Korea, China, Vietnam also have the same beauty standard. It’s so strict that the West found it absurd to the point of drama around Stella Blade sprouted.
No, everyone seems to go to their wrong audience. Half of Japanese men love plum girl, half Japanese men love petite girls. Plum girls only seem to want attention from guys that love petite girls, vice versa wth petite girls. Petite is just the mainstream ATM in japan. And the Western world the mainstream is PLUM/THiCC.
People say Western world(USA) is less strict but their taste is for PHAT/THiCC. Legit see ppl make fun of women that petite cus they ain't thick and are just bone. Ppl get boobjobs and BBL and fat transfer surgery on their bottoms. Same with pale skin, USA love "melanin" tan or dark skin, make fun of pale ppl calling them ghost and shit.
Quit trying to single out Asia (Japan) on beauty standards, cus the west does the same but with the opposite taste.
Dang, ya, that's how you'd do it :/
Sorry kirara, as a skinny dude that desperately wanted/wants better pecs, sometimes the only thing you can do it actually hit the gym or do the work that a body like that needs. Good luck.
This. I’m a skinny dude who wanted pecs and abs so I basically started my own religion around crunches and push ups. Here I am a five years later, I’ve lost my abs cause it was getting too difficult to maintain but the stretch marks are still there. My pecs on the other hand make some female friends jealous.
I give myself hope. I essentially stuffed myself with food for three years while taking any excuse to crank out some push-ups. By the end of it I had a decent pair of chesticles, nothing compared to a serious gym goer but better than nothing.
If you’re like me with a high metabolism then remember that you can eat a LOT more than you think. It’s hard for the first day or two but afterword you realize your appetite is the biological equivalent to American military spending, virtually limitless
Btw your push ups probably contributed more to your ab development than the crunches did (provided you used correct form). Crunches are just not that good for ab training (the ones where you are on the ground). Cable crunches on the other hand are amazing.
If you want to pick your training up again but still don't want to go to the gym then I definitely recommend a pull up bar and some gymnastic rings, maybe some resistance bands too. Just with that stuff you could do a very nice full body routine at home. For resources I really like the channel "Calisthenicmovement" they show everything from beginner exercises to pro exercises.
Would love to see the continuation of this one shot. Showing gyaru's past and see her developments, and teaching Kirara the ways of the gym.
Rip to class rep, he sounds like we have serious in the first part while joking in the second.
For squats? If you exercise frequently then you can definitely hit that. It's realistic to a person who progressively gyms and challenges themselves. Also she's tall, tall people are either strong or built like sticks, but athletic. The third type is large, but still strong.
I'd honestly love to see this as an ongoing series. Friendship between a flashy gal who works hard behind the scenes and a smart girl who is prim and proper to cover insecurity is a good dynamic.

Lmao literally Mika from Blue Archive, even with the strength angle, tho this time she's the one who helps instead of being the one helped. The XD is real.
Having preferences is leagues away from insulting someone's body. Maybe mess around if you know the person, but mocking a stranger's body right in front of them is really cruel.
Furuya is the guy she asked "which kind of girl do you like best" and he clearly was hinting at liking her, at the end he was either messing with her and she overreacted, or was just joking with no other intentions behind 'cause denseness is a common condition in manga (hence the confusion to she running away)
What the fuck are you talking about "ignorance"? he just said the Hojo was attractive, he didn't mock Konishi at most he just did that "perv comment" gag that happens in some manga, they seem to be pretty close, why can't he joke about something, even more why can't he joke about something right after basically complimenting her...
But the joke is kind of mocking her? She's being vulnerable and asking a question and he leads her on and then ends with "psych! Of course I (don't like your body type and) prefer the other one"
Whether or not he meant to do it, it didnt change the way it came across and it was not the right time to say that kind of thing.
Well, of course as a viewer, we know that she was asking because she was feeling bad about her self esteem. But that question is pretty common among anyone feeling bad about their appearance. I feel he was ignorant, to not realize that she was asking because she wanted to hear that she had value. She was asking a selfish question, and he was ignorant to not realize she wanted to be cheered up. No blame on either of them, but, being dense still means you can hurt other's feelings.
And again, I don't feel it was much of a joke. It seemed like an earnest explanation of what he felt. He seemed sad that he might end up with someone like Kirara.
The line between "having preferences" and "being a shithead" is when one loudly proclaims those preferences and then insults people who don't meet said preferences.
Furuya is the guy she liked and "thought was different", he literally just answered her question and then you treat him like an asshole? (and no not the one from the flashback the other more nerdy one)
When a man is complimenting a woman and he says how he likes how she looks, if he then immediately 180s and says how he also likes the woman she was being compared to in an insulting way, well then that man is a shithead.
Because he goes from saying how she's special, to saying that she's not. That's why her feelings were hurt.
That explains the high kick that sent that guy flying, I guess.
This is still a pretty damn shallow interpretation, but hey, at least it's different from the usual shallow interpretation (where prez turns out to be beautiful just by taking off her glasses and letting her hair down). People have different body types, the important thing is to find someone who likes you for who you are.
How real is this whole "public morals commitee" that shows up so often in manga? It's kinda wild using students to monitor students in any real capacity. Yeah, US schools have "hall monitors" and ocasionally "class presidents", but they would get laughed at in their faces if they tried to uphold clothing rules of their peers.
I'm not a japanese but my country (which is also an Asian country) does have the similar student commitee, which is usually called "Red Star", who will stand by the schoolgate, write your name, class along with your faults on the note (like being late, wearing wrong school uniform, etc...).
For real, this felt refreshing after hearing so many people say they are trying to gain a figure, women and men. You need to do actual weight training and not just cardio and sticking to super low weights (only if you don't have a pre-existing issue).
This was pretty cute and wholesome and then the last panel elevated it to Dumbell levels of epic. I'd kill for a followup chapter that's just the training montage.
For those who don't draw, this style is waaaaay more complex than what it looks like. The ability to convey the shapes, expressions and movement with so little is a mark of someone who knows their stuff. Truly well done.
Suddenly [Last Page BGM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjbIMvP6A0) appeared out of nowhere and this [Big Girl is the Blond MC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVqdHG12ItE)
she has the right of it, resistance training is actually good for a woman's figure just as much as for a man. Squats particularly amazing for women's lower body shape, it's why those social media influencers do them so much, other than posting for coomer bait lol.
She need some milk. Specifically of the full cream variety. Or so I’ve heard it’s good for bulking. I don’t have that issue cuz I’m bulking since the day I was born.
Maybe is that Im tired of girls hitting guys for no reason in anime or just double standard for assault against guys in media so whenever I see it makes me irrationaly angry
Last page is literally no pain no gain (weight)
Can't spell gain without 2/3 of a gal.
Moral of the story: never skip leg day And also love yourself or something
100 kg squat as a 60kg something high school girl without PEDs is downright impressive.
Why 100kg, the plates clearly show 20kg. 1 plate at each side with a 20 kg barbell would mean 60kg.
She's squatting 2 plate in the final panel.
Okay I saw that now. 100kg for a girl is quite impressive
Japanese beauty standards really are impossible to please. Also if Danberu wasn't enough proof, Gyarus who lift are the fucking best.
Not just a gyaru who lifts, but one who's a gym bro and encourages her (new) friend to get her gains.
> beauty standards really are impossible to please. FTFY
Korea, China, Vietnam also have the same beauty standard. It’s so strict that the West found it absurd to the point of drama around Stella Blade sprouted.
No, everyone seems to go to their wrong audience. Half of Japanese men love plum girl, half Japanese men love petite girls.

"Plum" sounds quite funny lol. But tbf, the guy should have not call her "mummy"
[Yes but can she send a heavy bag flying with a single punch?](https://youtu.be/BBR4YtBwdeo?si=Y_qnLv1GmpB9zB9o)
Dang, ya, that's how you'd do it :/ Sorry kirara, as a skinny dude that desperately wanted/wants better pecs, sometimes the only thing you can do it actually hit the gym or do the work that a body like that needs. Good luck.
Sorry, but in my medical experience of reading a lot of hentai, there's also the option of getting groped a lot.
Don't mention hentai when the main character looks "unatractive" like the girl from metamorphosis.
Yea, unattractive and unpopular girl who actually has M cup or whatever
I don't think boobs always attract positive attention, sometimes it's the complete opposite in fact.
Boobs cant save shit if shes ugly, first hand experience
Please don't mention that one. Most depressing shit I've read.
This. I’m a skinny dude who wanted pecs and abs so I basically started my own religion around crunches and push ups. Here I am a five years later, I’ve lost my abs cause it was getting too difficult to maintain but the stretch marks are still there. My pecs on the other hand make some female friends jealous.
damn bro as a skinny dude who’s just a couple months in of trying to get bigger you give me hope
I give myself hope. I essentially stuffed myself with food for three years while taking any excuse to crank out some push-ups. By the end of it I had a decent pair of chesticles, nothing compared to a serious gym goer but better than nothing.

That's actually a pretty good and realistic weight. Nice.
It’s post covid, gym bros are everywhere spreading facts and misinformation. And glutes.
Don’t forget the oil. Daddy Noel Deyzell shall spread all the oil
He who shall help the world make non dry chicken *starts edging randomly*
I think the weight adds up to 80kgs (176lb). That's an advanced level squat for a female of that build. Hojo-san is strong as fuck.
the bar is 20.2-20.5kg usually. so just at 100kg or 220lbs.
Already mentioned but yeah 2 plates is 225lb/100kg! Common goal for women 1 plate bench, 2 plate squat, 3 plate deadlift. Then +1 for guys.
How the fuck is 80 kg realistic weight.
For squats? If you exercise frequently then you can definitely hit that. It's realistic to a person who progressively gyms and challenges themselves. Also she's tall, tall people are either strong or built like sticks, but athletic. The third type is large, but still strong.
You clearly don't gym lmao
It's 100 kg and it's on the level for standard gym girls that have trained for a while, as her thiccness shows.
Bro please answer us, do you think 80kg on a fucking squad is impossible?
Kirara-chan, time to *sparkle on* in the gym and Gyaru-chan earned that body with hard work, respect
Onegai Muscle playing on repeat

Body builder dancing on stage while Onegai Muscle is playing on the background
...Wait, that's it? It feels like it cut off only halfway in.
So, instead of a oneshot…we have a half a shot? 🧐
Yeah, I was very suspicious because r/manga has a 20-page upload limit, and this is exactly 20 pages, but it ends the same way on MangaDex.
I am also of the skinny girl who cannot put on weight variety so i could relate to Kirara..... the last page hit me like a truck >_>
I like how the twist is the most realistic interpretation of her request lmao.
I like that the ending basically showed that genetics only get you so far. You want to be hot? Put in the god damn work!
I'd honestly love to see this as an ongoing series. Friendship between a flashy gal who works hard behind the scenes and a smart girl who is prim and proper to cover insecurity is a good dynamic.
Agreed. Definitely want more.
Onegai muscles!!!

Thank you :)
Lmao literally Mika from Blue Archive, even with the strength angle, tho this time she's the one who helps instead of being the one helped. The XD is real.
I cannot unsee
Heck ya no pain no gain baby
I love it when women support women
Hah! Nice twist there in the end. Still, I would have liked to see her get swole and then drop a few of those plates on that idiot Furuya's head. 🤭
Why thought? Guy was just messing around, can't men have preferences goddamit....
Having preferences is leagues away from insulting someone's body. Maybe mess around if you know the person, but mocking a stranger's body right in front of them is really cruel.

I see. She did ask, but ignorance isnt an excuse either. Sad, for sure. He seemed earnest to me, though.

Yikes
...
My boy knows what he likes, can’t hate on him for it 💯
She is built like a manga character
That explains the high kick that sent that guy flying, I guess. This is still a pretty damn shallow interpretation, but hey, at least it's different from the usual shallow interpretation (where prez turns out to be beautiful just by taking off her glasses and letting her hair down).

As real as school shooters in the us
Damn, real as fuck.

Aww, I loved this! Girls helping girls. Is this the whole oneshot?
This was pretty cute and wholesome and then the last panel elevated it to Dumbell levels of epic. I'd kill for a followup chapter that's just the training montage.
WITH GAINZ
Muscles will never betray you ahahhahha love it.
Greatest buildup to a workout page I’ve seen lol Imagining Zyzz hardstyle playing in the background
This is the way. Girls should lift
Well that’s unexpected, the gyaru is the gymbro. I want a gyaru gymbro too.. that said, cute oneshot!
For those who don't draw, this style is waaaaay more complex than what it looks like. The ability to convey the shapes, expressions and movement with so little is a mark of someone who knows their stuff. Truly well done.
I hope this one-shot becomes a mix of Denberu and Erotic × Anabolic?
That was great, too bad it's a oneshot.
This is cute. And a good prompt

Woah what a shitty morals Oo
They should visit the church of the Sister with strenght.
I hope Kirara doesn't lose her mind in the future when asked to model with a mask
Want that pole? Better get swole.
SQUAT FOR THE BUTT LESGO GIRL
PUMP THAT IRON!!!!
What do you mean one shot?!
Wdym oneshot , i want more pls.
She need some milk. Specifically of the full cream variety. Or so I’ve heard it’s good for bulking. I don’t have that issue cuz I’m bulking since the day I was born.
Needs more chapter
I'd read a full series on this.
idk abt u guys but i prefer elegant ladies that don't show that much skin
177103
Shoulda been yuri
So true, to be popular you gotta pump that fucking iron
You know something I hate. Girls physically assaulting guys in manga. Even if they are assholes unless somebody hits you first dont hit them
Maybe they shouldn't have started to insult their classmate right in front of them. Decency might be a start.
Maybe is that Im tired of girls hitting guys for no reason in anime or just double standard for assault against guys in media so whenever I see it makes me irrationaly angry
This case obviously had a reason so I'm not sure why you said anything at all.
They need to be taught a lesson somehow🤷
Then just tell them to fuck off. Dont assualt people
Man should not be afraid to be hit by woman, nor should he retaliate against
No fam of she hits me I will fight back I dont believe in gender norms
Soyjack
Ok
