A food‑loving high schooler teams up with a muscle‑obsessed classmate and an upbeat trainer to conquer the intimidating world of a male‑dominated gym and transform her body before confidence slips away.
Hibiki Sakura is an ordinary high school girl with a strong appetite. As she notices her clothes becoming tighter due to her gradually increasing waistline, she considers enrolling at a nearby gym. There, she meets a classmate named Souryuuin Akemi. Akemi, who has a fascination with muscles, encourages Hibiki to join the gym despite its high number of macho men.
