The Prince of Tennis - S01

Tanjou! Buchou Shiraishi Kuranosuke (The New Captain, Kuranosuke Shiraishi) To keep the tennis club at Shitenhouji Middle School, the coach says they must recruit new members or the team can't play in any tournament that year. The team starts going after a freshman named Hikaru Zaizen, who hasn't joined any club yet. Since he doesn't care about jokes at a school built around comedy, Zaizen stands out from everyone else. Set on meeting their quota, the tennis team decides to recruit Zaizen and get him to laugh at the same time, which turns out to be harder than they thought. Seishun Gakuen Nanafushigi (Seishun Academy's Seven Mysteries) They say there are seven legendary mysteries at Seishun Academy. When Takeshi Momoshiro starts telling these stories to the first years on the tennis club, the third years quickly leave the club room. When asked about their odd behavior, Shuusuke Fuji tells them about a series of incidents from their first year tied to these stories. Kyuushuu Nitsubasa (The Two Wings of Kyushu) At the West Japan Tennis Tournament, the Shitenhouji Middle School tennis team runs into Kippei Tachibana and Senri Chitose, the doubles pair people call the "Two Wings of Kyushu." By coincidence, Shitenhouji's first-round opponents at the tournament are on the same team as Tachibana and Chitose. When Kuranosuke Shiraishi and Kenya Oshitari end up playing the two, the history between the legendary doubles pair starts to come apart. Jirou no Mezame (Jirou's Awakening) The regulars on the Hyoutei Academy Tennis Team are annoyed by how much one of their members, Jirou Akutagawa, sleeps during practice. One day, Gakuto Mukahi and Yuushi Oshitari decide to follow Jirou around to see what might be causing their teammate's huge fatigue.
