Written and illustrated by Hajime Kōmoto, Mashle: Magic and Muscles began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump in January 2020 and is set to finish with Chapter 162 on July 2. Set in a world where magic is mighty and one’s magical prowess determines where they are at in society, Mash is basically at the bottom. With absolutely no magic in his body, Mash Burnedead decides he must enrolling in the elite magic school East Magic Academy in the hopes that he may become a Divine Visionary. What he lacks in magic, he makes up for sheer jaw-dropping physical strength.
Chiaki Kobayashi voices Mash Burnedead with Kaito Ishikawa portraying Lance Crown. Reiji Kawashima portrays Finn Ames, Reina Ueda as Lemon Irvine, and Takuya Eguchi as Dot Barrett.
