The narrative is divided into two distinct arcs, each exploring different moments in the lives of the Seigaku tennis team members.
The first arc, "Nishikori Story," centers on Eiji Kikumaru and Shusuke Fuji during their middle school years. The story delves into their friendship and how they first met, highlighting their contrasting personalities and the development of their bond. Eiji, known for his cheerful and carefree demeanor, contrasts with Fuji's calm and analytical nature. The arc explores how their partnership on the tennis court began and how their mutual respect and understanding grew over time. It also touches on their interactions with other teammates, providing insight into the early dynamics of the Seigaku team.
The second arc, "Atobe's Gift," shifts focus to Keigo Atobe, the charismatic captain of the Hyotei Academy tennis team. This arc provides a glimpse into Atobe's life outside of tennis, revealing his affluent background and the pressures he faces as the heir to a wealthy family. The story explores Atobe's relationship with his younger sister, Karen, and how his responsibilities shape his interactions with others. The arc also highlights Atobe's leadership qualities and his dedication to his team, offering a deeper understanding of his character beyond his confident and flamboyant exterior.
Both arcs are character-driven, emphasizing personal growth, relationships, and the formative experiences that shape the players' identities. The OVA maintains a balance between lighthearted moments and more introspective scenes, providing fans with a deeper appreciation of the characters' backgrounds and motivations. The narrative complements the main series by expanding on the characters' histories and offering additional context to their actions and relationships in the broader "The Prince of Tennis" storyline.
