I said this in the removed 1st chapter as well but, in what universe 41 is an old man with no prospects (according to the story)? Are we in the 1800s? Everyone (MC included) acting like he is 65 lol

Welcome to the manga universe? Where any manga with adult women takes pains to point out they are considered withered and undesirable by like 26 if unmarried, so - sure, I can pretend this guy's a dinosaur.

Imagine waking up to

To me this is funny, bizarre, the author, while making a slice of life about food and muscles he seem to have decided that he wanted something more...serious? Erotic?
I want to see where is going (probably off a cliff).

First chapter was translated by scyllacomics by the way.

TBH I feel like that frame would be right at home in a Junji Ito manga, maybe we will be so lucky to go into that genre as well

Damn, she can fix me

The heck did I just read?

I can't relate to the premise of this manga. He's disrespected because he's flabby. (And because he's a minor pushover). But somehow, an insane woman takes an interest in him? And implies that if he gets fit, respect will follow?

It doesn't make sense. Self-respect comes from within, whatever your body looks like. And if others judge you because of your body, then they're jerks. Some superficial appeasement (at the sacrifice of one of life's basic pleasures, SALT) does not transorm your life or make people stop being jerks.

Maybe the long-term arc is that he stops being a pushover by sending this insane person to jail, where she belongs.

mfs must be incapable of reading comedy LMAOOOOOO

How your look be like after doing Bodybuilding is mostly genetic and she can somehow determine his genetic. His body after bulk up is her type and she will do everything in her power to fuck that.

Sure but you shouldn't give people easy ammo either. What you're basically saying is you want to be lazy with none of the negatives that come with it.

People will judge you whether you want them to or not it's human nature. It's up to you as the individual to not bend to their will and to not give them an easy way to do so.

Edit: Also like it or not self-confidence isn't just something you build inheritly. It is something nurtured from outside positive reinforcement. Maybe getting jacked won't fix all his confidence issues. But you know what it will do? Give him presence and command respect. Something that you get from people that you don't get from only yourself. Once people start to respect you after you changed something about yourself positively is another way one builds themselves up and that starts at fixing your shit body and stop eating liking shit and being lazy.

People keep saying that they can fix her/him. Well if you're not willing to go this far for the one you love then you'll never be able to fix anything about them 😤

Don't know if you readed chap 1 as it's only on português brasileiro but the motivation here is basically: she somehow know that he has the ideal genes for her perfect man and now is making him workout to become it(also threatening him with blackmail fake SA)

 

[Rearts13]

I honestly was on the fence at first, thinking it just a drama about cheating

I don't expect the Female Lead is a crazy "I can fix him" yandere stalker. It somehow turn into drama comedy lol

Dawg what?

 

[Minkulus]

Awesome, very excited about this new series lol.

I don't want to fix her, I want her to bully me into a body builer and fuck me for that. Yes, I discovered I have masochistic tendencies.

TBH I feel like that frame would be right at home in a Junji Ito manga, maybe we will be so lucky to go into that genre as well

Now that you say it, the art fits. I'd go down into this turning into a horror comedy, more than it is now xD

 

[kamikazejoe]

lol this manga is peak

Can confirm. Am 44 and am a dinosaur. I turned into one 3 years ago.

Thanks for the context. You guessed correct, I do not speak portugese.

That premise just raises more questions. What even are perfect genes? Height, facial structure, memorization ability? How does she seperate his ideal genes with the physical reality those genes find him in (Tired, passive, office-worker body)? Did she just pick a dozen superficial qualities and identify them as "genetic" or did she actually memorize the known parts of the genome and have him tested? I bet she doesn't know that his grand children have a 50% of baldness, or that he's got a family history of angina.

Simply, she likes his nature, finds the nurture lacking, somehow?

It still feels like she has created this narrow definition of what someone should be, or look like, or behave like, and she's crazy enough to use violence to coerce them into it. I just can't relate. It's more horrifying than funny.

Sure but you shouldn't give people easy ammo either. What you're basically saying is you want to be lazy with none of the negatives that come with it.

Not sure how this matters. You've made two claims- that being "a little out of shape" is easy ammo for people to mistreat you, and that "not spending time on fitness is lazy."

The thing is, anything can be viewed as "easy ammo" if someone is a jerk who puts people down. Body shape, or how much you spend on your clothes, or if you use too many big words/not enough big words, what neighborhood you live in, etc. There are infinite possibilities of arbitrary values that someone can choose to criticize you for, but ultimately don't really matter. Usually conforming to one standard puts you in violation of another.

If you want to claim that not getting in shape means you're lazy, I'll insist you also earn a PhD, build your house, are in mensa, volunteer at your local animal rescue AND church, have transnavigated the globe on a sailboat... The point is people can cultivate their bodies, or their hearts, or their minds, or their communities. But we don't have enough time in our lives to cultivate EVERYTHING. People will put their effort into the things they value at the expense of things they don't.

I'll hammer my point about the subjective value of fitness with one more example. Fitness comes in many types. A bodybuilder sucks at track cycling. A Gymnast sucks at shot put. A Cross-fitter has a mid deadlift. Michael Jordan was merely decent at baseball. And none of those fitness types make you a better office worker. There is no absolute standard of fitness, and sometimes, physical fitness has no value to your situation at all.
