Mashle: Magic and Muscles is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Komoto. The story follows Mash Burnedead, a young man who lives in a world where magic is everything and those who cannot use it are considered outcasts. Despite being born without any magical abilities, Mash possesses incredible physical strength and endurance, which he uses to overcome any obstacle in his path.
After being accepted into the prestigious Easton Magic Academy, Mash must navigate a world of magic and sorcery while keeping his lack of magical abilities a secret. Along the way, he makes friends with other students, including the talented but arrogant magician, Lance Crown, and the kind-hearted and intelligent witch, Ineptia Louce.
As Mash progresses through the academy, he discovers a sinister plot involving the school's administration and their plans to use forbidden magic to achieve their goals. Mash and his friends must band together to stop them and unravel the secrets of this magical world.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles is a unique take on the magical school genre, combining elements of comedy, action, and adventure with a protagonist who relies solely on his physical strength and wit to overcome challenges. The manga has gained a following for its entertaining characters, creative world-building, and humorous storytelling.
