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!
