Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? is a 2016 manga.

Sakura Hibiki is a 17-year-old schoolgirl who is eating too much and exercising too little lately. Realizing that, she decides to look into enrolling in a nearby gym. There she meets Akemi Soryuuin, the no.1 student of her school, who surprisingly has a muscle fetish. A little disgusted by all that muscle, Sakura almost gives up on enrolling, until she meets a handsome teacher in the gym, who makes her quickly change plans...

Written by Yabako Sandrovich. Art by MAAM. Serialized on Shogakukan's Ura Sunday.

Tropes used in Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? include:

• Big Eater: Why do you think Sakura is even the protagonist of this story? The thing is, being a Big Eater is also how people build muscles, so Akemi thinks Sakura is "talented" for being one.
• Big No: At the end of Chapter 2, Sakura let out one of these after Akemi says they should "walk the path of muscles together" to become "the strongest macho folk ever".
• Bishie Sparkle: Machio has these.
• Bishonen: Machio, to the point Sakura decides to enroll in the academy just to get close to him.
• Male Gaze: Machio's explanation of how to do bench press seems innocent. The focus on the illustrations on the example model Akemi's abdomen and breasts is not, to the point an offscreen voice screams at him.
• The Ace: Akemi is rich,beautiful and charismatic, and "accomplished in all she does".
