Mutou and Satou - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

Just gonna say that carrying someone is way harder than what manga/anime makes it seem.
 
Yeah, princess-carrying is hard.

I know someone who just motivated himself to go to gym to build some muscles because he couldn't lift an unconcious (where she would be heavier than when conscious) slim/fit teenage girl.

He felt useless in an actual emergency.

Kudos to strong people who can do it!
 
@John_Doe_Jersey went and tested this. Not because of manga and all but just so I know that if there ever is a situation where person should be carried, that I can carry it or not.
So, can I? My girlfriend is few kgs ligher than I am (and few cm shorter, dunno how much height plays into princess carrying) and I'm at 76kg (and 186cm). Piggybacking is doable. Far from easy and even further than what usual manga shows but I could even run for some time. Princess carry is doable but running is out of option. Can walk around but it is way harder than piggybacking and way way harder than it looks.

My sister is at 50ish kg and 160ish cm tall. Can run even while princess carrying but I'd rather not. It's highly unstable and piggybacking is better option if running is required. And it's better for your back.

TLDL; I can princess carry myself but can't run with myself in arms. :p
 
I thought I'm a weakling, because I can't do pull-ups, but I can do princess-carrying a girl that's few kgs heavier than me if she puts her arms around my neck, so maybe it's weight distribution issue in which those guys down here as the MC are can't in

I'm amazed more mangas don't show a more "carry like a bag of rice/potato" which to me is almost always comedic and "fireman carry" which in my mind is far more realistic, and both of which are much easier to do imo. While the "princess/bridal carry" is very romantic the density of most MC you'd think would revert more to comedy than respect.
 
To be fair, it's far from useless being able to give first aid like that so easily and quickly. If you're able to make a splint that quickly and effectively, you're probably the most useful you can be.

That was a very stupid move, Satou. Considering that his arm got all woobly from just holding up chopstics in Ch. 1
