Too bad Viz never licensed the second Prince of Tennis manga, the scanners are so slow.

At least Crunchyroll is almost sure to dub this,

In the whole fuss of everything else its kinda. Like they did say 2024, or something like that, and with july over that means october.

Its funny how many sequels are airing in october.

I mean 2022 was really bad season and I'm not sure if they'll be able to fix it.
