Ping Pong the Animation

Peco and Smile grew up around the same table-tennis table, but their attitudes could hardly be more different. Peco relies on his natural ability with careless confidence, while the reserved Smile holds his talent in check. At Katase High, their coach sees potential that neither boy is fully willing to pursue.

Matches against formidable opponents force them to confront defeat, discipline, and the limits of talent. A player from China and rivals whose identities depend on winning complicate their path. As their ambitions diverge, Peco and Smile must rediscover what brought them to the sport and what remains of their friendship when confidence begins to break.
