Manga
The anime will be adapting the comedy-adventure-fantasy manga written and illustrated by Hajime Komoto. Mashle: Magic and Muscles began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2020 and now has over 3 million copies in circulation two years later. There are currently 11 volumes out in Japanese while 6 volumes are published by VIZ Media in English with volume 7 set to release on July 19.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles has received its fair share of notoriety. The manga was a nominee in the “Shonen” category at the 67th Shogakukan Manga Awards in 2021 and also placed 11th out of 50 at the 6th Next Manga Awards in 2020. The manga has gone on to receive many reviews that compare the series to a combination of both Harry Potter and One Punch Man.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles became Komoto first manga to be serialized. The author previously wrote and illustrated two one-shots titled Liberal Fuuki Iin Yamada Tarou, which was released in 2018, and Hakaishin Shivasaki-kun a year later in 2019. Both comedy one-shots were published in Jump GIGA magazine.
