The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 16, 16

A tennis prodigy leads his handsome tennis club to victory at the national tournament.

Four-time consecutive U.S. Junior tournament champ Ryoma Echizen comes to Seishun Academy to further his reign as The Prince of Tennis. His skill is matched only by his attitude--irking some but impressing all as he leads his team to the Nationals and beyond!

Takashi Taka Momoshiro battles the mysterious Kabaji of Hyotei Academy. Taka unleashes a brutal two-handed Hadokyu (wave surge shot), which Kabaji dishes right back. Unbeknownst to Taka, Kabaji's special talent is his ability to mimic shots with accuracy and ease. Meanwhile, Sadaharu's honesty and keen eye for detail becomes Seishun's downfall when he volunteers that his winning smash was actually out. Can Seishun Academy afford another loss?
