5/5 (Review is for the series as a whole and does not contain spoilers)
This series follows 7th grader Ryoma Echizen as he strives to become the number one tennis player at his junior high school. Throughout the series, Ryoma faces off against numerous opponents, each one stronger than the last, in an effort to help lead his tennis team to becoming the champions of the National Tennis Tournament.
This series is a cute, action packed story about some junior high school students playing tennis. No prior knowledge of tennis is necessary, as the author takes the time to explain how certain shots are executed and briefly mentions which professional tennis players may use those shots. As the story progresses, some of the tennis shots get a bit more unrealistic and overly dramatic, but it adds to the excitement and builds tension. (So note that if you are an avid tennis player, it might seem a bit out there in terms of realism.) This is a great series for people who enjoy sports manga, and who enjoy competition, as the boys in this manga continue to push each other to new heights in their skills. There are also some good lessons in the story that teach the readers about having fun and continuing to persevere even when things get tough. It also teaches readers that sometimes we lose, and that’s okay too. In terms of age ratings, I would say that this series is a safe one for those in middle school, or perhaps even a bit younger. Overall, I really enjoyed this manga for its low stakes, fun action, and enjoyable cast of characters.

The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 6 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (43–51) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon is a transition one, where Seishun Academy is practicing for their upcoming tournament – Tokyo Prefecture Tournament. In the interim, Kunimitsu Tezuka, the captain of the tennis team, plays off against a healed Ryoma Echizen, and wins it off screen. This lit a match under Echizen and goes to his father vowing to get stronger.
The last third of the tankōbon, covers the opening and first few matches of the Tokyo Prefecture Tournament. It nicely introduces new teams and a new rival in St. Rudolph Academy and have their eyes on Seishun Academy.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi. The tankōbon just touches the Tokyo Prefecture Tournament, which is significantly bigger than the previous tournament. With 108 schools selected only the top five schools would advance to the next round – the Regionals.
All in all, The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 6 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

I am more and more invested in the series as I go on.
The characters are slowly shown as real people. They have flaws, the Seigaku is not a team where everyone loves each other and they're like family. They try to play well and do their part to make the team proud but are still not overly invested in each other's lives.
Ryoma is too self-assured but at the same time not arrogant. It's hard to explain.

At the time of this review, I read volumes 5-7 back-to-back.
I felt cheated! We had quite a cliffhanger in the previous volume, but in the beginning of this volume we did not see much! What was that?! On the other hand, Ryoma's Dad is happy to see his son is moving on to the next stage of his development as a player. We begin the next competition.
Verdict: So good!

I'm starting to get a bit bored, cause it's JUST tennis, all the time. I want to know more about these characters than just their tennis styles: show me some of their school life, some other hobbies, some interesting backstory, or some of their family members!

The district tournament is taking off and Sheishun Academy has all the other schools trying to take the crown. Some really interesting matches and rivalries are coming up. Can't wait.

Ryoma's match with Tezuka, though not depicted in its entirety, serves as a strong dose of reality for the young prodigy: he's not perfect, and as he always says, he still has a ways to go. Yay character development! This is the first volume with a chunk of humor as well, with the appearance of Inui's special vegetable juice. The humor is a nice change of pace from the breakneck speed and drama of the tennis tournaments; it also allows readers to see the characters in different situations and get an idea of who they are as people, making them a little more well-rounded than before.
This volume has the same shortcomings as the previous ones: there are lots of cliches, the characters are still somewhat one-dimensional, and the plot is formulaic. The tennis action allowed me to overlook these faults.

I love this series a lot. This series means a lot to me personally and the characters as well. This one volume is a fun volume to get a feel of the characters when they aren’t surrounded by tennis which is a fun break.

Tournament time! We're setting up opponents and showing some growth for our team. I'm confused that we didn't get any actual training arc to show them improving but I guess they've been dominating everything anyways so it doesn't much matter.
