Mashle is an original anime about a boy wizard with a magic destiny and the friends he makes at magic school. Mash, our young wizard, has a lightning scar on his face.
Original? Yes, well. Mashle is about magic and muscles!
VIZ Media have the license to Hajime Komoto’s manga, from which the anime is based, and they describe the story;
In the magic realm, magic is everything—everyone can use it, and one’s social status is determined by their skill level. Deep in the forest, oblivious to the ways of the world, lives Mash. Thanks to his daily training, he’s become a fitness god, but he harbors a secret that could turn his life upside down—he can’t use magic! When he’s found out, rather than his life being over, he’s unexpectedly enrolled in magic school, where he must beat the competition!
Tomoya Tanaka, fresh from the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is directing, and the anime is due out in April. The 15th volume of the manga is due out just before, in February, and might be the last as teh story is believed to be in the final art.
Voice of Louis James Moriarty from Moriarty the Patriot, Chiaki Kobayashi plays the main character Mash. Oh, but did I mention his full name? Mash Burnedead.
