Aniplex are bringing the original Hajime Kōmoto’s Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga to anime fans with an adaptation.
The first trailer, a short one, is enough to reveal that Chiaki Kobayashi will play Mash. Previously, Chiaki was young Askleadd in Vinland Saga, Tomoya in the Summer Ghost movie, and Louis James Moriarty in Moriarty the Patriot.
Viz, who have the English manga rights, describe the series;
This is a world of magic where magic is used for everything. But deep in the forest exists a young man who spends his time training and bulking up. He can’t use magic, but he enjoys a peaceful life with his father. But one day, his life is put in danger! Will his muscular body protect him from the magic users who are out to get him? Powerfully trained muscles crush magic as this abnormal magical fantasy begins!
