Manga/Graphic Novels Starting With 'U'

Everything is pretty average about Hitomi - the only thing that makes her stand out is her size. Weighing in at 220 lbs, she's no elegant swan. When she was younger, she would take part in children's beauty contests and bring home all sorts of prizes. Until her sweet tooth took over, that is. When Hitomi moves into her older brother's apartment, she discovers that his neighbors are the five hottest boys at her school! And when they decide to help Hitomi return to her cute and pretty roots by helping her stay away from sweets and lose weight, it's a recipe... for disaster!

Does being dedicated to a diet really mean the end of fun?! Nope! Whether it's picking up trash around the school grounds or vigorously participating in an outdoorsy school trip, Hitomi begins to realize that even everyday activities can be part of her regimen. And working up a sweat alongside her buddies is just an added bonus!

Her sweet tooth may have gotten the better of Hitomi in the past, but now she's determined to kick the habit with her serious diet plan. Best of all, she’s already seeing results from her efforts! Add to her resolve the support of several extremely attractive boys who live in her family's apartment complex, and she should slim down in no time, right?

With the help of her brother and the handsome group of neighbors she's come to call her friends, 220-pound Hitomi is well on her way to being fit and fabulous as she gradually drops the pounds! But a healthy routine isn't all there is to it. She must learn to stay on track as new adventures pop up in her calendar and take her away from her daily diet regimen, as well as make time for a little extra credit here and there. Will Hitomi's smart choices get her back to being the cute little sister she was in years past?

When Kid Muscle made a quick trip across the galaxy to visit the folks back home, he expected to take some heat about his not-so-heroic shenanigans on Earth. But he didn't expect the government of Planet Muscle - including his dear old dad - to put him through his paces by enrolling him in a tournament to the death!

Kid Muscle squares off against the brutal masked wrestler Hanzo, but not even the Kid's snazziest moves have any effect against Hanzo's sneaky style and origami-based attacks. Faced with an opponent who's smarter than he is, will kid Muscle simply lose the will to wrestle? Sadly, yes... but the third member of No Repsect is still rarin' for a fight, and he has a personal grudge to settle with someone from Planet Muscle.

In yet another twist, it turns out Lone Bone Cold knows a little bit of Planet Muscle family history, and he's about to drop a bombshell that will rattle not only Kid Muscle, but the Kid's brilliant and inexplicably faithful manager, Meat. Will Meat recover from the flashback of a lifetime? Will Kid Muscle get his act together and master Fire before it's too late? Will anyone figure out why Lone Bone Cold is such a nasty piece of work?

Who knew that the chairman of the Justice Federation had a petty streak? Jealous of all the kudos Kid Muscle won in his time away from the Muscle League, Vance McMadd has turned in his resignation. So who's the new head of the Justice Federation and big kahuna of the Muscle League? Vance's go-getter son, Ikemen McMadd. Kid Muscle was no fan of the old McMadd, but the new one is going to haunt him like a bad beef bowl.

Kid Muscle's rasslin' career has been one long string of ups and downs, but the Superhuman Olympics may be a new low. The hero who destroyed the evil DMP, took down every member of Generation Ex, and won the Fire from the thugs of No Respect is now competing with his fellow Muscle Leaguers in some of the silliest contests ever devised.

The Superhuman Olympics are underway, and Kid Muscle is already being taken for a ride - by the Coasterman, a living roller coaster. It's all part of the continuing efforts of the shamefully biased Superhuman Oympics chairman, Ikemen McMadd, to boot the Kid out of the competition and into eternal obscurity and shame.

While Kid Muscle wrestles a living toilet, his tall, dark and dangerous rival Kevin Mask has problems of his own. In his first match of the Superhuman Olympics, the previously unstoppable Kevin is getting thrown around like a rag doll - and a quick glimpse under his stylish black T-shirt reveals that he's wasted away to skin and bones. Has the onetime DMP powerhouse lost his edge, jumped the shark, and bought a one-way ticket to wrestling oblivion?

It's Round Two of the Superhuman Olympics, and Kid Muscle faces double trouble in the form of Barrierfreeman, a Swedish wrestler with two bodies - one young, one old. Thanks to his promise to turn the world into a paradise for senior citizens, Barrierfreeman can depend on the support of the old-school fans in the crowd... and those elderly folks get rowdy when they're riled up!
