Isshō Senkin (The Priceless Victory) looks interesting from the brief description and promo art shown. Might have to check out the manga and anime series of How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? while waiting for an English translation of the new manga series.

Seems likely. It also seems to be that Sandrovich wanted to do a female version of the Kengan Matches for a while, based on Q and A portions of his manga getting a lot of questions about such an idea.

the thing is that by design danberu had to introduce a new exercise concept every chapter and it shows that the duo ran out of ideas for that, if it ends up being cancelled i hope the new show balances out the slice of life stuff because it will be a a sad loss.

Sounds like a less-ecchi version of Booty Royale, which coming from this duo sounds like it’ll be loads of fun!

Which is a good thing since Booty Royale is ending/ended.

Love the Dumbbells anime, so anything from its creator is good by me.

I'm immediately interested in this. Sounds like a kickass premise and that promo image is *chef's kiss*

FINGERS CROSSED.

That's a really cool premise! I guess it's the natural extension from a series about ladies working out...

Considering Dumbbells itself are extension of underground bloodsport tournament manga with many of it's characters connected to it in very unexpected way - more like it came in natural circle.
