Characters
Main characters
- Hibiki Sakura (紗倉 ひびき, Sakura Hibiki)
- Voiced by: Fairouz Ai[3] (Japanese); Madeleine Morris[4] (English)
- A second-year high school girl who joins Silverman Gym to slim down. Unfortunately, due to a lack of regular exercise and her terrible eating habits, she tends to tire out easily and any progress she does achieve is quickly undone. However, as the series progresses, her condition slowly improves and she is revealed to have a hidden talent for combat sports. She also has a brother who runs a yakiniku restaurant where she sometimes helps out.
- Akemi Soryuin (奏流院 朱美, Sōryūin Akemi)
- Voiced by: Sora Amamiya[3] (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft[4] (English)
- A second-year high school girl who is the student council president at the same school Hibiki attends. She is popular due to being a beautiful girl who excels in sports and academics along with coming from a rich family. She has a muscle fetish and joins the Silverman Gym mostly to satisfy these desires, and often expresses her desire for Hibiki and others to become macho. Unlike Hibiki, she is in much better physical condition. Her character is a reference to the author's previous series, Kengan Ashura, being the younger sister of one of the characters appearing in the series, Shion Soryuin.
- Ayaka Uehara (上原 彩也香, Uehara Ayaka)
- Voiced by: Shizuka Ishigami[5] (Japanese); Morgan Garrett[4] (English)
- A second-year high school girl who is Hibiki's best friend. Ayaka is a buff who likes watching films with Hibiki. Both she and her sister are daughters of a famous former pro boxer who founded his own gym called the Glory Gym. Because her father taught both of them how to box since their younger days, she is in excellent physical condition and is a capable boxer who coaches for their gym. Her training is such that she can do shadow boxing perfectly and even perform the infamous "Dragon Flag", known for extreme difficulties.

- Voiced by: Nao Tōyama[5] (Japanese); Alexis Tipton[4] (English)
- A member of Silverman Gym's Moscow branch. After losing to Hibiki in arm wrestling, she declares herself her rival and moves to Japan, even transferring to Hibiki's school and staying at her house without permission. While not into strength training, she practices sambo and manages to stay fit that way. She tries to maintain an image of a typical Russian stereotype, but is really just an otaku. She was the first person to figure out Satomi's secret cosplaying life. Like Akemi, she is directly related to a character from Kengan Ashura; namely, she is the niece of minor character Ivan Karaev.
- Satomi Tachibana (立花 里美, Tachibana Satomi)

- Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa[8] (Japanese); Stephen Fu[4] (English)
- A trainer at the Silverman Gym who regularly coaches Hibiki and Akemi. Hibiki develops a crush on him at first sight, which becomes her primary motivation to join the gym. He is a dedicated, kindhearted and polite professional who always earnestly helps and supports Hibiki. Although belying his charming demeanor and handsome profile, Machio is deceptively muscular. While Machio looks no different than a regular young man with his clothes on, he has such a large and well-defined physique that once he flexes his muscles, he reveals a muscle mass so large he literally rips his clothes, which contrasts with his baby face. It is revealed that he was a classmate of Hibiki's brother and Ayaka's sister, and a disciple of Harnold Dogegenchonegger.
