@nDroae It is interesting to communicate with you, thank you! Well, I understand everything, including that folk may also just want to see attractive female characters without "boring males." But to me personally, this kind of logic always reminded me of porn sites, where many men occasionally watch lesbian porn because "they don't want to see that guy's bolt".

Oh, I can say so much about this ... But, better, I will not annoy the moderators and end this conversation, going to the anticipation of the Game of Thrones's final. Thanks for the discussion!

I hope the show is keeping this title outside of Japan, the other awkward (yet still somewhat grammatically correct) title doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Yes, the missed title opportunity makes me actively angry. Why fix the grammar without turning it into something approaching natural English while you're at it?

It should be, What Do You Lift? or even, Whaddya Lift? (If the question is directed at the male character, obviously it should be, What Do You Lift, Bro?)

Seems odd that a girl gets told she is fat then starts weight lifting. Aren't there other exercises much better for burning calories? Whatever, sounds potentially funny enough to check out.

Gaining and maintaining muscle does burn a lot of calories mostly because you continue to do so after exercise.

And? You say that like it's a bad thing.

You're watching too much crappy harem.


I don't understand this comment.
This isn't a harem show by any means, I don't understand how this comment is relevant

I'm still interested in this series. I know there should be quality humor.

I take it this is more of an aerobic type anime cause all the females pictured have small muscles, they look like the typical girl that goes for a morning walk everyday.

Nope, it's really about lifting, cardion and diet gets mentioned here and there but it's at least 50% lifting; the girls are supossed to be normal japanese highschoolers and the mc is just starting exercising.

The authors have another series named kengan ashura/omega which is about martial arts fights; this one has a few references to that series.

none of them has the slightest interest in this guy, one just says a couple of things and then he goes.t


Wrong. As far as I've read, Hibiki is developing interest in him.

That actually makes a lot of sense when you put it that way.

How Much Heavy Dumbbells Can You Lift is a way better title. It's stupid, certainly, but you remember it and somehow it sounds less clunky than this does.
