Prince of Tennis
our friend Rilina got Jak into reading some manga back when we were living in boston. somewhere between boston and seattle, Jak got me to start watching the anime version of Naruto with him on occasion. now we watch it regularly.
after reading about Prince of Tennis on Rilina's blog, Jak picked up volume 1. last week he picked up vols 2 and 3. looking for something light and easy to read one night while i couldn't sleep, i read through them as well.
(for the unitiated, manga is a Japanese style of comic books or graphic novels, and anime refers to animation originating in Japan.)
Prince of Tennis is about the tennis team of a middle/high school, and the prince is this little 7th grader who can basically play like a pro. i'm not into tennis, so it took me a bit to catch on to some of what was going on.
but it's cute and entertaining (though i prefer Naruto) and i like the little guy's attitude.

Heh. I see I have gotten you hooked on something new. I am afraid the tennis veers even further from reality as the series continues. Hard to believe, I know, but true. BTW, I own volumes 7-15, and can loan them out whenever I get them back from the person currently borrowing them. :)
