Synopsis

Gluttonous high school girl Hibiki Sakura loves indulging in greasy street food and midnight snacks until a blunt remark from her best friend reveals she has gained significant weight. Panicked, Hibiki resolves to join the newly opened Silverman Gym, only to discover it is a hardcore bodybuilding haven dominated by terrifyingly muscular men. Intimidated, she prepares to flee until she encounters sophisticated schoolmate Akemi Soryuin, who harbors a fanatical muscle fetish. Guided by cheerfully terrifying personal trainer Naruzo Machio, Hibiki embarks on a comedic journey of barbell squats, protein shakes, and genuine physical fitness.
