Yes, the series adapts Takeshi Konomi's manga New Prince of Tennis, which began serialization in Jump Square in 2009. It serves as a direct sequel to his original Prince of Tennis manga, continuing the story of Ryōma Echizen and the Seigaku team in a more intense competitive setting.
Who voices Ryōma Echizen in the series?
Ryōma Echizen, the central protagonist, is voiced by Junko Minagawa, who reprises the role from the original Prince of Tennis anime. Minagawa's performance brings the same sharp confidence and competitive fire that made Ryōma such a compelling lead throughout the franchise.

The main series runs for 13 episodes, all released in 2012. There is also a Specials season (Season 0) containing 24 additional episodes, making the full Prince of Tennis II experience considerably longer for fans who want to explore every corner of the U-17 camp storyline.

Fans of the series tend to enjoy other sports anime like Haikyu!! (2014) for its intense team dynamics, Free! (2013) for its competitive club atmosphere, and Run with the Wind (2018) for its underdog spirit. Stars Align (2019) and Ahiru no Sora (2019) are also strong picks for sports anime enthusiasts.
How was The Prince of Tennis II received by fans?
The series was warmly received by the existing fanbase, particularly for reuniting the beloved Seigaku voice cast and raising the competitive stakes with the U-17 camp premise.
