  <p>Tsuyoshi Takeo is a freshman in high school. (Both estimates) Weight: 120kg, Height: 2 meters. He spends his days peacefully with his super-popular-with-girls, yet insensitive childhood friend, Sunagawa. One morning, on the train to school, Takeo saves a girl, Yamato, from being molested by a pervert. Could this be the beginning of spring for Takeo?</p>

<p>I remember reading a fairly new manga a while back where the main protagonist is a large guy on the wrestling team, who is actually really sweet and doesn't like to see girls get hurt. He rescues a girl from being groped on the subway (I'm pretty sure this is what happened), and she bakes him cookies and wants to be friends. He likes her, but assumes she actually is interested in his popular friend (who always rejects girls) and keeps inviting him along when she asks to hang out. It seems like the girl actually did like the main guy and not the good-looking friend, but he doesn't realize. </p>

<p>Does anyone know what this manga is called? Did it get cancelled?</p>
