QP is adopted by Nioh's mother's family, and Coach Reter has blood ties to her family.

※ Contains many original settings and may contradict canon.

※ The cover is by Mo Yan from Xiaohongshu, a lovely person with a kind heart.

※ I'll add more if I think of anything or write it in.
