Ping Pong, Vol. 3

ピンポン [Ping Pong] #3

by Taiyo Matsumoto

La storia è incentrata su Tsukimoto (‘Smile’) e Hoshino (‘Peko’), amici d’infanzia che giocano a ping pong sin da quando erano studenti delle elementari. Tsukimoto – l’impassibile ragazzo con gli occhiali, descritto come un robot da tutti quelli che lo conoscono – gioca “per ammazzare il tempo”; Hoshino – l’appassionato e carismatico ‘eroe’ che Tsukimoto idolatrava durante la loro infanzia – gioca perché “ama il ping pong e odia perdere”. Come sarà il trattamento riservato a questi due da parte del freddo e crudele mondo delle competizioni sportive? E che cosa accadrà al loro inevitabile scontro come contendenti per il trofeo singolo del liceo maschile? Adattato in un lungometraggio da Fumihiko Sori nel 2002.

Although Taiyo Matsumoto desired a career as a professional soccerplayer at first, he eventually chose an artistic profession. He gained his first success through the Comic Open contest, held by the magazine Comic Morning, which allowed him to make his professional debut. He started out with 'Straight', a comic about basketball players. Sports remain his main influence in his next comic, 'Zéro', a story about a boxer.

In 1993 Matsumoto started the 'Tekkonkinkurito' trilogy in Big Spirits magazine, which was even adapted to a theatre play. He continued his comics exploits with several short stories for the Comic Aré magazine, which are collected in the book 'Nihon no Kyodai'. Again for Big Spirits, Taiyo Matsumoto started the series 'Ping Pong' in 1996. 'Number Five' followed in 2001, published by Shogakukan.

'Ping Pong Vol. 3' en el que Peko se redime de sus pecados y vuelve a entrenar duro y en serio al tenis de mesa. Siempre hay esperanza.

Limites.
Os cria entenderam que, apesar de tudo existe um limite. E que você não pode fugir dos seus problemas e dos seus objetivos, pois o papo é um só "não é tu contra o mundo, é tu contra tu mesmo"
