It's another Thursday! Another chapter of How Much Can You Lift/What Weight Is Popular? A manga about cute girls lifting cute weights in order to leave humanity behind!
Let's get started! TL mentioned last thread he might be running late or miss this thread. It is the Holidays after all. Be patient and enjoy in the meantime.
This week, some PR campaign pages were put out in to show that
VOLUME 1 of Danberu Nan Kiro Moteru? is going on sale December 19th! The Japanese Amazon site will ship to the U.S. so if you'd like to support the author and this manga, you can pick it up!
There are 148 pages and that's more than there are pages in the 9 chapters that are likely in it, so there should definitely be some extra art and stuff!
Dominic Rodriguez
So if anyone is picking up the Volume on the 19th, I say, thank you.
This is the cover page!
Juan Carter
In case anyone had missed it, the author of this manga is Sandrovich Yabako, also the author of Kengan Asura which is also running under Urasunday and is also running also at the same time also. Different artists, though. Also.
Nolan Nelson
>brown in a China dress It's always so good. Every time.
Cooper Wright
Btw, the only difference in the PR chapter is they replaced some massive kengan asura fighter in some spots where trainer Machio appears in the first chapter. There might be dialogue changes, but I doubt it, and also I'm not posting that chapter, only the PR pages from it. It's identical to Chapter 1.
Jordan Nelson

Ian Stewart
Outstanding work OP. I'm gonna pull a double today this got me so motivated. I'll have to check the previous chapters when I get home from work.
Aiden Ramirez
The sundress and star hat combo is a particular favorite of mine so DEAR LORD do i love this page.
Luis Martin
Please look into those previous chapters! It's a great gag comedy manga with lewd lifts but they are TECHNICAL and INFORMATIONAL lifts, too!! I think you'll like 'em.
We're all gonna make it, bro.
Kayden Hall
And last PR page. I can't quite tell why there's so much crossover art going on, maybe there's a crossover chapter in the volume or something.
Jeremiah Williams
Got a link to the amazon.jp page, OP? I wouldn't mind buying a copy
Asher Gonzalez
...
Carson Morris
...
Ryan Cruz
And I can't believe I never noticed. You'll lnever fucking believe it.
Alexander Torres
Thanks for the heads up, OP. I've been waiting for volume 1 to release. I'll try to get a copy from Kinokuniya if I'm lucky.
Logan Richardson
I know exactly who Akemi's older sister is, what she looks like and what she does.
I can't tell if the Koyo Academy our girls are going to is the same as the Koyo University, but they are DEFINITELY connected at least as an elevator school.
Just tell me you're also exercising while eating at a surplus, brah.
Carter Rogers
My lifts aren't the only things that are gonna be huge today
Oliver Bell
I was not prepared for this.
Lucas Jones
fug, thank you!
Nolan Hall
...
Jeremiah Young
Obviously. I went from 115lb skelly to 185 now. Going to do my first cycle this winter as well.
John Roberts
Wasn't that the Muscle Professor from Kengan Asura as well? The one who got rekt by rival homolust guy?
Camden Davis
I got some new reactions and this chapter is great I love this manga.
Robert Torres
Yep. That's the 4th explicit crossover now (1st was the academy name, 2nd was Akemi's name, 3 and 4 came during this chapter with Akemi's sister being shown and this, the Muscle Professor). I'm gonna recheck the boxing chapter and see who their top fighters were again...
I don't mind the crossover stuff at all, that's totally fine. But I will not be happy at all if our fresh faced trainer Machio becomes a fighter. That will going too far. You hear me, Sandrovich??
Gavin Jenkins
>Obviously
You'd be surprised, m8. Still, good on you. We're all gonna make it.
Jose Cox
...
Chase Roberts
>I'm gonna recheck the boxing chapter and see who their top fighters were again... You mean this guy, don't you? I'm going to look up what the name is or if I see him somewhere in Kengan Asura
Christian Wood
I wonder if there will be cameos or full crossovers with Kengan Asura's cast down the line.
Asher Wilson
Jerry Tyson when?
Levi Ross
That'd actually be pretty damn funny.
Also, figured out the name "Gaoran Uonkewashito" it's small though, might be Waonkewashito or something close.
Bentley Brooks
Gaoran Wonsawat
Yep, he is from Kengan Asura, another cameo.
Hopefuly when start with american Tae Bo gymnastics.
Eli Morales
Ahahahaha shit. NEW THINGS, COMING TO LIGHT
Eli Garcia
See It's Gaoran Wonsawat the Thai fighter, he has just been introduced a few chapters before from the translations are currently, his fight is way down the line, around chapter 105 if I remember right.
Jose Scott
I hope the group starts catching up for Kengan Asura. Even the thai sites are more up-to-date.
Blake Nguyen
>But I will not be happy at all if our fresh faced trainer Machio becomes a fighter. That will going too far. You hear me, Sandrovich?? The tournament is pretty advanced in the RAWs, there's no way to put Machio in a match without some seriously contrived replacement at the last second, something that has not happened after the quarters started.
Tyler Smith
Ozu Toshio. The references are stacking up.
Adrian Cruz
>Even the thai sites are more up-to-date. Because Thailand loves it.
Joshua Reyes
Good to know! He can be a little brother or something. I'd like our girls, teach, machio all to not be fighters please and thank you. Let this be a gag education manga of lewd, let Kengan Asura be a fighting mango.
Isaac Moore
Hokuto no Gun dedicates itself to dozens of series, speeding up Kengan Asura might not be feasible at the moment. In the end one just gotta be happy they haven't dropped it.
William Sanchez
Talking about cameos, what about the Danberu girls making appearances on the upcoming Kengan anime? They could be small after-credits segments, it would be pretty sweet.
Carson Clark
I suppose. They are doing one a week or so, so I shouldn't be complaining.
Angel Wilson
It'd be really tough to get them to see any matches, but maybe they're in the background should someone visit the Koyo University to see Shion or maybe around town, eating at the food stands.
Joshua Martin
...
Brody Ortiz
Sorry for the mangahere pic, I'm on my phone at work.
Anyway the scans translate him as Gaolang Wongsawat, it's his first appearance, he is a major fighter in the series that will get focus later.
Julian Robinson
I'm actually starting to wonder if maybe one or two of the girls from the pool they were looking at might show up, or something. One did karate and the other did judo, after all.
Justin Robinson
I wouldn't blame anyone for making his name more Thai in nature than the katakana japanese transliteration.
Man, I kinda want to go back and try to take note of anything and everything about names and locations and stuff. I will say, the sister Akemi mentions in the beginning of the story, the one that got her into going to the gym, is only 1 year above them (a senior in high school, according to Akemi) but Cosplay Christmas Cake says her older sister is the chairwoman, which would make her Shion who is most definitely in her late 30s or 40s at least. Akemi has to have at least 2 older sisters in that case...but then her mom would be really, really old. Or, maybe her they are stepsisters, they do have completely opposite hair and personality. NEVER KNOW!
Leo Miller
TP here.
well, I'm in my holidays right now so I think I can work on this as soon as translator-san delivers.
Jonathan Miller
As long as Kengan is an ongoing, it will never be caught up to. There's at least an 11 volume gap between the raws and the scanlations.
Brody Gonzalez
You're a great guy! I always want to thank you for making the end product. It's great work, really. Yeah, TL might take time, he expressed concern he wouldn't be here this week, so we'll see.
If this thread gets archived without TL popping in, I'll definitely re-post the pages and make a thread next Thursday. Keeping the thread alive for now is the best thing.
Juan Lee
...I dunno about 11 volumes difference, though. Really? I thought the latest chapters were that they're in the 2nd round of the tournament. 11 volumes ahead would be ridiculously far past the end of the tournament I mean, that's 100 chapters at least.
Logan Hernandez
>cant lift recently because surgery
this manga is so healing
Carter Hall
I wanna fuck the himecut girl.
Nicholas Brooks
Today I have stuff to do. Here is notepad TL version because I have to run.
I love you man, I'm really happy you started workin' on it last week already. I'll start QC right away, then.
Seriously, thanks dude. Reminder that the mega raws always come out a week early so you've got a good 7 days to translate this at your leisure. I'm starting to wonder if maybe this should become a bit more official...but these threads are fun. You're great!!
Evan Campbell
Who wouldn't want machojou?
Brandon Moore
>Work in a kitchen all day, make no time for working out What the heck let's multiply by 0
AWAKEN MY MASTERS!
Jose Morgan
JESUS CHRIST How come this manga has so many best girls?
Adrian Evans
The latest raw I found was 169, and they are still in the tournament. Remember that this is a full scale tournament, where every fight is shown.
Nathan Roberts
I love scanlators with this much love for source material.
Elijah Hernandez
...
Liam Scott
I find it hard to believe nobody hits on her She's probably too clueless to notice it
Joseph Sanders
Do you guys think the manga volume will include all the color pages? I'm thinking of buying it anyway, but color pages would be a great incentive.
Kevin Richardson
WAIT A MINUTE. This means Lift-kun can be an ex-fighter in Kengan Asura manga?
Asher Rodriguez
Im sure my chairs gonna break if i do this. Im 110 kg+-.
Lucas Gutierrez
Oh god, the demon girl is gonna kill her.
Michael Peterson
Just what I was thinking. Crazy eye girl (Clara?) Is gonna murder our Gyaru
Anthony Gutierrez
It fascinates me how every single board on Sup Forums has a dedicated group and a general wide acceptance of /fit/izens It's inspiring, really. This manga looks like great motivation.
Jose Long
I-is she going to join the matches ? 'Cause I mean there WAS pic related in the boxing chapter
Jackson Rivera
>She continues training and eating >She becomes that obese nentendu fighter we've only seen as a shadow DEEPEST LORE
Christian Diaz
Karla might not be the jealous type, but she's definintely yandere...
Jack Murphy
It's fantastic you set this up ahead of schedule. You're a trule magnificent guy, thanks user. I'll post some QC now and let TP do is artistry as he likes! You guys are the best!
Jacob Sanders
Page 1 Sorry to keep you two waiting! [Souryuuin Akemi]
Hiya! Let's get goin'! [Sakura Hibiki] [Uehara Ayaka]
This is the first time we all enter the gym together! Let's all become macho together! Well, I'm not aimin' to get macho. I'm down for the bench press today!
Silverman's Gym
Page 2 [Sign] Today We are temporarily closed. Holiday hours have shifted to XX. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Whaa....
Page 3 We're out of luck...
The local pool, the local gymnasium, even the training halls are all closed... [R Panel Building] Municipal Pool [R Panel Sign] Today we are closed [L Panel Building] Municipal Gymnasium [L Panel Sign] Today we are closed
These sort of coincidences can happen, I suppose... We're definitely out of luck now.
...come to think of it...
Josiah Peterson
Page 4 Hey, Akemi........ Your place looks like it's damned palace or some rich guy's mansion from a manga...
? Is that so? I've been living here ever since I was born, I never took notice. >......as you'd expect from a genuine lady...
My parents retired from their careers early and are gallivanting around the world. So, the only people who live her are myself and my sister.
Whoaaa~...! This giant place for just two people... You said your sister likes working out, too, right Akemi? This place is so big, couldn't you just make a training room here?
Page 5 A home gym...No sense denying that, but my sister and I feel like, "If you're going to work out, go to a gym." TN: Emphasize everything after second comma If you like movies, you don't get the experience of a cinema by building a home theater, right? TN: emphasize the entire dialogue bubble Th, that's true...! That example fits perfectly...
Well, we should decide on what to do today. But I thought there're no facilities open? If it's okay to train here, I guess push ups and squats, right? >And ab stuff
.......ah.
I got it! Wait just one minute!
...5 minutes later...
There we go! Finally found it!
Nicholas Carter
Page 6 This is from my sister's library, but I think there should be useful tips in it. [Title] Read With Muscle! [Subtitle] Specific Component Training Dictionary [Small Text - Author] Ozu Toshio ^Top half of book. v Bottom half of book (shaded region) Martial Artist Ikeuchi Menatrou's personal favorite!! "This book is protein that you read!" >........this looks like an intense book...
Let's see......"This book is an introduction to several kinds of training for different body parts. It's written for all kinds activities for beginners to experts." Hey, this guy's recent photo is creepy!!! What kinda guy is Ozu Toshio!!? [Book Text] (Recent Photo of Author) Ozu Toshio
This book is quite popular with trainers... FLIP FLIP Uhhhh.............
Page 7 Here we are! This section! [Training You Can Do At Home] Whoa! It does have it!!!
Among you readers, there may be a few people who don't have access to a gym. Or maybe, there are days you don't want to leave your house. For those readers, I'd like to introduce some training you can perform in your own home. WHOOOOAAAA!! This is it!! Exactly what we needed!! Good job Ozu Toshio!!!!! >I don't get what's up with that pose, though
Hmmmm, so push ups and squats are the central ideas. *Narrow Push Ups
I guess we really are limited to what we can do if there's no gym. Is there really nothing else but squats, sit ups and push ups?
How about this one?
Levi Thompson
Page 8 A challenge in your home!! DIPS
What you need: Two chairs of the same height.
Stand between those two chairs and lift yourself up. You should be aware that your body will tilt a bit forward at this stage.
-About 10 repetitions is the objective! Bend your elbows and lower your body slowly. We call this motion a "negative."
The goal is to avoid reactive movements. You body will sway and become unstable, so the negative reduces the weight in half.
Page 9 For those you cannot perform dips, try a simpler version where you place your feet on the floor like this. We call this exercise "reverse push ups."
The essential motion in this exercise it the negative movement. Be conscious about lowering your body as slowly as possible without easing tension.
Page 10 What you're working out with dips are your pectoralis major and your triceps brachii muscles. As with the barbell bench press and dumbbell bench press in the gym, you should combine this with push ups and squats at home.
Page 11 Yoh Toh Hoh
That's ten! You sure have a light body! You're amazing, Ayaka! Nothin' less from the boxer!
What're you talking about. You both can easily get through ten, too.
Akemi aside, you should've gained a lot of stamina by now, right Hibiki? R-really?
Nicholas Bennett
Page 12 Let's not just do normal dips, why don't we try it this way, too?
The "adding extra weight" method. Aim for a higher level than the previous!!!! *Put some books in a backpack *Perform the dips while wearing it
Makes sense. You can exercise like this, too. Ozu Toshio is really efficient! I brought a backpack.
Okay! I'll try it first!
Page 13 Okay! Here goes!
[When performing this exercise, be sure the equipment can tolerate the weight. At least ten times over capacity.]
Extra Page Oh Crap
Sorry! I broke your chairs! I'll pay for it from my job money! Don't worry about it. >I should be apologizing
[Days later] Maan! This is a real treasure!
A royal dining chair from the early Dogegencho dynasty! It's an antique with a current value upwards of 300 million yen! There are only a few in existence!
>.......huh? >I feel like I've seen those chairs before..........huh???
Sebastian Jackson
Done. I'll QC any of the PR pages if they get worked on (no priority or incentive), too. Also, if anyone shares the Volume and discovers it has extra stuff that gets translated, I'm happy to help with that as well.
Thanks again to our efficient and timely TL and our wonderful TP for setting all the puzzle pieces in place with added style. This manga would have zero english audience without you two. Literally the entire reputation of this manga outside Japan for the enlish speaking world rests on the charity of you two. Thank you!!
