Prince of Tennis volumes 5-9 QUESTION!!!

So, it's finally happened. I've convert them all. That's right. Them all.

Finally, after so many years of fandom, all my siblings are manga buying FIENDS! While this is a very good thing, it also has the unfortunate downside of me having to be the manga nazi-- dictating what can and cannot be read by each of the younger sibs.

Well, the manga nazi needs your help!:

My brother read the first four volumes of Prince of Tennis. They're rated "all" so I wasn't really worried about it. Now that his birthday has rolled around, he'd like the family to get him volume 5-9. This gift will be presented to him at a birthday party with several very anti-manga family members present, and this makes me nervous. Would you guys mind telling me if there's anything I should be worried about the Aunt and Uncle flipping through and seeing? (Even language. I was once petitioned to burn furuba on account of language. *quivers*)

Thanks a million, guys! It seemed shounen manga, my arch-nemesis, pursues me still! Curses! *shakes fist*

Considering it's still rated All Ages, you oughta be fine.

In the first few volumes there might have been like 1 or 2 very mild profanities. I dont know anything about 5-9, sorry.

Prince of Tennis? Nah.
As far as shonen manga go, that one is extremely tame. Granted, I've only read a bit of PoT, but I seriously doubt it will have anything for you to worry about in later volumes.

And Viz has gotten, shall we say, "ultra-conservative" lately when it comes to language in Shonen Jump titles so that shouldn't be a problem for you....

Yeah, is this a good manga? Interesting?

I think that MasterDias has answered the original question well enough, or certainly better than I am qualified to answer it.

If you don't mind overdramatization of tennis, I think you would find it overall worthwhile.
