About Mashle: Magic and Muscles
Created by Hajime Kōmoto, Mashle: Magic and Muscles was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2020 to 2023 and concluded with 18 collected manga volumes.
The story follows Mash Burnedead, a boy born without magic in a world where magical ability determines social status. Instead of using spells, Mash relies entirely on his incredible physical strength to overcome every challenge.

With Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3 officially scheduled for January 2027, fans can look forward to the anime’s return after nearly three years since Season 2, as Mash continues his quest to become a Divine Visionary.
