Soryuin Akemi (奏流院 朱美, Sōryūin Akemi; "Akemi Soryuin") is one of the main protagonists of Dumbbell Nan-Kilo Moteru?. She is a second year high-school student at Koyo Girl's Academy and a regular member of Silverman Gym.
Appearance[]
Akemi is a tall and slender fair-skinned teenage girl with very long black hair reaching past her waist and light blue eyes.
Her outfit while going to Silverman Gym consists of a light blue tank top, dark blue compression shorts, and pink sneakers.
Personality[]
Akemi is known for being a charismatic model student, excelling in whatever she does, making her an overall "perfect" person.[4] Beneath her perfect exterior lies her true visage which comes out whenever muscular men are around: like all women in her family, Akemi has a muscle fetish,[4] and she is way more blunt about it than her older sister; by her own account, she was never really interested in anything before she discovered her love of muscles. She tells Hibiki that she chose to join the Silverman Gym in order to live a healthy life. She is unaware of how impressive her life is compared to the average person, as it is completely normal to her.
History[]
When she was in middle school, Akemi wasn't yet involved in athletic events, but she was asked to participate in almost every event where—due to her natural talent and good background−she placed well in every competition; it was during this time that Akemi awakened her muscle fetish after seeing a bodybuilding contest.[5] She was part of a health fitness gym before joining the Silverman Gym.[5]
Plot[]
Akemi met Hibiki at the Silverman Gym and told her she decided to go to gym because she wanted to live a healthy life.
