After Tokyo is chosen as the site for the upcoming Nationals, Hyotei gets a shot at redemption by being given an invitational berth in the tournament. Meanwhile, a prodigy from Kansai is making his way toward Tokyo. Packing serious power--and a temper to match--in his small frame, this wild 7th-grader has talent and skill that could rival even Ryoma's.

"Ryoma and Keigo's incredible match turns into a battle of stamina and sheer will: whoever's left standing to make the last play will be the winner. Meanwhile, Fudomine's captain, Kippei Tachibana, plays his team's last quarterfinal match against Shitenoji. His opponent is his ex-teammate, Senri Chitose. Can Kippei overcome the demons of his past and defeat his old friend?"--P. [4] of cover.

Shusuke faces off against Akaya Kirihara, Rikkai's ruthless and brilliant player.

"The National Tournament moves into the quarterfinal stage, and the Seishun players find themselves pitted against their old rivals, Hyotei. Kicking things off is the No. 3 Singles match between Momoshiro and Hyotei's resident 'genius,' Yushi Oshitari. Will all of Moomo's strength and cunning be enough to defeat the 'Player of a Thousand Techniques'?" -- p. [4] of cover. Seishun players enter the quarterfinals stage of the National Tournament.

"Seishun's semifinal round against Shitenhoji continues with the No. 1 Doubles match, and now it's captain vs. captain as Kunimitsu and Senri square off for a fight. They're backed up by their partners Sadaharu and Hikaru... or are they?! Later Ryoma steps onto the clay against Shitenhoji's seventh-grade prodigy Kintaro, and this time neither of them are holding anything back."--P. [4] of cover.
