As ping pong the animation is one of my favourite animes of all time I get to read the manga instead of rewatch it for the fifth time xD But unfortunatly the manga was less quality than the anime The anime had it's character development better than how the manga show it . In the manga you will feel that everything is very fast and that make you unfeel the emotions of the characters I used to compare animes with their mangas but i couldn't find an adaption that is better than it's source before i read this manga The manga is good and all that butif you ask me i will tell you to go and watch the anime
