About the series
Adapting Takeshi Konomi’s hit manga into a European bande dessinée, Prince du Tennis ran for 42 issues from 2005 to 2013 under the Dargaud banner. The series follows the high-stakes world of junior tennis prodigy Ryoma Echizen, channeling the original’s intense matches and character-driven rivalries into a long-form French comic. While the creative team remained largely unheralded in English markets, this translation helped bridge manga storytelling with the Franco-Belgian tradition, offering a unique entry point for readers discovering the shonen sports genre through a European lens.
