Can muscles crush magic?! In the magic realm, magic is everything--everyone can use it, and one's skill determines their social status. Deep in the forest, oblivious to the ways of the world, lives Mash. Thanks to his daily training, he's become a fitness god. When Mash is discovered, he has no choice but to enroll in magic school, where he must beat the competition without revealing his secret--he can't use magic! Mash just wants to live in peace with his father in the forest. But the only way he'll ever be accepted in the magic realm is by attending magic school and becoming a Divine Visionary--an exceptional student revered as one the chosen. But without an ounce of magic to his name, Mash will have to punch his way to the top spot. --… (more)

This is hilarious ( )

Harry Potter meets Black Clover with a dash of Hunter Hunter. ( )

A one-joke book: Imagine if Harry Potter were an aloof and scatterbrained bodybuilder couldn't do any magic but attended Hogwarts anyway and spent his time overcoming obstacles and winning at Quidditch through sheer brute force.

The dumb, juvenile antics kept me chuckling through this first volume, but I'm dubious about how far the joke can be stretched. I'll try a couple more volumes at least. ( )

Eh, was this supposed to be funny? Because not one of ‘em jokes was hitting. This is a run-of-the-mill power fantasy whose humor would work better in an animated form. I thought the father-son relationship was nice though.

Mash is overpowered and good at everything, so there’s no tension. That’s the joke though everyone is surprised he’s so exceptional. But it just leaves nothing for me to enjoy. Now, he’s not conceited or anything. He’s very nonchalant and calm actually, but I don’t care about him or any of the other characters.

I really really shy away from making comparisons because why not view each story as its own separate entity. But… One Punch Man (at least season 1) plays with this same premise but manages to make it entertaining off the strength of the characters alone.

It was a real constant temptation to dnf this.

SN: The author notes were so earnest and appreciative of readers. Also, do y'all owe the Harry Potter franchise royalties? That's legit the quidditch game ( )
