Despite being blinded during his intense match, Shusuke Fuji is still a force to be reckoned with.  He manages to stay in the game by using his other four senses to predict where the ball is on the court.  His opponent, Akaya Kirihara, really does not want to loose, but the game seems to be Fuji’s.  Kirihara tries everything in his power to win, but is it enough?  And, if he loses, will his captain acknowledge his effort?

Meanwhile, the Seishun and Rikkai teams are preparing for the final match of the Kanto Tournament finals.  This one will determine which team is the best!  The matchup is between the assistant captains of both teams, Genichiro Sanada (aka Emperor) and Ryoma Echizen.  This proves to be a very intense competition right off the first serve, with Echizen using some of his best and most energy draining moves early on.  Will he make it to the end of the match?  And what does the Emperor have up his short sleeve to beat Echizen with?

The intensity of the matches and the player’s emotions are quite vivid and very well drawn.  The tennis moves and the intensity of them literally jump off the page. The demonic look of Akaya is drawn fits his character perfectly. 


IN SUMMARY:
Seishun is getting the upper hand.  Can they keep it?
