Echizen Ryoma is a young tennis prodigy who has won 4 consecutive tennis championships but who constantly lies in the shadow of his father, a former pro tennis player. He joins the Seishun Gakuen junior highschool, one of the best tennis schools in J…apan, and there along with his teamates he learns to find his own type of tennis in an attempt to defeat his biggest obstacle of all: his father as well as himself.
I'd recommend it for its matches, its techniques and the pleasure of seeing Ryoma respond on the court to anyone who underestimates him because of his age.
It's a good fit if you're looking for shōnen tennis, tournaments, teams and very confident rivals.
Unlike other sports protagonists, Ryoma already starts out as a prodigy and wins a lot; his real challenge is to get out of his father's shadow and find his own tennis.
