More Prince of Tennis

It's time to revisit the guys of Prince of Tennis.  Unlike the previous post, this one focuses more on artwork of single characters or duos.  All the artwork in today's post is from the anime.  I tried to go for a little variety by not featuring many of the Seigaku guys this tiime around.

The Prince of Tennis

The Prince of Tennis, the popular manga and anime franchise created by Takeshi Konomi, almost seems like the product of a "What if?" conversation:  What if you made a sports manga where every single guy on every single team had a bishie look to him? 

The story of Prince of Tennis is almost a moot point.  This series exists solely to have attractive guys play tennis against one another.  I'm not saying it's a bad thing, though.

There is a TON of artwork from this series out there.  This particular post is made up entirely of group shots and primarily features artwork from the anime.

If you're interested in checking out this series, the manga and anime are both available from Viz Media (although it looks like the anime version's release is on hold).  The original manga ended a while back but a new manga series just recently started in Japan.  If they in turn make a new anime series out of it, then there will be no shortage of artwork for years to come.

Merry Christmas! - Anime/Manga

It's time to celebrate Christmas HFG-style!  This first installment of Christmas pics has an anime/manga theme. There's a good variety to be found, including pics from shows I haven't even featured here yet.

First up, Kuroshitsuji's Ciel and Sebastian want to wish you a Merry Christmas:

Next, the Ouran High School Host Club descends from the sky bearing gifts:

Kagome tries to cuddle with Inuyasha in this pic:

Two of the couples from Junjou Romantica celebrate Christmas in these manga scans:

The Get Backers join in the Christmas fun as well:

The first Code Geass pic is a group pic while the second one has Lelouch wanting to show you a Merry Christmas:

 

 

The Christmas pics from Kyou Kara Maou are really cute.  Here are two of them:

 

 

 
I like Lockon's green Santa suit in this Gundam 00 pic:

The main characters of Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny seem to combine Christmas and New Year's in this pic:

The characters of Full Metal Alchemist go Christmas shopping in this pic:

 
I don't know if this La Corda pic is really Christmas-themed or not...but it does have snowflakes:

And finally, could you imagine if Santa looked like one of these guys from Prince of Tennis?:

Look for the second Christmas post later today!
