 Hajime Koumoto's Mashle (Mashle: Magic and Muscles) manga ended on Monday with chapter 162 in this year's 31st issue of Weekly Shounen Jump.Koumoto began drawing the action comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine in January 2020. Shueisha published the 16th volume on April 4, with the 17th volume scheduled for a July 4 release. The title has over 5 million cumulative copies of its volumes in circulation. VIZ Media simulpublishes the manga in English and shipped the 12th volume on June 6, while the 13th volume is planned for a September 12 release. Shueisha's Manga Plus platform also simulpublishes the manga in English. A television anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired in Spring 2023. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime worldwide, excluding Asia. The second season is scheduled to premiere in Winter 2024. Synopsis In this magical world, one is easily identified as having magical abilities by a distinctive mark on their face. Those unable to practice magic are swiftly exterminated to maintain the magical integrity of society. However, deep within a forest lies an anomaly in Mash Burnedead, who can be found pumping iron with one arm and lifting a cream puff with the other. This aloof boy with superhuman strength—but no magical abilities—leads a quiet life with his father, far removed from society. Mash's peace is soon disturbed when the authorities discover his lack of magical powers. They issue him an ultimatum: compete to become a "Divine Visionary," which would force everyone to accept him, or be persecuted forever. To protect his family, he enrolls in the prestigious Easton Magic Academy, which only the most elite and gifted students are allowed to attend. Now, Mash must overcome his shortcomings as a magicless being and surpass the other students—relying solely on his muscles. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Source: Mantan Web |

| So one more season (plus one already announced = two seasons) to cover all the manga chapters. |
 |
| Good, have +1 reason to read manga now. |
| That’s a relief tbh. The longer a series gets, the more intimidating it is to start. |
What have you done today to deserve your eyes?  |
| the ending was excellent, last few arc pacing has been quite messy, but the pay off was great. it's not doing anything groundbreaking, but i enjoy the comedy throughout. 8/10 |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Sad that it ended but now i hope that the Anime will adapt the whole Manga |

Maybe you are right. We will know it soon. |

| Can someone tell me, did the manga ended like planned, or did it got canned bc of poor sales? With Shonen Jump titles I'm never sure which it is, and I couldn't find the answer here |

It ended normally and as planned. You can even say that it was stretched at the finale. And the sales were also good.
For comparison, Undead Unluck startet around the same time as Mashle, has significantly lower sales and is still running.
| @Sondo, thanks for the info! |
