How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? Manga Returns from Hiatus

How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? Manga Returns from HiatusI get it. Sometimes you just need some time off from the gym. But now it’s back to pumping, baby, because Yabako Sandrovich and SAAM’s How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? is back at it!

The manga is off hiatus for the first time in 10 months, and back in Japan’s Manga ONE app. Feel the burn!

Yabako Sandrovich and SAAM launched How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? in 2016. The 20th compiled volume is due out in Japan this week.

The manga is probably best known thanks to the anime adaptation, which hit screens back in 2019. It’s also being released in English by Seven Seas, who describe it like this:

Hibiki is a teenage girl who loves to eat, but when she notices her waistline expanding, she decides to check out the local gym. The gym is full of buff dudes…and Akemi, the student council president?! When Akemi tries to convince Hibiki to take up weight training, Hibiki resists–until she meets pretty boy trainer Machio. Now, Hibiki is willing to do whatever it takes to get fit!

Yabako Sandrovich and SAAM are also the authors of the underground fighting manga Issho Senkin (Priceless Victory).
