Q15: Speaking of Sakuno-chan’s tennis level, does she have a signature move?

Q16: Yuushi-kun and Kenya-kun have matching racquets. Is there a story behind that?

Q17: Will Akaya take after Sanada and lead with an iron fist?
A17: When it comes to leading their underclassman, Tamagawa will take a soft approach, whereas Akaya will display his true strength in tennis and as a result the club members will follow him.
Q18: Since Kaidou Kaoru-kun doesn’t do well with monsters and ghosts, is he okay when he goes out running at night?

Q21: What is Oishi’s hair like when he goes to sleep and wakes up?
A21: It’s a bit of a local legend because nobody has ever seen Oishi do those things. It’s probably just that he wakes up before everyone else.
Q22: Does it seem likely that Gakuto will grow in height from here on out?
A22: I think he will. Every day he drinks a litre of milk, it’s like he’s trying to make himself sick, lol.

A24: He’ll talk to all sorts of girls, but it always ends in friendship instead. Unlucky.
Q25: Jirou sleeps the majority of the day away. Are his grades okay at school?
A25: He’s studying by means of hypnopedia, so unexpectedly his school grades are good, lol. Since Atobe also knows this, he forgives Jirou sleeping right up until the start of matches.
Q26: Looking at Chitose (194cm) and Ochi-senpai (226cm), what have you thought of them?
A26: Let’s go buy pairs of long, tengu-like geta (40cm)… is what I have thought, lol.
Q27: Sae-san is called “uselessly handsome,” so does that mean that Shiraishi thinks he’s full of uselessness?
A27: There’s no uselessness in hot guys!
Q28: Inui was wearing a good luck bracelet until the ranking event when he came back as a regular. It’s a bit surprising, but is he the sort to pray?
A28: He received the good luck bracelet from an elementary school student from the neighborhood. Inui’s the sort who doesn’t really believe in religious prayers, but for some reason or another he couldn’t take it off… that is the warm and fuzzy story from that time.
Q29: What’s the reason that Yuuji came to like Koharu?
A29: During the time of the “girl’s party that’s one in body and mind,”1 when they were riding home together on a bike, Koharu was in front peddling. He swerved when he thought he was going to run over a ladybug, and they fell off the bike. As they were lying down on the ground, they started laughing… I think that was the beginning.
Q30: What does Mizuki think of his home in Yamagata?
A30: He’s a grandpa’s boy, so when he goes home his dialect comes out, and he becomes a simple, obedient, good boy. But when he goes back to Tokyo, everything goes back to normal, lol.

Q33: Is Momoshiro’s “Peace and Love Faction”2 properly practicing tennis?
A33: They’re entertained by Momoshiro’s narrative, but the truth is that they’re properly practicing the fundamentals!
Q34: I feel like Hirakoba-kun’s dialect is a lot stronger than the others, is that because he lives with his grandmother?

A35: Of course, even now he doesn’t go anywhere without it.
Q36: Is Shinji-kun grumbly over social media?

A49: It didn’t look like it from the outside, but very much so in his heart!
Q50: If everything about Irie is a lie, does that mean that his glasses and curly hair are also lies?

Q51: What’s the state of Jackal’s father’s ramen shop?
A51: Relatives and Bunta’s family goes anytime there’s an event, so it’s thriving. And, ever since Bunta’s plan of adding a sweets menu, customers have doubled!
Q52: Mouri has a habit of skipping. When he was at Shitenhouji, did he participate in things?

Q60: They jumped into waterfalls, had barbeques, they glamped… it’s like they were specifically making a camp outside of the training camp.
Q61: If Kabaji’s ability to copy was to be evolved, would that mean it would go in the direction of Muga no Kyouchi or Illusion?
A61: It’s possible, yes. If Kabaji were to enter the Japanese representatives, I think it would be an interesting development.
Q62: When Akazawa became captain and Mizuki did not, was it decided without incident?
A62: Yes. The captaincy was decided without a hitch. Mizuki likes to orchestrate and control from behind, so he’s the type who prefers to leave it to someone else to be up front.

A77: He was a bit too excitable, he caught a cold while he was sleeping, and he’s had diarrhea, lol.
Q78: Higashikata is quite muscular, so what do you think of him being more flashy as a power player?
A78: If he was able to bulk up, I think he’d probably be able to do just that!
Q79: Aragaki seems like the quiet sort, how would he handle leading the tennis club?

A105: I choose Yuuta for captain due to his strong abilities in tennis. Kaneda is supporting him as vice captain, but when Yuuta’s worrying about things, he’ll yell, “You’re only just a little brother!” and it makes Yuuta mad, lol.

Q132: With their Mad Dog Dorgias, and that they have strong doubles, did you create Australia with the image of Yamabuki in mind?
Q132: It probably is true that there’s a charm similar to Yamabuki in them, isn’t there? I’m thinking that because you have Dorgias who makes enemies with his team and tennis venues, and then the concept that through playing tennis, the team can come together as one.
