I'm a huge fan of this pairing, as any one who reads my stories know. I try to support the growing fandom for RyoSaku and non-yaoi pairings in my own way by writing fics, encouraging others, and maintaining a RyoSaku fansite with my partner in crime, Beriath. ^o^

Oh. It was the beginning of the first episode. At the very first episode, Ryoma was the knight and Sakuno, the dasmel in distress. At first, I saw the manga of Prince of Tennis (and let's just say I wasn't too keen about it). But by watching the anime, it became a bit more interesting and what not. I could see Ryoma as the protector for Sakuno which makes me fall in love with this couple all the time. Sakuno, sweet and submissive and Ryoma, the main character who is cold, and just cocky. I think he could see her in a new light~!

~Ames

It was your fault, Cinpii. And you knew it. *drools*

Because it's the only (relatively) canon het pairing in PoT. (relatively since Ryoma just can't seem to notice Sakuno -__-;;;)

*gets bricked* ^^;; Sorry, but that _was_ the main reason. *runs and hides*

But I also agree that Ryoma doesn't seem to have that much interest in her. ^^;

But Konomi-sensei that they are becoming good friends. I think some posted that in the guestbook of RyoSaku L. Squad Productions.

And a fan can always dream. ^_^;

Ooooh~ the ep where Ryoma takes Sakuno to get her racket strings restrung, and how Momo and Nanjirou follow.. XD;; I LOVED that.

What episode is that exactly?

But I love episode 169, the part where Ryoma said, "Because...I feel nostalgic."

It can just mean so much and left so many open ends for fans like me to imagine. Haha. It was cute for Ryoma to ask for a tennis ball, really.

I'm madly in love with this pairing. Really mad. :)

There's no indifference on his part. He knows she exists, but does he consider her a friend or a love interest? Now *that's* the ten dollar question.

I first fell in love with the couple when Sakuno made Ryoma a obento and he was watching some random guy playing tennis and said 'Mada mada dane' and Sakuno thought he was giving a comment on her food. She just ran away with her obento and yelled 'Ryoma-kun no baka!' ^^ Since then I looooove this couple! :P

i loved it because of the fics.

and when i read RYOSAKU fics, it all makes me feel gigglish inside.

actually i will never know anything 'bout this anime if sakuno isn't here..^^

So yeah.

And yes, I do have very strong feelings for whomever I want to get together. :)

But hey, maybe fate urged me to be addicted to this couple. Frankly, one day, the idea of RyoSaku popped up in my mind. And I was like: 'Hmm...they sure make a good couple' so reality hit me! So I got my hands on the internet and started searching for stuffs connected to the said fandom. That's when I'm falling in love with the pairing.

I totally agree with Seresid-san, I will sue those who hated the RyoSaku pairing, be them innocent, mushy or plain sappy. Beware of me, a true-blue fanatic of RyoSalu! *flashes a furtive grin*

Gomen, my alter-ego's overwhelming me. Gotta respect it ^__^

Once again, Sumimasen!

Anyway, I'm new in here! Hi! LOL

Anyways, why do you think that it wouldn't work out? I am an avid shipper of RyoSaku ever since the first episode of Prince of Tennis. There are kind of too many hints. And welcome to fanfiction.net! I hope you'll put up more stories for us to indulge in...

well at first i SUPER-DUPER hate sakuno for being...AHHH i dont want to say *cries* anyways while i'm searching for a new anime to watch because i'm so tired of the mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch anime so i searched but one name always intrudes me... and its ryoma then suddenly a name popped again and it's sakuno then i remembered what anime they came from but first i read a lot of RyoSaku fics because i'm checking if they're the MAIN pairing of the anime but found only...less then after that after reading a lot of fics i suddenly felt obsessed or addicted to the fandom so that's why here in my loptop full of RyoSaku pictures lic my avatar hahaha

I love them ever since the first episode because I really felt (Yes, I felt it) that they are the main love team in the anime but I more love it when I watched the ep. where Ryoma wore his jacket when Sakuno requested to see how it will look on Ryoma. I thought Ryoma won't do it but he did it!!! I really almost squeeled but I prevented my self because I'm not alone in the house. I never thought that Ryoma could be so sweet (I'm gigling now). He did not want to disappoint Sakuno. Since then, I've been "obsessed" with the pairing, and that's how I fell in love with the pairing. I just hope they finished the anime here in the Philippines. They replayed the POT three times but they always didn't finish the anime. Anyway, I have watched the anime in DVD and I more like it when it is not dubbed. :)

yeah! when momoshiro and eiji teased them? yay yay i noticed ryoma's face when sakuno ran away! haha yeah he was pretty ** off and annoyed. hahaha....

yeah... those hints definitely meant something... >_<

Ok, that was off forum topic... I liked it since the first amine episode/manga chapter, when ryoma bought her juice, didn't it occur to him that he could have just walked off, no juice for Sakuno?

Oh my goddddd I love this coupleee

He's the perfect friggin anime guy! Not like in all those harems where the guy is super sweet, stupid, and perverted. It's just my preference but the best anime guys are the jackasses ^o^ and Sakuno is just soooo cuteee! I HATE THAT THEY DIDN'T GET TOGETHER IN THE ENDDDDD UGHHH IT BLOWS, and I wish there were more fanfics on them too -_-, ugh it just ticks me off that the best shounen animes never have at least one main couple that they promote, it makes the anime so much better and appeals to more audiences ;__;

OH WELL RYOSAKU :D

I've visited this site for about 2 to 3 times, but never bothered to post an answer. Either way, now I will!

The first time I saw a "Ryosaku" moment in action was when Sumire asked Ryoma to accompany Sakuno to the racket stringer. Ahaha, it was hilarious when the freshman trio 'n Nanjiroh thought tis was a date! Yeah right. :D. Well first of all, if you guys are wondering, "Hey! wasn't she in the first episode... and in the next... and soooo ooonnn..." I just saw POT by accident. The very first time I viewed the anime was when i was in the 6th grade. All I saw from the anime, when I was browsing through the cable channels, was the first ending theme. I actually thought the anime was about GANGSTERS!! --- only to find out it was about tennis.

and then i had to get to know them,

Ryoma: Cocky, snobbish, annoying, competitive(good for love triangles ;D) and gah! all the other crazy adjectives to describe him as the PERFECT AND ONLY pair for Sakuno. (Not that i disapprove of the others... though...)

Sakuno!: SHY( when will she ever lose that?!) Caring! (what an extreme twelve year old tennis player needs- his scratches! MAN THE EYE! wounds, etc.) Good cook! (What a growing boy needs) And so much more!

So now, after four frickin' years, I'm still in love with ryosaku for various reasons.

Oh yeah! They really had a moment there (I mean, Genius 241 and Nationals OVA14)!!! Hihihi.

@KenRik, why gangsters? Hehe. We started at the same time, I guess. It's been four years...hehe...

I dont know exactly when I fell in love with them. I was read the manga in first, but i don't have any feelings for this couple, (maybe just for asucaga only in that time). hehehe

I fell with them maybe when I saw forums for this couple. Oh ! or just saw that 33 (maybe? or 30?) questions !!! probably from that ... ^__^' hehehe.

now, this couple just get my 1st list, and exactly still hanging on in several years later ^^. but i still love asucaga too ^^', in my 2nd list. hehehe

and for the author of ryosaku stories which in progress. please !!! please update your stories !!! I really need that !!!

I just picked up PoT because it wasn't wrapped in plastic and the moment I saw those two I just fell in love with the pairing. That was it. So basically from the first chapter, no , maybe even the first page I was all 'SO CUTE'.

i always thought ryoma and sakuno would become a couple. even though they never developed anything beyond friendship, i know it must still be there. since the first time i saw them together on the train, i was like, "these two will definitely be together." i mean, they just look right together, and ryoma's sort of like sakuno's prince. ^-^

I got totally hooked into Prince of Tennis because I first saw Sakuno and Ryoma together on the train. I was looking for a sports anime to watch with a little romance in it. I'm a bit disappointed that they never developed. But Sakuno and Ryoma-sama are so cute.

..i fell in love with RYOSAKU when i first watched it..!!..

..though i didnt watch the first episode first..but the episode i first saw was when SAKUNO is worrying hard about RYOMA's bleeding eye..!!..XD..

..and the i read the manga and i lyk it..but i lyk the character development of SAKUNO in the manga more coz in the ANIME..it seems that she doesn't improve..huhu..!!..

..oh well and then i watched it..isn't it a wonder that SAKUNO was seen first first before RYOMA..??..i mean..thats one thing..!!..i might sound weird..but it does seem to send a message to me..!~!..=]

..nyaha.,.!!..

..oh well..!!..RYOSAKU 4ever..!!..

=]

lolz... i fell in love with Ryosaku coz they look cute 2gether and well i can see that Ryoma doesnt dislike her well... overall i think Ryoma will pick sumone like Sakuno who isnt the noisy type^^

And i got a hint from a biography^^

It says there things about Ryoma and well it stated that Ryoma's type of girl is the one who is "Suited for wearing braids" Well throughout the series Sakuno is thje only person who wears braids and it suited her!!XD

Yay!! RyoSaku!!

The flame was lit on the episode when Ryoma wore his regular jersey for Sakuno. It was fanfiction that rekindled it.
