The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 25 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (211–219) of the on-going manga series.
The tankōbon continues the Kantō Prefectural Tournament Finals with Seishun Academy playing against Rikkaidai Junior High School. It concluded the first single match between Sadaharu Inui vs. Renji Yanagi. Inui took a strong lead winning the first two sets, but Yanagi had seen through his game and made a comeback. Inui seemingly had given up his Data Tennis, but it was done to recreate their last unfinished game together with a score of 4–5. The matched ended up rather evenly and went into a tie-breaking match. That too ended up rather evenly, but Inou won the match with a 7–6 score. With this win, Seishun Academy finally wins a match with Rikaidai Junior High leading 1–2 matches.
The second singles match begins with Shūsuke Fuji vs. Akaya Kirihara. In this match, it seems for the first time in – ever that Fuji determined to play seriously. His first point aimed the tennis ball directly at Kirihara’s knee – the same knee that he injured Ryōma Echizen. As a genius, he had become bored with tennis – never needing to play all out, but after witnessing Kunimitsu Tezuka in the previous tournament, he decided to play at his best. However, after winning his third point, Kirihara purposely hit a ball towards his head and blinded Fuji. The tankōbon closes with Kirihara winning four straight sets with a score of 3–4.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi. Besides the tennis playing, the tankōbon gives a wonderful insight into Shūsuke Fuji and his relationship with Kunimitsu Tezuka. It seems like a genius, Fuji has become bored of tennis and plays just enough to defeat his opponent and never play as his true self – a sad story about a genius with no rival.
All in all, The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 25 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

Inui fights his way through his match with Renji, not only beating his old doubles partner, but also recreating their unfinished match from elementary school for closure - Seigaku is still in the running. Next up is Fuji playing Akaya in a tough match that leaves Fuji struggling with temporary blindness. The Inui match features nothing unrealistic except Inui and Renji's uncanny ability to finish each other's sentences, and the plot is stronger for that.
Of course, any strength it gained from that match disappears during Fuji's - it's super unprofessional to aim for someone's body (especially head) on purpose, and even kids, especially really talented kids, wouldn't do that. It's unrealistic (again, where are the umps?) and the blindness is just too coincidental, though it does allow for some character development by showing us that Fuji plays tennis for the challenge of it instead of winning.

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.

It good? Yes.
Is it even remotely plausible that the coach wouldn’t pull shusuke from the game the second she noticed his inability to see after a hit to the head. No.
Like, it’s laughable how seriously stupid that is.

Sadaharu Inue and Renji Yanagi are in the midst of their match, and it looks like Renji has the upper hand. Sadahru even throws out his data, but Renji says "There is no victory for those who abandon their play-style." Indeed, Sadaharu is looking exhausted. But all is not lost--Sadaharu is actually re-creating their last, unfinished match. Now we'll find out who really is the better player--and it's a win for Seishun!
Renji's loss means Rikkai has broken their promise to their team leader, in the hospital waiting for a surgery. Renji submits himself for punishment, but the blow is deflected by Akaya, who now gives himself 14 minutes to win his match with Shusuke Fuji. It's a tough match, and Akaya slams a drive that knocks Shusuke to the group. He gets up to continue playing, but he's got to hide the fact that the blow has made him temporarily blind.

This book is when Rikkai battles Seishun for the tournament win. With Rikkai dominating the first and second doubles games, all the pressure lies on Sadaharu, who has to face his old friend, Renji. After a long and tough game, Sadaharu barely manages to win for Seishun making the score 2-1. Will Seishun's Shusuke Fuji, the genius win this game even though he just got hit in the head and got temporary blindness?
I picked this book up because I enjoy reading the prince of tennis a whole lot. It is my favorite manga. It's really fun to read and full of action.
I finished this book because it's short and a pleasure to read.
I think my cousin would love this book because he really likes tennis and likes manga, so this is a perfect book for him.

Daaammmnnn... Fuji!! So far, the difference from the anime is that Kirihara doesn't target only Fuji's knee (as that is what he did to Ryoma in the manga and to Fuji in the anime). He targets various parts of Fuji's body. Aside from that major difference, the rest is fairly the same :D
I wonder how the Ryoma/Sanada match will turn out since what was supposed to happen, as per what I've seen in the anime, has already happened when Ryoma defeated Kirihara >:D
The manga-Sanada is too violent :< Great job on the anime adaptation team's part on adjusting that by just making him super strict.

Sadaharu's match was fine I guess what we see of Shusuke is some bullshit and breaks my immersion.
