Here's the information for the OVA's Vol 4 from Bandai Visual's website:-
Release Date: 22 Sept 2006
Catalogue Number: BCBA-2464
Price: 5250 yen
First-press freebie: 2 photos
Audio Commentatory done by: Atobe Keigo & Oshitari Yuushi
Includes 2 eps:
- Ep 6 Koroshiya to Yobareru Otoko (The Man who is called the Killer)
The Singles 1 match between Tezuka and Kite Eishiro from Higa.
- Ep 7 Beach Volley no Oujisama (The Prince of Beach Volleyball)
Seigaku heading to the beach for a training camp and meeting Rokkaku there by chance where they have a beach volleyball match
For these episodes, there are some differences in content between the OVA and the manga. The beach volleyball match involving Seigaku and Rokkaku was actually held before the Nationals in the manga where they had a joint training camp. The OVA shifts it to somewhere after the Higa arc which seems quite ridiculous because Rokkaku has already lost in the Nationals and it doesn't look logical for them to be training now. Likewise in the Singles 1 match, it is mentioned in the synopsis that Kite actually antagonises Tezuka by aiming a stone at the latter with the use of the tennis ball which I don't remember it being in the manga. As such, I don't really like the idea of this because the purpose of this development gives the idea that they are trying to show Tezuka retalliating with response to the antics of the rival although his image suggests otherwise. Can they not try anything funny with Tezuka?!
Anyway, I'm just glad that we are approaching the end of the Higa arc but that leaves barely 3 volumes for Hyotei if there are only 7 volumes in this OVA series. We should know that the Hyotei-Nationals arc stretches much longer than Higa so I'm hoping that they do not end the OVA without finishing with Hyotei. Subsequently for Shitenbouji and most likely Rikkai who is going to be Seigaku's rival in the finals, I doubt the OVA series will cover them unless Bandai Visual decides to continue with the releases until the entire manga is wrapped up.
Something to look forward in Vol 4 would be hearing the voices of Atobe and Oshitari. It should be fun to hear these two characters with sexy voices talking crap in the OVA. ^__^

Hey this is some huuuge news, I'd like to know if I could post a link to this lovely blog of yours in some tenipuri coms on LJ? Let me know!
The beach volley is really non-sense. They don't have time to play beach volley, since thy play every day.-_-
But thanks for the news.
And you're right there are only 6 episodes left for Hyôtei. How will they manage it?
Hi kg08, you may post the link but could you also please kindly let me know where you will be posting it on? Thanks.
Actually, I feel that they should have followed the flow of the manga instead of jumping the sequence. And yes, Pegasus, you pointed out something which is contradictory in this OVA because the tournament goes on every day and I surely doubt that Seigaku has the time to go to Chiba for a training camp in the midst of the competition.
The journal entry's here ^__^ (Thank you again!)
I just thought after, that maybe it's a flashback but even a flashback would be non-sense.
Putting a Beach Volley party and then only 6 ovas remaining for Hyôtei. Unless they put 1 match per ova and the S1 in 2 ovas.
Well, ending the OVA at the Hyotei arc certainly doesn't satisfy me since there's still the semi-finals against Shitenbouji and the final against Rikkai (most probably, 99% sure) to be covered. Given that each volume of the OVA is released every 2 months, the manga should have finished with Shitenbouji by the time Vol 7 of the OVA is released. Maybe we have to wait even longer for the 2nd round of the OVA to come our way.
Yeah, maybe a 2nd round for OVAS (Like in St. Seiya-_-)
DVD 4 screens and it's what we thought, after Higa chuu, beach volley http://www.tenipuri.jp/dvd/04.html
