From what I can tell no wrestlers in this anime has muscles showing. All the wrestlers slender arms and legs. I was really looking foreword to a musculus female character.

I was reminded of Ayane's High Kick, though this seems to focus more on sexy pins than fighting.

For a second there, I thought this was based on 80's OVA "Wanna-Be's." Now, I'm sad. Sad

good gawd almighty indeed oh my god we're so get some catfight in this all female wrestling anime?!

with vintage ARMS doing studio since doing ikki series, elfen lied, martial hearts, & queen's blade series.

oh my indeed this could be a slobberknocker to watch & wonder if any will guess we so get a license-dub on it?

(so looking wild guess on Funi-service would like get this to pick wresting female anime)

as long this anime wrestling female better to watch than those in wwe or tna.

Oh wow, I didn't know that was an actual anime. I saw some official art in a Kenichi Sonoda artbook I own, but didn't realize it was for an OVA.

Now there's a title that I haven't heard in a long time. Not only that I never got the chance of seeing it. Suddenly I'm reminded of Yawara as well.

Volume 1 of this was available on Jmanga (well, I guess it still is if you bought it), and it's definitely fanservice-heavy...

Earth Star's been on a tear with these anime adaptations recently. Do we know if this'll be another short?
