Manga 'Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?' (How Many Kilograms are the Dumbbells You Lift?) is getting an anime adaptation.

Plot Summary

Quote:

Sakura Hibiki is your average high school girl, with a voracious appetite. Noticing her clothes tightening in lieu of her slowly expanding waistline she decides to look into enrolling in the nearby gym. There she runs into a girl from her grade named Souryuuin Akemi.

Akemi, who has a muscle fetish tries to get Hibiki to enroll in the gym despite its high ratio of macho men. Thankfully a beautiful trainer, Machio, appears and unknowingly convinces her to enroll and start her quest to a great body.

Written by Kengan Asura's author, Sandrovich Yabako.
A different artist does the art though.

Dumbbell's more like a comedy 4-koma.

Clearly this gentlemen is preparing for Mr. Olympia.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

FlareKnight · 2019-07-03, 11:37

Well....that was certainly memorable.

grecefar · 2019-07-03, 13:07

I have mixed feelings... I'll give it three chapters.

Tong · 2019-07-03, 17:19

Even better than I expected!
The information was actually pretty solid and useful. Definitely watching this until the end!

I was horribly reminded of the time someone described the young Arnold Schwarzenegger as looking like "a condom stuffed with walnuts".

Hibiki is never going to lose weight if she doesn't get her eating under control.

James Rye · 2019-07-04, 18:00

55.4kg on 160 cm is that really so much? Cause B88 W65 H88 doesn't sound so nightmarish to me.
Also this got a real peppy Intro song! I like it, I probably won't skip it like I do with most Intros those days. The outro is also adorable with its chibi muscle song. <3

All in all, this was a great start! Akemi's muscle fetish is on spot, her heavy breathing is as sexy as I imagined it to be and her love for training is undefeated by anyone else. Hibiki is cure, lazy and really just a normal girl who wants a slim body and a prince charming, only big difference is her huge appetite. Machio with his babyface, MACHO BODY and his knowledge is great as well for this kind of "educational with ero aspects" anime with the girls doing his workout explanation in tight gym uniforms. I can see this getting lots of fans for many reasons.^^

It is easy to think of Hibiki as a mere caricature of human beings, until we realize that at present time there is a real obesity crisis out there which could be easily controlled if changing eating habits could be accomplished by most people with a mere thought.

And now, the crossover everyone is thinking but no one dares to say the name

Uzamaid!

I never said it was easy! I haven't managed it myself. I get lots of exercise through my martial arts lessons and practice, but because I still just eat what I like when I like I haven't lost any weight.

This anime is a riot. While I’m not sure the technique for bench press is what I’d recommend (when performing the motion, one is supposed to keep their elbows from flaring out, touch the bar lightly to their lower pec and engage their feet), overall, I am thoroughly enjoying the comedy aspects: this is definitely worth watching all the way through. I’ve been pumping iron for eight years, but I still remember what it was like starting out.

alex_drian · 2019-07-07, 12:05

Is fine, so I give it 3 episodes for now.

How come I just eat 1-2 times a day and make 50 minutes of exercise with that stupid shit Ab Tomic and I still can get a good abdomen.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: The biggest surprise is that this isn't half-episode long or less. But it actually wasn't that bad. I still wouldn't take training lessons from an anime though. I highly doubt such a popular gym would be cheap enough for a normal high-schooler that just wants to diet to choose, but sure, I guess? Oh, and the OP sounds similar to UzaMaid. Yeah, I know both are made by Douga Koubo. I'm just saying I prefer if they have more patterns for "colorful" OPs. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
