Every chapter is a life connected to you.

A Prince of Tennis anthology. Each story and its characters stand alone.

※ Unless otherwise noted, the main text is in third person.

World One: The Yukimura Arc

You are a high school student who has just transferred from Germany to Kanagawa.

You've suffered from insomnia for years, but you don't want your parents to worry or the people around you to think you're overreacting. To everyone else, you're a cheerful, sunny girl. Only you know you're sinking into the darkness, rotting and falling apart…

You and Yagyu are childhood friends. You agreed to start dating after graduation, but you don't remember that now. And at present, you've fallen for Yukimura from the class next door.

※ The main text is in second person.

World Two: The Fuji Arc

You are Shizuka To's younger sister, and the To family keeps you, a nine-tailed fox demon, intending to use you as a servant. After being gravely wounded while fleeing your pursuers, you reverted to your original form. The Fuji brothers, who were attending university in Tokyo, took you home and saved you.

You begin a warm, peaceful life with the Fuji family…

World Three: The Tezuka Arc

You are an oil-painting student studying in Germany, with a line of suitors stretching from Berlin to Barcelona. There are all kinds of rumors about you around campus: a spoiled rich girl, a master at playing with people's feelings.

You meet Tezuka Kunimitsu, a young man from East Asia. He approaches you hesitantly and discovers you're not the person the rumors describe. You fall for each other, and once you start dating, you discover he's not as aloof as he seems, either.

The chaste man's passion is like a glacier cracking and lava consuming all. He winds around you again and again, savoring you.

You tilt your head back and push at him through tear-blurred eyes, saying you've had enough. He says hoarsely, "All right." But he has no intention of stopping.

World Four: The Yagyu and Niou Arc

You are an ordinary office worker, and you've made the same simple mistake every man in the world makes: Heaven put two pieces of candy in front of you. You didn't choose one. You ate them both.

One is Yagyu Hiroshi, a refined gentleman and doctor at a major hospital. The other is Niou Masaharu, whose profession is unclear. If you ask, he's an investor. An investor in sex.

(Continuation of the short story Greedy from the author's collection, inspired by a modern-day story about two close friends.)

World Five: The Atobe Arc

You are an ordinary office worker. One evening, you come home from work and find four-year-old Atobe staring at you in your entryway.

The dimensional wall breaks, and you become a mother without pain, forced to raise a child.

You witness his "growing up," from an adorable four-year-old to a twenty-eight-year-old domineering CEO. He falls in love with you.

And many more worlds…

Theme: Go on, fall in love.
