After almost a year, Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? Come back

The manga "Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? (How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?)", written by Yabako Sandrovich and illustrated by MAAM, has been resumed in the latest update of Shogakukan's Manga ONE digital service, after a ten-month suspension. The pause in serialization was due to the creative duo deciding to focus their efforts on another project, the manga "Isshou Senkin (ST✰R: Strike It Rich)".

"Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?" is a comedy that follows the story of Hibiki Sakura, an ordinary girl who decides to join a gym with the intention of losing weight. However, her initial motivation transforms into a true passion for fitness, fueled by the charismatic characters she meets along the way, including her friend Akemi and trainer Machio. The manga has been very well received thanks to its unique combination of humor, training tips, and its positive approach towards healthy living.

The manga's success led to its anime adaptation in 2019, which was equally popular, attracting a global audience that fell in love with the characters and their fun approach to exercise. The animated series, produced by Doga Kobo, helped further increase the franchise's popularity, cementing its place in fitness and entertainment culture.

A curious fact that has fascinated fans is that this work takes place in the same universe as "Kengan Ashura", another successful work by Yabako Sandrovich. This connection has generated theories and discussions in the community about possible cameos and crossovers between the characters of both series, which adds an additional layer of interest for fans of the author's works.

With its return, "Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?" promises to continue to motivate its readers to stay in shape while enjoying the adventures of Hibiki and company, reaffirming its place as one of the most beloved sports comedies today.
