As an avid fan of both the anime and the manga, when this drama first came out I was highly skeptical because of the past adaptations, which weren't up to par in my opinion. But this drama completely surprised me with how closely it followed the manga. Plus all of the elements that make Prince of Tennis, Prince of Tennis were there. Thank you CGI effects. Though for this particular drama they focus more on the individual members, the team in general, and romance than they do with the matches.

CAST: The director did so well with the casting, props to them for finding actors/actresses that have similar features to the original characters. Whenever they would introduce a character I would get excited! I would also get excited when the characters did their move! They made some changes to some of the characters but then that just made it unique, in my opinion.

Overall, it was a very satisfying drama and adaptation of Prince of Tennis. One of the better ones in my opinion! Even if you haven't read the manga or seen the anime version of Prince of Tennis, this is still a feel good and inspirational drama to watch. It talks about teamwork, friendship, and passion for what they love.
