I just finished rewatching Ping Pong the Animation and a few days ago I completed reading the manga its based on. Its amazing that Yuasa managed to find a way to deliver a faithful adaptation while still having enough space to leave his own mark on the story. Theres things he added theres things he did differently yet it all suits the story Matsumoto wrote. Ive noticed people in the past who love this anime but dont seem aware of the fact that its based on a manga and I just really want to encourage people to try reading it and possibly seek out Matsumotos other manga like Tekkonkinkreet or Sunny which I am currently reading and enjoying a lot.
