While I got my New Prince of Tennis One Coin Grande The Second Game figures on June 18th, it took me quite a while to finally get around to make a post about them because they just left me speechless. Or well, not really THEY. HE would be more appropriate.

Jiroh Akutagawa is my number one favorite Prince of Tennis character, even beating my beloved St. Rudolph. He just means SO much to me; despite having weird sleep abnormalities, he is very likely the happiest character in the whole series. He has been an incredible inspiration to me, and continues to be every day. He was never a heavily merchandised character, but I still kept hoping that maybe he'd get a figure some day... and after like six years of being into Prince of Tennis, he did! He was announced on the company Kotobukiya's "es blog", which is their "merchandise for girls" blog,
on September 28th last year.
AND HERE HE IS, AND HE IS PERFECT. I will give him his very own entry because he is perfect and review his setmates separately later.
