Set in a magical world in which an individual's position within society is defined by their power and skill with magic, Mash Burnedead is a young man without so much as an ounce of magic in his blood. In order to live a peaceful life with his adoptive father, Regro, Mash will need to become a Divine Visionary (神覚者, Shinkakusha), a title which is only given to exceptional students from the Easton Magic Academy. Despite having no magic whatsoever, Mash goes to the magic school, determined to survive and show the world that muscles can beat magic.

Reception

[edit]

Manga

[edit]

In June 2020, it was reported that the first volume of the series performed well enough to be sold out.[39] By April 2021, the manga had over 1.4 million copies in circulation;[40] over 2.1 million copies in circulation by August of the same year;[41] over 3 million copies in circulation by March 2022;[42] over 4 million copies in circulation by November of the same year;[43] over 5 million copies in circulation by April 2023;[44] over 6 million copies in circulation by November 2023;[45] and over 10 million copies in circulation by March 2024.[46]

In 2020, the manga was nominated for the sixth Next Manga Awards and placed eleventh out of the 50 nominees with 12,894 votes.[47][48] The series ranked third on the "Nationwide Bookstore Employees' Recommended Comics of 2021" by the Honya Club website.[49][50] Mashle was nominated for the 67th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2021.[51]

The Nippon Foundation included the manga on their list of "5 Recommended Manga Available in English" and wrote: "[c]omic scenes of characters tormenting each other are fun to read, with no sense of distaste. In an amusing way, the story shows how cultivating special skills can overcome adversity."[52] Writing for Le Figaro, Clémence Ballandras made a positive review about the series and wrote that it "combines the very specific universe of manga, with that of Harry Potter, while infusing a good dose of humor."[53] Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first volume a B+. Silverman praised the series for its humor, calling it a "Harry Potter parody with overtones of One-Punch Man." Silverman, however, wrote that apart from Mash, the rest of the characters are "forgettable" and said that the art is "fairly unattractive", comparing it to Mob Psycho 100. Nevertheless, she concluded: "It doesn't look pretty, but it also doesn't need to, making this a good addition to the library of humor manga."[54]

Sheena McNeil of Sequential Tart gave the first volume a 7 out of 10. McNeil also noted the similarities with One-Punch Man and Harry Potter, praising as well its story and art, concluding: "I enjoyed this read a fair amount. It's low key hilarious. It has flaws, but it also has potential, and I look forward to where it goes from here."[55] In a review of the second volume, McNeil gave it a 8, and wrote: "[i]f you want action, humor, and magic, this story hits you over the head with all three."[56]
