I think all the Oofuri and H2 and Slam Dunk and ES21 have made me forget the most important thing to keep in mind while reading new PoT chapters: Prince of Tennis is not really a sports series. Sure, it uses sports as the setting, but it doesn't follow the structure of a sports series, it doesn't have the same conventions, the same tone. It's more a battle series and when I remember that and take a deep breath, everything works so much better.
