The original Mashle manga, which includes the subtitle Muscles and Magic, is serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine with Viz Media releasing the English version digitally each week via the Shonen Jump app as well in printed collected volumes. Viz describes the story as such:

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!
