The crossover between people who workout and watch anime is pretty high these days, so much so that it isn't uncommon to see gym selfies with anime shirts across social media. Now another work by the author of Kengan Ashura aims to get people interested in weightlifting using what else, but cute high school girls.

Danberu nan kiio moteru?, which I'm going to translate as How many kilos is the dumbbell you're lifting? is the story of a high school student who's looking to lose a few pounds and in the process discovers her passion for weightlifting. The Web manga is currently serialized in the Web anthology Ura Sunday with the anime adaptation being handled by the following staff and cast:
