The Prince of Tennis wrapped up its official sequel anime run last year, but now The Prince of Tennis anime has announced a new sequel anime project is now in the works! The Prince of Tennis surprised fans as the anime taking on Takeshi Konomi had returned for its first new anime series in over a decade last year, and it finally resumed from where The Prince of Tennis II left off all those years ago. This took Ryoma Echizen through the start of the U-17 World Cup with the first slate of episodes thus far, and The Prince of Tennis is planning to return to this arc with its next major project.ย

The Prince of Tennis will be returning with a new sequel anime series titled The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Semifinal that will be adapting the World Cup semifinal match between Japan and Germany.
