This spring, ‘Mashle: Magic and Muscles’ gave us one of the most memorable characters ever. In a world where magic is everything and the lines on your face define your capacity, Mash Burnedead had neither. Yet, he trained himself physically as told by Regro, his adoptive father.
The first anime season ended with Mash fighting Cell War, who retreats and tells Innocent Zero that they have found what they were looking for. On the other hand, it was revealed last week that the manga would also end with Chapter 162.
On Monday, the 31st issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine published the final chapter of ‘Mashle: Magic and Muscles’. The 18th and final volume would be published on October 4 along with a fanbook.

The manga is available for reading on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump and Shueisha’s Manga Plus. It was originally launched in January 2020 and the penultimate compiled volume arrives this Tuesday.
A second season for the anime was also immediately announced for January 2024 which will cover the ‘Divine Visionary Selection Exam’ arc. ‘Mashle’ covered the ‘Easton Enrollment’ arc and the ‘Magia Lupus’ arc in its first season. In the manga, these two story arcs are covered in 39 chapters.
I do feel a bit sad about the manga ending because it could still include a couple of more arcs, but ‘Mashle’ is a perfect example of how a compact story is told. My only complaint would be moving Brad Coleman backstage for most of the time when he was the one starting it all.
You will be missed, Mash Burnedead. See you in the next season.
