Cast Comments

■Files Ai (Playing the role of Hibiki Sakura)
When I read the original story, I couldn't help but mutter "Hibiki... you are me? (laugh). I couldn't stop reading the manga because it depicted dieting, which every girl has experienced, in such a cute way! I will do my best to convey the beauty of muscle training to everyone with Hibiki, making use of my part-time experience at a sports gym!

Ten Amemiya (Playing the role of Akemi Kanryuin)
When I read the original work, I was shocked at how strong the character of Akemi was and thought, "I want to play this character! I wanted to play this character! I often feel alive when I play gags, and I think this character makes me feel that, and I want to give my all to play the role so that I can feel that. I want to give my best to play the role so that I can feel it. For this reason, I will make sure that my body is in good shape!

As a viewer, I am very much looking forward to seeing Hibiki, Akemi and the others in action! I hope everyone will enjoy watching Hibiki and her friends move, talk, and muscle train energetically.
