What Mashle Is About
Given the choice, Mash would spend his days with his adoptive father Regro and indulge in cream puffs. Alas, in the world of Mashle, the world is imbalanced and favors those with magical powers, ranking them in a hierarchy based on how strong they are — and Mash has no magical inclination at all. Hoping to live in peace with his father, Mash enrolls in Easton Magic Academy, a prestigious magic school that only allows exceptional students in, to become a Divine Visionary. Although Mash is at an apparent severe disadvantage, it won’t deter him from proving once and for all that those with muscles can be just as those with magic.
Mashle’s current season is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
