The Prince of Tennis by Takeshi Knomoi

Reviewer: Anonymous

You don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy Prince of Tennis. You can hate sports and still love POT. It's not lame. It's not anything like lame. It's about a young tennis genius who joins his school's prestigious tennis team (made up of all uppperclassmen), and wipes the floor with the faces of all the elder players. It's really interesting, and all of the players are super freakin' good. Read it. Now.
