    I just saw it, and it's pretty nuts. It's about two boys, Hoshino (aka Peco) and Tsukimoto (aka Smile), who grew up playing ping pong. Peco is the wild guy with the bowl haircut, and he's always overly emotional. Smile got his name cuz he almost never smiles--in fact he's the opposite of Peco in that he almost never shows emotion. Yet they are the best on their high school's team. They go up against some pretty nuts rivals at two tournaments. Meanwhile, there are sub-plots that have do with social/mental issues amongst the various characters. Oh, and there are also some funny/nuts parts that remind me of anime.
