30 episodes in and loving it.

I've tried to binge this drama but 40 eps is too many to binge. So, several marathons of episodes later, I am addicted to this show. I love the characters, the story and the tennis! OMG the action is amazing in this show...and I'm not one to follow tennis at all. This drama is adapted from a manga (which I have not read) but the audience can almost see the images from the manga in the characters on the screen - the way they move, their 'special' skills, their expressions - completely addictive. I was expecting the usual plot...a few fab episodes (maybe 10) then...the story starts to drag....the repetitions begin...the weird plot twists and antagonists that make no sense...The Prince of Tennis somehow avoids that by sticking true to the plot of a team of athletes working towards a common goal - the "Nationals" championship. The audience sees the training, the psychology, the injuries, the arguments, the conflicts with rivals, the bromances. I can't wait to watch the team at Nationals!!!
