The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 35 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters (303–312) of the on-going manga series.
The first half of the tankōbon concludes the Quarterfinals of the All-Japan National Tournament that has Seishun Academy playing against Hyotei Academy, who they have played before Kantō Regional Tournament, but they seemed to be stronger now.
It concludes the final Singles Match Ryōma Echizen vs. Keigo Atobe. The match continues to be very close as it is taken to a tie-breaker, which was rather close. Both players played their toughest and ended up both fainting from exhaustion. In the end, Echizen won by a score of 7–6. With this narrow victory, Seishun Academy advances to the Semifinals.
The narrative takes a turn as it focuses on the Quarterfinals Match with Fudoumine Middle School and Shitenhoji Middle School, which is a rather rough school to play with as they forced Fudoumine to retire or forfeit their first two matches and eventually won their match against them.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi. The narrative technique to show the power of the new school Shitenhoji Middle School was done rather nicely, by switching the narrative to their Quarterfinals of the All-Japan National Tournament with Fudoumine Middle School. It wonderfully teases the potential power and more of this new team that is most likely going to face Seishun Academy in the Semifinals.
All in all, The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 35 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

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.

This volume finally becomes more technical rather than magical. The magic/psychological play style is still there, but everything’s being explained a lot better now. Rather than players just performing crazy shots, those on the sidelines are narrating and explaining how things are working. This is better than the last several volumes.
However, I preferred the purely technical play style. But, the Japanese need to make everything magical. Guess that just naturally comes to them through Confucianism and Buddhism.

Really enjoyed this volume. Keigo's match with Ryoma was awesome. Loved the match between Kippei and Senri, his best friend from his old district and the guy Kippei injured before he quit tennis.

After reading this book, they brought in new characters in this chapter. I can't wait to read the next book.

This book has the worst back-cover description. The title, too! Way to ruin the cliffhanger. Since we all know "Farewell, Hyotei Academy" means Seigaku has advanced, I'm dropping the spoiler tags - Atobe and Ryoma play a breakneck, 200+ point tiebreaker to finish their match. And that heat stroke I said Eiji/Oishi should have had in Volume 34? Almost happened with Atobe and Ryoma lying on the court in exhaustion and sweat (but still no heat stroke) - unrealistic because if a player collapses, they'd have to take their medical break which allows for 5-10 minutes' rest, depending on the league. Also, can I just mention Ryoma's thoughts while struggling to get up? "Eiji taught me... that he's moody?" Bahaha!
If Volume 34 had my favorite cover, this one might just be my least favorite. I find it a little creepy. I got some serious giggles out Ryoma shaving Atobe's head while he was unconscious, though (for fear of sounding like a broken record, I hesitate to add that standing and being unconscious is pretty impressive and probably not realistic. If he wasn't responding, there would have been paramedics, not waiting 20 seconds to get the final point. Since this would have been his second medical break, assuming he was forced to take the first one while lying prone on the court, he would have automatically forfeited). On to Shitenhoji!

I actually started laughing that Ryoma's big breakthrough is this montage of things he "learned" from his teammates like boy you didn't learn anything you've barely changed since chapter one. Smiling when your teammates have character development is not the same as you yourself having character development.
Also three doors lmao
Also three doors lmao

Fare thee well, Fudomine. Good riddance, Hyotei. My mind boggles at a tiebreak that breaks the 100-point mark. The longest one I ever played was 21-19, and thank heavens we won it. The Ryoma vs. Osaka Wild Child (can't remember his name) match-up is coming!
