An official website has launched and announced that manga Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? (How Many Kilograms are the Dumbbells You Lift?) will get a TV anime for this summer.

Synopsis
Hibiki Sakura 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 joining the nearby gym. There, she runs into a girl from her grade named Akemi Souryuuin.

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. (Source: MU, edited)

Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? on MAL

This is how Ai Fairuz (ファイルーズあい) looks like since there's no profile available online as of now (only shows that she was/is in Profit Seiyuu Schooling).

This will probably be a short.

Haha, I've read this series before and it gets weird fast with the amount of muscles. I bet they'll throw in commentary like in the manga about the exercise routines. Doga Kobo will make it happen!

And thus, anime was saved.

That sound like this anime will be hilarious, however, this might be a short.

I love sexy muscle girls

Another anime that I will add to my list

Nice! That's a fun manga that maybe hasn't motivated me to go to the gym, but I sure like seeing the girls doing exercice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Doga Kobo being the one animating it is pretty surprising, but I have 0 complaints with how nice their quality is.

I'm interested, even if this turns out to be a fanservice of people in gym wear.

Now this is unexpected. It's a fun manga, but this is probably gonna be a short.

This will be interesting. Can't wait to see some muscles in action.

Probably a short as people are saying above, but the series is really fun to follow so I hope it will deliver.

Based Machio animated and Jason Statham.

nobody tagged me here?

Other than promising studio, it looks pretty fun. I bet it will be short, but who cares.

This smells after Issho ni Training with Hinako... Well anyway... I'm looking forward then...xD

This smells like this is going to be a short ;; reee- But this looks pretty fun, we will have to see.

Ah yes, this ticks all of my boxes. Looking forward to this one.

Nice, I like this manga. Probably gonna be a short.

Set in the same universe as Kengan Asura, for those interested.

Girls with muscles ugh the most disgusting thing gonna pass on this shit.

Sign me the fuck up

Gym monthly fee will be 100% free on the first month to those who sign-up for our 1 year membership OwO

I thought you weren't into muscle girls...

Be sure to read the small lines aswell! :-O

Doga kobo adapted this. Ok, im in.

that don't mean there won't be other girls i can fap to

Nice. This manga was a guilty pleasure for me.

when i thought Japan animation has peaked, they hit you with things like these smh..

ptw i guess

This must be fun.-

the producer of this anime is a gym ?? damn that’s so fitting 😎

I can appreciate the art of getting fit.

this anime smell good, we'll see

She's not even that muscular. A shame.

you haven't seen what she can do yet tho

Excited for this one! ^.^

Can't wait for this summer

Finally the anime I was waiting for.

Hot anime girls working out in a gym? Sounds good to me.

Yeah right an anime to promote otaku's to work out as if, they're gonna even try to be motivated by it.

The lastly ever waited sparkle of motivation to stick to fitness this might be, maybe. Aside from that, the manga is pretty entertaining and actually teach you a thing or two about how to properly do you fitness journey

The manga that had the most gratuitious depictions of toned girls sweating a river while exercising with suggestive camera angles is getting an anime!?!

Is this late Christmas or what? Hell YES!!

It could be a fun one, I'll see it, someone knows when it starts to be published?
