Full Drive

A manga about a young ping pong player who returns from Germany to make his debut in Japan.

Here is yet another example of how sports manga typically do not do well in Weekly Shonen Jump. Works like Full Drive are well drawn and Genki Ono should have found success and popularity but it didn’t and it was canceled. I truly feel like Haikyu!! and Kuroko’s Basketball are oddities for gaining popularity in Jump.
