Real Tennis Shots in The Prince of Tennis, Introduction
Prince of Tennis is, as the name suggests, a manga/anime that draws from tennis culture. It focuses mainly on a twelve-year-old tennis prodigy and the junior high tennis team he plays on, especially the training they go through and techniques they employ.
In the next few posts, I'm going to be looking at the signature shots of the characters Ryoma Echizen (the “twist” serve), Takeshi Momoshiro (the “dunk smash” shot), Captain Tezuka (the “drop” shot), and Kaoru Kaido (the “snake” shot).
(Even though I'm not into sports so much, I find sports manga and anime fascinating. It's based on something so tangibly real... even if it is exaggerated.)
