My favorite ecchi currently, funny and with diverse bodies that are rare in japanese media, I also used some of the yoga instructions to repair my lower back strength.

I'll repost what I said in another thread. Like OP, I am glad that this is getting made. It is not something you typically see in anime/manga and a diversity of options in media is a great thing.

I had read a portion of the manga a while back. I didn't think this manga provided anything novel enough to keep my interest, but for a certain segment of the population, the art was exactly what they are looking for. So, if you are a big fan of the teaser visual, expect basically an anime with fan service about women that look like that.

This series is like the anti-How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift. It revolves around an elf that finds human food, specifically french fries, so delicious that she just can't stop eating them and, despite the male lead's best efforts, is unable to lose weight. There is a veritable smorgasbord of female characters built similarly to the elf from the visual in this series in what is likely the highest average BMI harem in manga. I call it a harem, but in what I read at least, there aren't really any romance elements, more just friendship, slice of life, and nutritional counseling.
