The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup premiered on TV Tokyo<\/a> in July 2022. Crunchyroll<\/a> streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English dub<\/a>. The anime was the first new television anime in the franchise<\/a> in about a decade.<\/p>\n

Crunchyroll describes the series:<\/p>\n

When tennis phenom Ryoma Echizen is kicked out of Japan’s elite U-17 training camp for breaking the rules, he’s despondent. But a stroke of good luck hits when he’s able to try out for the U.S. team. Proving himself against their hardened veterans isn’t going to be easy, and if he is accepted, he’ll have to play against his former friends. Can he help his new brothers smash their way to victory?<\/p>\n

The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Semifinal debuted in October 2024. The anime centers on the Japan vs. Germany semifinal, and is itself a sequel<\/a> to The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup anime series.<\/p>\n

Takeshi Konomi<\/a> serialized<\/a> the original manga in Shueisha<\/a>‘s Weekly Shonen Jump<\/a> magazine from 1999 to 2008. The manga follows middle school tennis player Ry\u014dma Echizen as he battles rivals to reach the national tournament. The manga inspired a 2001-2005 television anime, two anime feature films<\/a> and a theatrical short, various video anime projects<\/a>, a live-action film<\/a>, a live-action television series in China, and a popular stage musical series.<\/p>\n

Konomi launched The New Prince of Tennis<\/a> sequel manga in Shueisha’s Jump Square<\/a> magazine in 2009. Shueisha published the manga’s 47th compiled book volume on June 4. Konomi announced in July 2025 that he plans<\/a> to end the serialization of The New Prince of Tennis within a year.<\/p>\n
