Hopefully, they'll actually play some tennis and not quip around for the entirety of the show.

Teekyuu can't count to 10 so obviously a new series is required to reset the counter.
Understandable.

Will this be an actual full on tennis anime or be the same as Teekyu with a different cast?

By the way, Kinako was featured at the information episode after finale of season 6 this week (w. Nasuno, if I remember correctly because I don't follow the series. I happened to see it because of the anime following it).

Also, Yuki Nakashima will be voicing Asuka Mori in Ooyasan wa Shishunki!.

Teekyu presses on with its conquest, it can't be stopped.

Really happy with this, and hoping for a crossover series between this and Teekyuu.

She was in both episodes 11 and 12 of the 6th season (71 and 72, following Commie's episode count). Not a single word was used to explain who the girl was, as per usual in this series, so I thought it was just some random character.

When this is finished, there'll probably be enough material for season 8 of Teekyuu. The ride never ends.

This isn't a sports manga (did people really expect something serious out of this guy?). There is far more tennis than Teekyuu has, but that isn't really saying much.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

They've played tennis twice so far if I remember correctly, and something vaguely resembling tennis a couple more times.

Y'know, Usagikame's tennis club also appeared back in the national tournament arc in season 3 (i.e. episode 11) when they

Yeah, I made Teekyuu sound like a real sports anime there, even adding a spoiler tag for good measure.

But anyway, even though it isn't a sports anime I think Teekyuu is very much about tennis, since if you think about it, the high-paced back-and-forth really is nothing less than tennis given verbal form.

Beyond Chiharafuru we also have Baby Steps which has real high school students playing tennis. The Usakame girls do play tennis of a sort...

Teekyuu and Usakame's girls are in high school as well. They are just drawn that way.
