      volume 1

      Alternative name: パワー・アントワネット
      Author: Akinosuke Nishiyama
      Artist: Misci Ito
      Publisher: SB Creative (GA Bunko)
      Volumes: 2 (last volume 2021)
      Manga: Yes (just started apparently?)
      Genre: Action, Comedy, Historical, Martial Arts

      Summary: "It is as I always say; if one has no bread, then let them pump iron!"

      The Queen roared from the scaffold of the Place de la Révolution.

      Forced from Versailles and then marched to the guillotine, Marie Antoinette vented her rage at the mob incited by revolutionary fervor, who were no longer the same people she had once loved.

      But, undergoing a sudden transformation, she destroys the scaffold with her incredible muscles, wielding the very guillotine blade that was to take her head as a weapon!

      "I am France. A one woman France."

      If muscles are lost, then they must be forged anew.

      This is the story of the strongest Queen, who will reverse the French Revolution with her brawn!

      Thoughts: …do I really need to say it? It’s a light novel about a buff Marie Antoinette. The second volume has her get into a bodybuilding match with Napoleon. How could I NOT recommend this?

          @torka Okay... This might very well be one of the strangest alternate history story descriptions I have ever read...
          (Maddrax doesn't count because by that point it isn't even alternate history anymore...)

            And now I'm envisioning her arm-wrestling Robespierre so hard it breaks his arm...

            My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

            Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

              Now you've got me envisioning them doing a WWE style smackdown:

              Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen of Paris, ARE YOU READY FOR A ROYAL RUMBLE!!!!

              cheers and screams from the audience

              Announcer: IN THIS CORNER, WE HAVE THE TITAN OF TERROR HIMSELF, PLEASE MAKE SOME NOISE FOR ROBESPIERRE!!

              the noise from the audience increases

              Announcer: AND IN THE OTHER CORNER, WE HAVE THE MONARCH OF MUSCLE, THE ONE THE ONLY, MARIE ANTOINETTE!!

              the noise from the audience swells
              Marie Antoinette strolls over and grabs the mic from the announcer
              Marie Antoinette: Hey Robespierre, Your Reign Is Over!
              the audience noise reaches a fever pitch

                I would really like this one. I've put it in the Seven Seas survey before.

                I believe reviews said it felt like volume 1 was enough of a conclusion? So it doesn't really even need to go to volume 2 let alone continue afaik.
