The Boy's Ping Pong Club at Ina Middle School has been consistently humiliated by the women's team. It doesn't help that they'd rather follow their hormones than their coach, Shibazaki. So who comes to the rescue? The new manager, a very attractive young girl named Kyoko, who's willing to stoop down to their level to motivate them to play some real ping pong. But she can channel their collective depravity into something constructive for a change? Or are they just too messed up to care? The Ping Pong Club goes much, much further. So far, in fact, that it consistently walks a thin line between being gutbustingly hilarious and utterly disgusting.
The club includes the bishounen (cute boy) Kinoshita. There's the huge, dumb (of course) half-American character Tanabe with the killer B.O. (They sell nose-plugs for each match he's in.) There's the budding, but totally doomed relationship between Kyoko, and the team captain Takeda, who's probably the only decent lout in the bunch. And then there's Maeno and Izawa, Japan's answer to Beavis and Butthead. The Ping Pong Club will have you in stitches. You will never think of the phrase, "Moshi moshi," in the same way ever again.
