A stage presentation at the Jump Festa ’19 event revealed on Saturday that Takeshi Konomi’s The Prince of Tennis and The New Prince of Tennis manga are inspiring a new anime film.
The film will feature a completely original story that will take place in the three-month time period between the events at the end of the The Prince of Tennis manga and the start of The New Prince of Tennis manga.
This ongoing sequel manga spawned its own 2012 television The Prince of Tennis II anime series.
Konomi then launched The New Prince of Tennis manga series in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine in 2009.
