"How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" is an anime series that will begin airing in the summer of 2019. It is currently being serialized on the comic app "Manga One" and the manga distribution site "Ura Sunday." It's written by Sandrovich Yabako and illustrated by MAAM. A comedy about high school girls' body transformation, it's a groundbreaking anime that lets you learn serious muscle-building techniques while watching high school girls train. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the appeal of Tachibana Satomi, a character from "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" She's apparently a world history teacher, but what kind of character is she?
So, what kind of anime is "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?"?
Before introducing Satomi, let's first take a look at the story of "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" Hibiki Sakura, a high school girl who absolutely loves to eat, is a second-year student at Kouou Girls' Academy. One day, a friend asks her, "Have you gained weight recently?" Shocked, Hibiki decides to go on a diet. She decides to join the newly opened "Silverman Gym" in her neighborhood. While checking it out, she meets Soryuin Akemi, an honor student at the same school. This anime follows high school girls as they strive to achieve their goals at the gym. The main character, Hibiki, tries various methods to lose weight, but often fails due to her ignorance. However, she doesn't give up and keeps working hard, and her muscle mass seems to be gradually increasing. Her body is also getting toned, so perhaps she's getting closer to her ideal figure.
A serious muscle training manga?
At first glance, the cute illustrations and occasional comedy scenes may make it hard to tell, but this is actually a serious muscle training manga. It's packed with useful information, including detailed explanations of muscle training methods and dieting methods. This manga is highly recommended for anyone who wants to have fun working out or lose weight. It also doubles as a fun read, featuring cute high school girls doing strength training. In fact, there are occasional bonus shots of the girls, so you might enjoy that too. They're all so cute, you're sure to find a favorite!
Sexy Cosplayer and Teacher? Satomi Tachibana
Satomi Tachibana is a teacher at Kouou Girls' Academy, the high school attended by the main character, Hibiki Sakura, and her friends. She teaches world history, and is 29 years old. Like Hibiki, her ideal type is a "refreshingly handsome man," but she doesn't currently have a boyfriend. In fact, she has a secret that she must never reveal, and she believes that if it were to become known, it would be ruin for her.
Cosplay is actually her hobby!
In fact, Satomi Tachibana is a cosplayer. And it's not just cosplay; she seems to enjoy cosplay that borders on erotic. Her cosplay name is "Yuria Riko" and she participates in various events. However, she keeps this secret to herself, and only a very few people, such as the director of the osteopathic clinic she visits, know about her hobby. She's a true cosplayer, and she handcrafts all of her costumes. She also owns a variety of costumes, from those for all ages to those more on the R-18 side, but she keeps them stored separately.
What led Satomi Tachibana to join Silverman Gym?
Satomi Tachibana's reason for joining Silverman Gym was typical of a cosplayer: her cosplay costumes had become too tight. She visited a nearby Silverman Gym to lose weight for a summer event, and there, to her surprise, she bumped into Hibiki and Kanouryuuin Akemi. Not expecting to see students there, she gave up on joining, saying she was "just visiting," but then she met Machio Naruzo, a refreshingly handsome trainer who perfectly matched her tastes. She fell in love at first sight and decided to join. This is the same as Hibiki's. After that, he trains hard with Hibiki, Akemi, and the others.
By the way, this is what Machio Naruzo looks like
Looking at the image alone, you might wonder, "What's so refreshingly handsome about him?" But if you take a closer look at his face, it's not hard to see why. He's handsome and friendly, and while fully clothed, he's an unbeatable young man. However, he has some rather strange (or rather, quite strange?) habits, such as suddenly taking off (or tearing?) his clothes during a training explanation and starting bodybuilder poses. He even sometimes starts posing in the street.

Although he has a refreshingly handsome face, his muscles from the neck down are so muscular that Hibiki describes him as having a "physique like a composite photo." Now that he's been described, it's true that he does look that way. Incidentally, at an event he was invited to by a friend, he once cosplayed as "King of Muscles," a character from "Extreme Muscles." Apparently, the level of detail in his cosplay made him somewhat famous. His special skill is lifting watermelons with his trapezius muscles (?). Akemi, a young lady with a muscle fetish, even described him as "like intelligent muscles."
He's also studied abroad in the United States
Incidentally, he was a member of the American football team in high school, so he was already muscular even back then. After graduating from high school, he studied sports theory in the United States. The main character, Hibiki, is initially put off by his overly developed muscles, but she seems to be gradually becoming interested in him. Incidentally, Machio is also the only person who seriously supports Hibiki's dream of becoming a trainer. It's exciting to see how he will be involved in the story as a trainer!
Tachibana Satomi Desperately Hiding Her Hobbies, Leads to Misunderstandings
Tachibana Satomi tries desperately to hide her love of cosplay, but this leads to misunderstandings from her students. They say things like, "She has hardcore hobbies" and "She likes BL." Perhaps because of their close friendship, Hibiki can sometimes be a little rude towards her. She also tends to get carried away by this. Furthermore, Gina sometimes finds out about her cosplay hobby, and she forces herself to join her idol project. However, she can't show her face, so she hides her identity by wearing a kendo mask or a face mask.
Who is Gina?
Gina is Gina Boyd. She's 17 years old and from Russia, and attends the sambo class at Silverman Gym's Moscow branch. Her hobby is arm wrestling, and she's undefeated against people her age. By the way, I usually create characters so as not to break the commonly held "image of Russians." Zina, who studied Japanese by watching Japanese anime, loves idols and cosplay. That's why she immediately recognized Tachibana Satomi as Riko. Her dream is to become an idol in Japan, and she plans to form an idol group with Hibiki, Akemi, Sayaka, and Satomi.
Zina Working Out
This is what Zina looks like during her workout. Arm wrestling is a hobby, so you can see how toned her body is. Gina instantly recognized Satomi Tachibana as Riko, and her love of idols and cosplay has led Satomi to become involved in an idol group. Perhaps we'll see a new side of Satomi from Gina's perspective. This is something you won't want to miss!
What does Satomi Tachibana look like?
She has a center-parted, black bob haircut. Her eyes are slightly droopy, and she has a cute face. As you'd expect from someone who does erotic cosplay, she has a great figure. However, she's recently gained weight, and her cosplay costumes have become too tight, so she's decided to go to the gym. While "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" primarily features high school girls, those who enjoy mature women should definitely keep an eye on Satomi. Also, as a cosplayer, we'd love to see more of her in cosplay.
Other Profiles! Various Things About Satomi Tachibana
She's 166 cm tall and weighs 59 kg. Her measurements are 88cm bust, 60cm waist, and 88cm hips. She never cooks for herself. As a result, her refrigerator is entirely made up of alcohol! She doesn't even stock groceries, canned goods, or seasonings. That might sound a bit unhealthy, right? Perhaps she's started going to the gym and is starting to pay more attention to her diet.
She might have a slightly cynical personality
She's also a bit cynical, and sometimes doesn't trust unconditional kindness. The only people she reveals about her hobbies are Mitsuyo Kureishi, the director of the osteopathic clinic she visits. Incidentally, Mitsuyo Kureishi also appears in the author's other works, "The Fist of Pathology" and "Kengan Ashura." One of the defining features of "How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?" is that it shares a common worldview with the author's other works.
Tachibana Satomi's voice actress is Yui Horie
Yui Horie is a voice actress from Tokyo. She is 155 cm tall and has blood type B. She is often nicknamed "Hocchan," but is sometimes called "Yui-chan." She is also the vice president of the official fan club, the "Black Cat Alliance." Her notable roles include Millhiore F. Biscotti in "DOG DAYS," Shiro in "Nyanbo!", Tsubasa Hanekawa in the "Monogatari" series, and Riko and Cure Magical in "Maho Girls PreCure!"

She later played the heroine Naru Narusegawa in the hit TV anime "Love Hina," and her outstanding acting skills established her as a popular voice actress. She is also close friends with Yukari Tamura, known as the "Magnet Combo," and Nana Mizuki, who shares her own music label. She is one of the three who laid the foundation for the so-called "idol voice actress" movement that emerged after 2000. Although she is an extremely popular voice actress, she is said to be humble and shy. She is said to use honorific language when speaking to people younger than her. Her voice is characterized by a warm and cute sound. She often voices main characters and heroines in anime and games. Although it may seem a bit surprising, she also sometimes voices characters who speak in a delinquent tone. In addition to her work as a voice actress, she is also actively pursuing a career as a singer. By the way, as you can see from the photo, she is very cute, and it seems that her appearance has not changed even in the more than 20 years since her debut.
