Ping Pong

A sports manga about two teenager athletes who interact with rivals and friends though competitive ping pong.

We’ve done a Retrospective on this series and covered the anime adaptation.

An absolute modern manga masterpiece. You have some of Taiyo Matsumoto‘s best work when it comes to dynamic paneling. The simple yet understandable nicknames of the characters and their relationships. The friendship, rivalry and trust between Smile and Peco is perfectly paced and a joy to read. I also highly recommend Masaaki Yuasa directed anime series as well.

Available in English from VIZ.
