The Prince of Afterschool?
REALLY?
Clearly, the influence of the musical has been way too great.
If everyone starts singing and dancing and playing tennis with a spotlight, I will laugh. If all the characters are based on the actors in the myu, I will cry. |

It didn't say in the article that it was going to be based on the musical though - it only said that it will include feature articles about the musical, as well as free tickets. I assume that the "collaboration" only meant that the tribute manga will help advertise the musical, and the musical will help advertise the tribute manga. I could be wrong though (let's hope not  ). |

Most of the people in the Prince of Tennis community at Livejournal said the same things when I linked to the original news article at Anime News Network last month. I'm excited either way because I love the manga and the musicals more than the anime, but it's silly to assume that just because it's a joint-project that the new manga is going to attempt to panel-and-ink the musicals. I agree that this is probably to advertise the newer musicals, because what with the manga's completion and the anime coming to a close, it's akin to trying to get folks to see the Harry Potter movies without anymore books being released that same summer.
I'm imagining a mini-sequel or an omake chapter more than anything else. Maybe if we're lucky it will be a much better aftermath than what we got with the original ending, as I'd like to know what happened to the other characters besides the Seigaku boys. |

| I'd love to see what happened to the other characters too! Most of my favorites are actually players from the other schools (like Sengoku Kiyosumi and Kirihara). |
