Prince of Tennis
Jul. 16th, 2007 10:37 pm-Pardon if there are typos in today's entry, the 'g', 'h' and 'j' keys came off due to a random cat's claw getting loose under the keys and they haven't quite gotten back on straight since, which is making typing interesting. ~_~
So. Have now tracked down and read volumes 1-34 of Prince of Tennis aka Tennis no Oujisama aka TeniPuri aka PoT manga in the past three days.
Um... honestly? M'not entirely sure I understand the hype. Pretty boys, okay somewhat, yes. But kinda boring. Most of the time I'm waiting for them to stop fwapping around with their little balls and do something interesting. Like play with bigger balls.
That said, the main highlights for us:
• Bowling chapters.
• Beach volleyball chapters. (Go Coaches!)
• Split-personality man and "ZOMBIES!! THEY'RE ALIVVVVVVVVVVVE!!" during a personality test.
• Middle of chapter 296, stealing the catchphrase, snark, followed by both players having a random mad cackling contest at each other.
• Um... to the one character who likes to looks kinda like Akira from Hikago who likes play to tennis upside down in midair and gives us nice belly shots. I think you missed your calling. Where were you during the beach volleyball game?
• Eiji. Eiji is love.Especially with Oishi. Golden Pair OTP!
• ... Momo needs to go out drinking with Sano from RK, cause they're like long lost brothers or something...
Am also somewhat convinced that Toyama Kintarou is related to Toyama Kazuha from DC. The kanji on the last names is even the same. (遠山)
And seriously?! These guys are in MIDDLE SCHOOL?! WTF. High School is believable. Middle School? Nah-uh.
Now, that being said, I will prolly finish off reading the last volumes tomorrow and will have achieved my true goal!!!and reached enlightenment!!!
The ability to read the vast amounts of PoT fanfic on the web. ^_______________^ *wanders off to poke at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
