Episode synopsis

The boys seem to have lost hope of winning their upcoming tournament, but Kyoko offers them an incentive they can't ignore. Reinvigorated, the boys practice harder than ever.

About The Ping Pong Club

Inaho Jr. High's Boys Ping Pong Club has only 6 members, the club minimum. Takeda is your average nice guy. Kinoshita is good looking and popular with girls. Unfortunately, the rest are branded as losers. Tanabe is too foreign, while Tanaka is petite and perverse. Maena and Izawa are truly deviant, and their crazed antics have earned the team some powerful enemies. In spite of their differences, the team needs to work together to retain their practice room and club status.
