Variety is certainly the spice of life! Prince of Tennis is a collection of 42 graphic novels by Takeshi Konomi. It has also been made into an anime series. Ryoma Echizen is a 7th grade tennis prodigy who has just moved back from a successful tennis career in the US. He's virtually unknown in Japan, but in volume 2, "Adders Fang" he begins to prove his abilities against older boys at Seishun Academy. I don't read much manga, so I'm unsure how this compares with most. It is listed as being appropriate for all ages, but I can't help noticing the theme of pedophilia throughout. It still makes for an quick enjoyable read. A definite change of pace.
