Prince of Tennis Creator Will Sing Jump Shops' Theme Song
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Takeshi Konomi, the manga artist best known for Prince of Tennis, has signed an exclusive artist contract with Shueisha. He became the publisher's one, and only, in-house recording artist. He kicked off his career with a stage show in January and is now recording a theme song for Shonen Jump Shops. (It should be noted that Konomi tweeted the image on April 1).
