Get your cream puffs and weights ready. Mashle is jumping onto the big screen.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles has announced a live-action film adaptation that will premiere on March 19, 2027. A teaser visual was released with the tagline: “It’s finally time for a movie adaptation, Mashle.” A teaser video was also dropped with a narrator introducing Mash Burnedead, the man “who will change the world of magic, using only muscle.” The teaser then transitions to Mackenyu Maeda as Mash lifting weights at lightning speed with a blank expression. Yuichi Fukuda will direct and write the screenplay. Credeus will produce with TOHO distributing the movie.
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.
The manga has been nominated for the Next Manga Awards in 2020 and received a nomination at the Shogakukan Manga Awards in 2021. The anime won “Comedy Anime of the Year” at the Anime Trending Awards and “Best Comedy” at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2025.
The series received an anime adaptation, produced by A-1 Pictures, and debuted on April 8. Tomoya Tanaka directed the adaptation with Yōsuke Kuroda as the scriptwriter. A team comprised of Souta Furuhashi, Takao Shimazaki and Diana Lu oversaw the production. The second season aired from January to March 2024, and a third season will premiere in January 2027.
Mashle: Magic and Muscle can be read on Viz Media and Manga Plus digitally with the former publishing the manga in print. The anime can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
