How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? Vol. 20

How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? Vol. 20 continues Hibiki’s gym-blooming comedy as she, a food-loving teen, decides to get fit after noticing her waistline creep up. Under the encouragement of the swoon-worthy trainer Machio—and with occasional pushback from Akemi, the student council president—she dives into weight training, learning practical routines and embracing the camaraderie of the gym. This 20th volume in the long-running series blends light-hearted humor with genuine fitness banter, keeping the fast pace, punchy dialogue, and expressive art that fans adore. From writer Yabako Sandrovich to artist Maam, the creators deliver a lively, approachable story that also inspired the summer 2019 anime. At 145 pages, the volume balances character growth with playful sports comedy, making fitness feel accessible—and fun.
