Atobe Keigo Makes His First anan Cover Appearance
Shin Tennis no Oujisama celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. From September 30, the new series Shin Tennis no Oujisama U-17 WORLD CUP Kesshou Member Ketteisen is scheduled to begin broadcasting, and fan anticipation is rising during the anniversary year.
In the anan 2514 special edition, Atobe Keigo makes his first cover appearance. The charismatic Tenipuri figure wears an original black suit and shows a bold, fearless smile, radiating an allure that is hard to believe for a middle school student. His sharp gaze carries the dignity of a king. The special gravure suits him as the captain who has led the U-17 Japan representative middle school team.
A Surprise Back Cover with Four Black-Suited Stars
Tenipuri is known for surprises, and this issue extends its spotlight to the back cover. Echizen Ryoma, Fuji Syuusuke, Atobe Keigo, and Oshitari Yuushi appear together in a dream gravure.
Echizen Ryoma combines the talent of a super rookie with the charm of a first-year middle school student. Fuji Syuusuke, a beautiful genius, turns around with a fleeting smile. Atobe Keigo exudes an aura that controls the space, while the stylish Oshitari Yuushi looks proudly at his ally. Ryoma and Fuji, Atobe and Oshitari are rivals in the new anime’s final member decider and comrades who have pushed each other to greater heights. The special-edition back cover captures their fighting spirit and their resolve to carry Japan.
15-Page Feature and Cast Interviews
Inside, the issue devotes 15 pages to Shin Tennis no Oujisama. The gravure of the four back-cover stars comes with special messages available only here, along with behind-the-scenes stories from the shoot. Readers can take in both their pride as tennis players and their words as themselves.
In cast interviews, Minagawa Junko, Kaida Yuki, Suwabe Junichi, and Kiuchi Hidenobu—who have brought the work to life for about 25 years—discuss their love for Tenipuri. The feature includes nostalgic episodes that may move longtime fans.
Player Guide and Match Highlights
The appeal of Shin Tennis no Oujisama also lies in its unique characters, who compete as representatives of Japan beyond school and grade boundaries. The magazine includes an original player directory of 22 middle school and high school players to watch in Shin Tennis no Oujisama U-17 WORLD CUP Kesshou Member Ketteisen. Readers can review their data before the matches begin. The issue also offers a tournament table and commentary on highlights, delving deeply into the world of Tenipuri.
