If you liked Hunter x Hunter add

...then you might like Hanma Baki add

Both are shounen that question the moral and aesthetic implications of the demographic. While stylistically different and almost polar-opposites tone-wise, both series go to great lengths to make their point, telling several (rather thematically disconnect) stories in order to amplify the exploration of their main thematic. They both feature a protagonist that challenges shounen conventions and subvert the establish shounen tropes, although Hunter x Hunter is more blatant about it. They differ greatly in narrative, although both have the superficial element of a son aiming for his father (defeating him in Baki and finding him in HxH). Both series also continue after this goal is (more or less) achieved, further challenging shounen standards

If you liked Ping Pong add

...then you might like Kokou no Hito add

Both manga belong to the psychological/sports/seinen genre. As such, they focus mainly on the psychology of their characters instead of the actual sport. Both have amazingly written, fleshed out and developed characters. They both have a unique artstyle, although Kokou no Hito looks gorgeous while Ping Pong looks eccentric. Even during the execution of the respective sport (Ping Pong and Mountain Climbing) the characters are given the focus, with lots of imagery and symbolism interrupting the actual sport Read both, you won't regret it!
