Tennis no Ouji-sama OVA ANOTHER STORY: Kako to Mirai no Message Specials
テニスの王子様 OVA ANOTHER STORY ～過去と未来のメッセージ
Two short chibi character specials included in both volumes of Tennis no Ouji-sama OVA ANOTHER STORY: Kako to Mirai no Message. The specials feature the Oshitari cousins in a Manzai (漫才) setup [a style of stand-up comedy in Japan, which usually involves two performers—a straight man (tsukkomi) and a funny man (boke)]. "Aruhi no Oshitari" involves Oshitari Yuushi who is tired of being the tsukkomi and wants to try his hand at being a boke but with disastrous results. "Aruhi no Oshitari 2" is about Oshitari Kenya in the role of a boke whose jokes didn't get through to the audience in a joint comedy show with Seigaku and Shitenhouji.

How watching this pays the artists
Every time you watch Tennis no Ouji-sama OVA ANOTHER STORY: Kako to Mirai no Message Specials on a legitimate streaming service, a portion of that revenue flows back to M.S.C, the voice actors, the composer, and the animators who made it. Subscribing or watching on an ad-supported tier is how the work continues.
Where the money actually goes
Streaming services pay licensing fees to the production committee that financed the show. That committee distributes revenue to the studio, the publisher of the source material, the music label, and the broadcasters who originally aired it. The animators themselves are typically employed or contracted by the studio; their pay comes from the studio’s share of these licensing dollars.
Piracy doesn’t reduce streaming-service revenue evenly — it removes the underlying viewership that justifies future licensing investment. Less licensing investment means smaller studio budgets, lower pay for animators, and fewer shows greenlit.
Torinagi surfaces every legitimate option so you can watch on the service you already pay for, or on a free ad-supported tier if one carries this show. We never host video.
