And thus it ends... with a chapter that both concludes the main plot in a conclusive manner, yet feels like it got cut short by the editorial apartment at the same time.

I am very torn on this series. It started as a fun little parody that combined elements of OPM with other Shounen tropes but eventually devolved into pointless fighting, becoming exactly what it set out to make fun of. The characters were quite one-dimensional as well and some jokes really ran their course. Overall I'd say it was an average series that is personally quite disappointing due to the issues mentioned above.

It’s over 😭😭😭😭

What a great series. It’s messaging and themes are really great.

Mash is one of my favourite protagonists tbh. I’m glad he got a happy ending.

It’s rare that we’d get something this loveable from modern Shonen jump. Some may think it’s simple, and I’d agree. But it doesn’t need to be complicated to be a great series.

If there was a complaint I could give? Not enough Lemon Irvine. She’s great.

I’m definitely looking forward to whatever Hajime Komoto’s does next.

It was average. The graphic style is beautiful but the quality has gone down in the last chapter. I liked some gags but others didn't make me laugh. It was a basic manga, 5/10 for me

I wasn't a fan of it ever since it started its serialization. It just never clicked with me. I thought the characters were bland and things got stale real fast. But at the same time, I can see why some people may like it. One of my casual anime watcher friend is loving the anime. And I haven't seen the anime either. I stuck with it this far was just for sake of it and hey even if you just scroll through the chapters you can get the gist of things. But anyway it was an average manga for me, one that I'll probably forget about in a day or two.

When the happy ending is in the title itself lol.

Also just liked how they teased about Mash's grand entrance and it turned out to be something different altogether. Though that's just how Mash and this series was, and is. The deal with which we started things got done, friends got their endings and it's just like them leaving us on the note of "journey continues".

Simple story with cookie-cutter characters, yes, but that is what the fun was. Not everytime we need some logic to laugh off at things, after all being a bit ridiculous is something in itself. Won't change the rating despite the ending giving the feels of some kind of rush. I mean after all it still feels "totally complete".

Going to miss this:(

It was a decent run. The comedy was great... sure it's had its ups and downs. Mashle wasn't anything incredible or groundbreaking but it was fun the whole way through... so I'm really gonna miss it/him!

S1 of the anime and manga conclude the same weekend.

It's a nice ending I can live with, alas far from a great one. The whole final battle was in fact a mixed bag. If I would rate it just by battle shounen standards it's like a 5/10. The saving grace were the comedic moments defying reason and making fun of traditional tropes. That should've been embraced more. It was a hybrid between parody and battle shounen since the beginning, but the former got almost lost in the final arc. Even before the gags suffered from repetitiveness with some delightful exceptions. Some of Mash's strength feats were imaginative. And I gotta say that I enjoyed the character overall too.

My favorite panel of him in the last couple of chapters was him genuinely smiling



The boy will be missed

6,5/10

well, it was a good run. some really funny panels, cool fights, sick art, and that happy ending. funny how s1 of the anime just ended a few days ago as well.

lance pedo jokes at the end, and i remember people speculating dot actually ending up with lemon but that didn't happen lmao instead she stays mash's "fiance" till the end xD

did get rushed but this last chapter was really nice with everyone and i'm glad it ended sooner than later, 7/10 pretty decent stuff.

I am still wondering why didn't Innocent Zero use Timez Rewound (the spell that accelerates time) again? and why didn't he use Spaces against Mash?

Anyways, I liked the manga; I think it is a solid 8/10.

I have Mashle on my favorites long ago and the end was very fitting to the story, so I'm giving a very biased 10/10. 

Like I said one time before, this manga is the most stupid I had the pleasure to read. I think it works very well as a parody of almost every cool moment every battle shounen or action series had. Also I never got bored while reading so yes, 10/10 and favorite.

In the end it was a good manga. Hajime Koumoto did not try to artificially extend the manga life by adding some extra fillers and that great news.
Even if this is mostly a parody, the process of reading was enjoyable and characters nice to be introduced to.

See you Mash!

Mashle was a great surprise to me. This series could have easily just been a gimmick and not gone on for long. Instead it got me addicted because I had so much fun.

Enjoyment: 8/10 I had a lot of fun reading this manga. It was genuinely funny and the action was always interesting. Only complaint is that the magic is simple, but its meant to be so not really a complaint

Story: 6/10 There really isn’t depth in this series. Its plot goes where any shonen battle manga goes. It works well though since its a comedy.

Art: 8/10 For a comedy shonen jump title the art in this can be incredible. Also in the big comedy moments the artist managed to capture Mash’s ridiculous face perfectly. The art is easy to enjoy and fits the style of show so well. It did take me a few chapters to get used to it though

Conclusion: If your looking to just laugh and enjoy some action. Maybe you already read One Punch Man. Give this a shot.

I was reading MASHLE as it was coming out, but as I don’t have much patience to wait a whole week for a new chapter I paused the manga and decided to come back to it later. I’ve recently got caught with Black Clover and decided it would be a good time to get caught up with MASHLE as well JUST TO FIND ITS FINISHED. 

I didn’t knew it was completed and only figured it out once I literally got to the last page of the last chapter and it said “the end”. Now, I genuinely loved this story, it felt light hearted, the comedy was on point as was the story telling, the pace, the art style. 

Maybe it’s because I’m used to read mangas with a lot of chapters but I felt like the end was way too sudden and that the story had so much more to give. It also felt like the end hadn’t got too much thought out into it, it was like the author decided to finish the story  and just slapped the last chpater into the story to give it that sensation of “and they lived happy ever after”. 

Even though I clearly didn’t enjoy the ending, the story as a whole is a must read (or watch ).

I really can’t explain what I’m feeling at the moment, so I’m really eager to hear other opinions. 

P.s. English is not my first language so I apologise for any grammar errors or misspelling.
