I misplaced hobby in Prince of Tennis manga once I noticed that healthy with the doppelganger element about racquet article. Sorry, that is going up with the changing history component in Yakitate. I realize the target market is meant to have that suspension of disbelief issue, however this is simply ridiculous.

Every manga has to end. The anime adaptation is not that good.
From tennis manga, Baby Steps was the more "realistic" as possible and always got me hyped in the matches.
Just waiting the scan release now, since there's little chance the manga come to LA so soon.

I don't think there is, from the description of the scan that shown on the article.

Too bad the scans for this are way too behind, stopped caring when they never came out regularly anymore, hope to see it completed one day.

Wow. I just started the anime a month ago and knew it deserved more seasons. But good to know if I read the manga it won't go on for 10+ years.

It was a fun ride I guess. It has over 300+ chapters so it had a decent run. Hope they can conclude the story on a good note.

Couldn't bring myself to enjoy the anime that much - but I guess it's time to read the manga.

Really? We have shit like Days and Battery, but THIS is bad to you?

I said ONE of. Battery was horrible and I dropped it after the first ep and as for DAYS i didn't even bother with it at all.
