テニスの王子様 - Genius 248

tenisu no oujisama (テニスの王子様) - Prince of Tennis

Here are some of the words I had to look up to read the Prince of Tennis manga Genius 248 (all twenty or so manga pages, which means they're mainly pictures). I haven't read Japanese in a while, so it took me a really long time. Plus, the new characters all speak with Osaka accents, so I have to guess at the real endings of the words. I guess I should get used to the accent, though, seeing as how I'll be living in Kansai-ben central.
