Macho★Max

Saburou, a university freshman known for his lazy lifestyle, discovers an interest in muscle training and joins a bodybuilding club. The story explores his efforts to shed weight and transform himself. It also compares the popularity of bodybuilders and arm wrestlers, culminating in a mixer event to determine which group is more favored by women. The manga initially gained attention in 2011 for being the first to focus on bodybuilding. It was serialized in "Manga Sunday," with multiple entries for both Macho★Max and Macho★Max Reborn, which were later digitally published. An article in "Read Comics" also highlighted the series under the title "The guys afterschool gym."
