Ping Pong, Vol. 1 [Matsumoto, Taiyo] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Ping Pong, Vol. 1 Review: It's one of the best stories about passion ever written. - Ping pong is an absolutely fantastic manga and anime that follows several character's journey and lead up to a ping pong tournament. All of them play for different reasons and want to get something different out of life. There is subtlety down to how a player holds the paddle saying their emotional state and outlook on life at that time. It's a master class in character writing, and character development. It's a must read for me on many levels. Review: Amazing story, great characters, and beautiful art - Taiyo Matsumoto is one of the most unique and talented creators in comics/Manga/BD. I wasn’t surprised that I appreciated this book, only how much it blew me away. I should have known better. I didn’t realize how exciting and enthralling a story about kids in high school and a ping pong tournament would be. Not to mention the amazing characters with motivations and back story. Highly recommended. Can’t wait till the second book comes out.

Love it
Was surprised/excited to find that there was finally an English language printing of this manga... now they just need to publish the rest of Matsumoto's work in English (No.5, and also that samurai one...please!!!)! Great (unique) artwork (as usual) with exciting, cinematic layouts and composition. This is one of my favorite Matsumoto works now. Looking forward to volume 2!

Matsumoto is a genius
Matsumoto is an absolute master of his craft, and ping pong may be my favorite work of his that has been translated by viz. I'm just hoping they'll translate the rest of his work as I'd buy it all in a heartbeat

Ping Pong fans rejoice!!!
If you were fans of the anime adaptation of Ping Pong, you won't be disappointed in the original story. Thanks to Viz for publishing this in English and the wait is worth it! The art style is all Taiyo Matsumoto and it's very interesting to see how they adapted the panels and art to the screen, which has a very different vibe. I didn't know much about ping pong before reading this manga, but you'll learn a lot from it, along with an engaging story. The localization is great with great translation and retouch/lettering. It will be a great addition to any manga lover's collection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
