The Prince of Tennis: Mini Theater
テニスの王子様
Synopsis
Three comedic mini-theaters: tennis players play games, love letters test reactions, and Yukimura paints reluctant Sanada.
Mini Theater 1 Seishun Academy faces off against Rikkai University-Affiliated Middle School in an unofficial rematch. Instead of playing tennis, the players end up getting distracted by a game of Acchi Muite Poi and a battle between whose data is superior. Mini Theater 2 Mysterious love letters are appearing in shoe lockers at Seishun Academy. Sadaharu Inui sees this as a perfect opportunity to observe the regulars' response to receiving a love letter addressed to them. Mini Theater 3 Seiichi Yukimura asks his vice captain, Genichirou Sanada, to be the model for his next painting. Unfortunately, Sanada's reluctance doesn't seem to be doing anything for Yukimura's creativity.
