Fans of the hilarious fantasy anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles have something to look forward to - the show is officially returning with a third season scheduled for release in 2027. The news was confirmed by Anime News Network, delighting viewers who have been following Mash’s magical misadventures since the show first aired.
The anime is based on the manga of the same name created by Hajime Komoto. The series was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from January 2020 to July 2023 and quickly became one of the fan favorites for its absurd yet lovable mix of Hogwarts-style wizardry and gym-bro humor. The manga spans 18 volumes and, as of March 2024, had sold more than 10 million copies worldwide - an impressive feat for a relatively new title.
The animation studio A-1 Pictures, known for its work on popular series such as Sword Art Online and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, will continue to produce the upcoming season. The studio’s vibrant visuals and comedic timing have played a key role in bringing Mash and his world of muscle-powered magic to life, and fans can expect the same quality in season three.
The story follows a young man named Mash who dreams of becoming the top student at an elite academy for magicians. There’s only one problem - he can’t use magic at all. To survive in a world where magic is everything, Mash relies entirely on his unmatched physical strength and sheer determination, punching his way through every magical obstacle in his path.
Season three is expected to expand on the world’s lore, introduce new characters, and raise the stakes even higher as Mash continues his quest to prove that muscle can be just as powerful as magic. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, 2027 is shaping up to be an exciting year for anime comedy and fantasy enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, fantasy fans also have another title to look forward to - the second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is set to premiere in early 2026 and recently unveiled a new teaser, promising another emotional and beautifully animated adventure.
