Rice Shoulder (ライスショルダー)
Manga Muscle Girls ( 漫画の筋肉娘)



Rice Shoulder (ライスショルダー) is a manga by Tsuyoshi Nakaima (なかいま強) being serialized in Weekly Morning, a Kodansha publication.  It started running in 2007 and has been compiled into 13 tankobon so far, with the 14th volume due out in January 2013.  Nakaima-sensei's previous manga are up at ebookjapan and I hope Rice Shoulder shows up there someday.  You can get all the volumes over at Amazon JP.  

The series follows Okome Akino (秋野おこめ), an 18-year old girl who measures a healthy 6' 3" (193 cm) and 227 pounds (103 kg).  Okome's name means into "rice". Her mother passed away and her father abandons Okome and her three younger siblings.  Okome finds her way into the boxing ring to support the family.  The artist does a good job of showing how physically impressive she is in the manga:



There's a depressing lack of fanart of this series, though I did find some on Pixiv:

Just wanted to say that I have bought some parts of this manga at ebookjapan and may scan them if you or someone else wants it. Though, I would not recommend this manga, as many characters are drawn intentionally unattractive, to make them more intimidating, and fights seem to be pretty boring. Can't say anything about the storyline, as I don't know any Japanese, and bought this thing just to look through. Anyway, thanks for sharing info about this manga.
