Summary, etc.: | "Can muscles crush magic?! In the magic realm, magic is everything--everyone can use it, and one's skill determines their social status. Deep in the forest, oblivious to the ways of the world, lives Mash. Thanks to his daily training, he's become a fitness god. When Mash is discovered, he has no choice but to enroll in magic school, where he must beat the competition without revealing his secret--he can't use magic! Mash just wants to live in peace with his father in the forest. But the only way he'll ever be accepted in the magic realm is by attending magic school and becoming a Divine Visionary--an exceptional student revered as one the chosen. But without an ounce of magic to his name, Mash will have to punch his way to the top spot." -- From volume 1. |

BookList Review
Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Vol. 1
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
Mash is a non-magic user in a world full of magic users, whose adoptive father knows the only way for Mash to survive was to build up his strength intensely. This helps immensely when former Bureau of Magic investigators find out about Mash, attack him and his father, and force Mash to enroll in a wizarding school. The young student is tasked with becoming a Divine Visionary, the top of the school, and handing over all the benefits that come with it to his attacker. Wizarding school should be challenging for a non-magic user, but Mash finds a way to excel at every magical task thrown at him. This manga is one part One-Punch Man, one part Mob Psycho 100, one part Black Clover, and seventy parts Harry Potter. Read as a stand-alone, it is lacking in a coherent story line; read as a parody, there are fantastic comedic moments that poke fun at the shonen genre as well as the beloved fantasy epic. Fans of all four titles might get a kick out of their favorites reimagined.
