Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 161: Release date and time, where to read, what to expect, and more

Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 161 is the next installment of one of the most well-liked series in Shonen Jump. Since January 2020, Hajime Komoto's series has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump publication. The chapters have been assembled into fifteen tankobon volumes as of February 2023.

The series' original premise of a magical academy with an underdog protagonist helped the drama gain popularity. In contrast to other shonen manga, Mashle: Muscles and Magic makes an effort to satirize the underdog hero, right through Mash, the main character. Mash enrolls at the magic school even though he has no magical abilities because he is determined to live and show the rest of the world that strength can overcome magic.

With the success of the anime Mashle: Muscles and Magic, which debuted in April, now is an excellent moment to read the manga.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 160 recap

We discovered that despite being vanquished, Innocent Zero's spell will continue to exist. Unfortunately, Mash's physical might is insufficient to overcome it because it devours anything it touches. Mash uses the Continental Kickboard technique to prevent the continent from being affected by Innocent Zero's magic, saving the day in true anime fashion.

The spell sent a large wave into the water once it was cast. Mash saved everyone and obtained a cute octopus cap in the process as a form of foreshadowing in Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 161. He then used a magic wand to stop the tsunami. The idea of a boy without magic just swimming to save a continent is absurdly comical but true to the spirit of the manga, which is similar to Saitama in One Punch Man.

What to expect from Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 161

Innocent Zero continues to demonstrate new abilities to combat Mash, and while the latter comically manages to one-up his adversary, the big bad antagonist refuses to back down. Manga readers can expect more comedy and battle scenes from the upcoming Mashle: Magic and Muscles chapter 161.

Undoubtedly, the readers are in for a surprise, especially after seeing Innocent Zero's transition into a gag character in a manga panel. The side characters from the rival school and the teachers might engage in the battle, but everyone knows it is a fight between the boy without magic and the ultimate magical evil. Mash is Asta from Black Clover, except the story takes itself less seriously in a self-reflexive way.
