This has been one of the coolest arcs in Jump right now. The action, the high level magic, the immensely powerful characters. It's like watching Dumbledore fight Voldemort, but for like three months straight. Volume 1 just came out in print, so I'm gonna start re-read the series bi-monthly as the physical volumes come out. So expect some old Mashle volumes getting re-reads over the next few months!

[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

A cover-to-cover brawl where following all the spells warping space and time can get a little confusing and the long sections without Mash Burnedead make me wonder why I"m reading this at all. When Mash does show up, he's just straight-up Superman now, and I'm not sure I want to read a Superman book.

I've read all the volumes my local library has at this point, so I have to take a break from this series anyway. I'm not going to request that the library purchase more volumes, but I might check them out if the library does get more in the future.

Oh j’étais très impatiente d’avoir ce huitième tome entre les mains. J’aime tellement ce manga avec tous ces petits clins d’oeil à Harry Potter. C’est bourré d’humour et surtout beaucoup d’actions. Après les évènements du tome précédent, j’étais vraiment très impatiente de découvrir cette suite. Ça s’annonçait tellement mais tellement intéressant et palpitant! Et ce fut le cas, on a encore eu un tome à la hauteur de mes espérances et bien plus encore.

Dans ce huitième tome, on découvre Innocent Zéro qui débarque en personne à Easton avec la ferme intention d’emmener Mash. Alors que les camarades de ce dernier s’efforcent d’éliminer les créatures invoquées par l’ennemi, Dot et Lance sont frappés par un terrible sortilège. En effet, les voilà redevenus des nourrissons! De son côté, le directeur, qui s’était interposé, est contraint d’affronter une incarnation de son ancien maître, Adam Jobs.. L’élève affronte donc le maître pour défendre l’avenir de Mash qui, malgré son incapacité à pratiquer la magie, va devoir protéger l’académie d’un monstre à la taille vertigineuse!

Si je devais résumer ce huitième tome en un seul mot, je dirais : action. Pas un seul moment calme durant cette lecture. On a de l’action de la première à la dernière page. Pas de répit pour les braves, pas le temps de reprendre son souffle. Et c’était vraiment absolument génial! On a vraiment pas le temps de s’ennuyer ici tant il se passe des choses. L’histoire prend une tournure plus qu’agréable et je suis déjà très impatiente d’avoir le tome suivant entre les mains. Surtout lorsque l’on voit cette fin, on sait que ça va être encore une fois incroyable et je sens que l’on va encore avoir droit à des sacrés combats! J’ai beaucoup aimé le sortilège qui a rendu Dot et Lance tel des nourrissons, c’était tellement drôle à voir!

Encore une fois, on a un tome bourré d’actions et surtout toujours cette touche d’humour typique du manga. J’aime tellement cette histoire, on ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde, on a tout le temps de l’action, des rebondissements et j’en passe. On en est déjà au huitième tome, ça passe si vite! En tout cas c’est toujours aussi palpitant et intéressant à suivre! Ce cher Mash est vraiment un personnage excellent!

3 to 3.5

Too much stuff happened too fast. It was a fun read but mashle just doesn't ever offer anything more than that.

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Avec Mashle, on ne s’ennuie jamais et ce huitième tome en est bien la preuve ! J’ai adoré la partie ou certains personnages redeviennent des nourrissons !

Les tomes sont de plus en plus rythmés avec beaucoup de combats ! Si vous êtes friands de ce genre de mangas, cela ne pourra que vous plaire.

J’avoue que même si j’apprécie toujours ma lecture de cette série, j’espère tout de même qu’il n’y aura pas trop de tomes afin que cela ne devienne pas une série à rallonge inutilement.

Dans tous les cas, je serai au rendez-vous pour la sortie du tome 9 dont la parution est prévue pour le 22 juin prochain ! ♥

Just when I think this series can go anymore into the OP extremes, there is a massive tug of war moment with a certain muscle boy and a giant demon like monster..... well yeah!!!

[Blake the Book Eater · Rating 4 out of 5]

A truly great fight that’s epic in scope and Mash just being there like o_o

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty fun volume, two big fights. One being the headmaster of the entire school. There's still funny parts but less funny than last few volumes. Will still read cause fun breezy read.

Mash Burndead unironically makes me want to hit the gym every day.

[Everett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although I've been having a lot of fun with this series none of the volumes have had that extra level to give it five stars. They're exciting, humorous, but a bit all over the place and can have strange pacing. But out of any of the books so far, this one deserves that highest ranking the most. In this volume Mash and his friends fight agaisnt Innocent Zero's attack on the Divine Visionary exam, with Wahlberg directly confronting Innocent Zero. I thought the whole book was very well put together and paced, and visually the main fight was amazing. It didn't struggle with any of the design issues I've had with other fights where the giant words and slashes would cover things up and make it hard to picture what was going on. The magic present in that fight was shown in very creative ways which made the whole thing a visual wonder. I also think what's particularly interesting about Wahlberg and Innocent Zero compared to other characters is that they have one line normally and can go up to three lines, which means they learned to get two more lines worth of skill on their own.

It was crucial for Innocent Zero's introduction to be well written as he does seem to be the main antagonist of the whole series. I think he seems interesting enough, and I like that he has a shared history with Wahlberg, considering that they had the same master. I did notice that there was a third student alongside them, and I wonder who that is. I thought that the shapeshifting was a nice touch, and I like that even in his normal form he wasn't completely there, which was a cool visual touch. In general, I loved how Komoto drew their time and space spells, using two concepts that are already fairly abstract on their own and using them to fight against each other when they're evenly matched. I also love how Komto drew the dark magic spells in a way that is different from his usual style- the use of negative space to make these hazy shapes contrasted nicely with the rest of the art and was extremely well drawn. Clearly my favorite part of this book was the art, because god was it especially amazing in this one.

On top of the fighting I still thought the humor was sprinkled in well. I loved Dot and Lance as babies so much it was adorable! I loved that they kept getting distracted by the rattle and it was a nice bit of fun before the rest of the book became more melancholy and pensive.



I also thoguht it was hilarious how Margarette used their broken wand during the book, which was a nice touch. I noticed on the cover they had their intact wand and I clocked it immediately, but thankfully that was just for consistency on the cover.

"How do you figure?"
"Woman's intuition."
"Oh, so you're a girl? I was wondering about that."

We love a nonbinary icon. But that does make me notice how few female characters there have been so far in the series. I would love to see more girls who have important roles, because so far all we have is Lemon who doesn't even do anything besides just pop up at random moments to be insane. I love her for that, though.

++Potential spoilers in the next paragraph++

Mash was great in this volume too, of course. I really love how 90% of the time he's so flat and relaltively emotionless, but when he locks in he becomes a god. It was pretty sweet to see that the whole school was rooting for him in the end. I know he was supposed to be an outcast, but I don't see how anyone could actually hate him because he holds almost no grudges and only really cares about doing his workouts and eating cream puffs. As for his greater purpose with Innocent Zero, I have a theory about that. Innocent Zero seems to be pulling a "reverse Voldemort" where instead of splitting himself up to make himself unstoppable he's going to absorb his children he's created in order to get access to their skills. I believe that Mash was sort of designed to be strong so that Innocent Zero could get those skills? But then my question is why would he abandon Mash in the first place? Wouldn't it make sense to keep him close so he doesn't grow up getting an outside perspective and could potentailly cause issues, as he is now. Was him having no magic abilities on purpose or an accident? And if it was on purpose why would you abandon him when there was a high probability he would be executed. Or maybe that was the goal, but there's so much that's unknown right now about Innocent Zero's specific plans regarding Mash.

Ugh, this volume was so good. The art was amazing, the visuals stuning, and it made me feel on the edge of the seat. This volume really tugged on my heartstrings as it spent time delving into Wahlberg's past and his relationship with his master, Adam Jobs (which is such a mundane name for the most powerful magic weilder lol). The whole volume felt like it had much more of a purpose than the last, and the fight scenes were way more dynamic this time alot. With books like this I don't think any review I could ever write would actually properly describe what I enjoyed about the book. It's mostly just me rambling, after all. Overall, I just feel like I really meshed with this volume in paticular, and I found it more exciting and gripping than the previous ones. I had so much fun reading this one, and it's a great introduction into the next arc of the series!

Adoro come le supercazzole non siano mai scontate in questo manga (bonus plus: lacrimucce alla fine).

[Chiara · Rating 5 out of 5]

COMMENTO PERSONALE: Sono rimasta davvero colpita dal fatto che il preside abbia a che fare con questa società segreta e che nessuno sapesse niente. Si tratta di un volume pregno di azione e di combattimenti in cui si vedono gli studenti della scuola di magia che sono affascinati dallo spettacolo e dalla loro morte imminente. Dot e Lance che saranno costretti a fare squadra e ci sarà anche una signora con un potere singolare e particolare e i due si ritroveranno coinvolti a lottare assieme nonostante una nuova particolare condizione.
Viene fuori una storia piuttosto particolare che riguarda l'origine di Mashle ed emerge una figura che aveva a che fare con il preside della scuola.
Diciamo che questo volume è davvero ricco di avventura e non si risparmia in niente.
Mashle continua a rapirmi e ad affascinarmi in modo costante in quanto sia l'unico a non avere la magia ma a risolvere tutte le situazioni mei modi effettivamente più assurdi e impensati.
Purtroppo lo scontro ha le sue conseguenze davvero devastanti ma il preside crede fortemente nel piccolo Mash. Lui comunque a un tratto sembrerebbe voler sapere ardentemente le sue origini e dal momento dopo ci ha messo un'enorme pietra asserendo che sarebbe riuscito a distruggere e ad annientare chiunque toccasse i suoi amici con un enorme pugno, praticamente come se fossero delle mosche a tutti gli effetti.
Alla fine di questo volume già denso arriva la creazione di un mostro che come compito ha quello di decimare gli studenti ma il fatto è che solamente Mash sarebbe stato in grado di distruggerlo in quanto non possa essere sconfitto con la magia. Continuo decisamente a consigliarvi questa storia perché credetemi che vi terrà decisamente incollati.

Ed eccoci qua, giunti al termine di una nuova avventura. Ora ritorno tra le storie e i libri ma anche ovviamente alla mia vita piuttosto full purtroppo.


Alla prossima avventura

اینم از جلد هشتم مانگاmashle
این جلد یکی از تاپ ترین و بهترین جلد ها بود که همه دنیا ماشل توی این جلد دگرگون میشه و واقعیت هایی روشن میشه که خیلی شکه کنندس و فایت هایی رو کاور میکنه که بهترینشون فایت والبرگ و زیرو اینستنت بود که خیلی تکنیک های خفنی داشتن که با ارت فوق العاده ای که داشت خیلی دلچسب بود و واقعا بخوام در مورد ارتش بیشتر صحبت کنم ارتی بود که با کیفیت و عظمتی که داشت تکنیک ها خیلی خفن بود و به جرأت آرت سری توی این جلد در بهترین حالت بود....
و در اخر جلد که بالاخره ماشل وارد شد و با ورودی تماشایی مثل همیشه خیلی خفن به نظر رسید....در مورد ارت استایل بخوام صحبت کنم ارت استایل خیلی ها رو دوست دارم اما ارت استایل بعضی از شخصیت ها خیلی جالب نیست مثل زیرو اینستنت که ارت استایل خوب و خفنی داره ولی ارت استایل قوی ترین جادوگر یعنی استاد والبرگ و زیرو خیلی عادیه و بهتربود که یکم خفن تر طراحی می شد....
این مانگا رو از دست ندید...

[Brandon · Rating 2 out of 5]

The two 'greatest' mages in the world square off and it's full of powerful magics of overwhelming scale, so overwhelming that I don't really understand or get them. When Dot uses explosion magic? I understand explosions! When Lance uses gravity magic? I understand gravity (sort of). But now we have time and space magic? Abstractly I know what they are but they immediately use powers that are so high level and abstract, without explaining anything, that the battles are hard to follow. Lots of random shapes and colour inversions. And very little of Mash, as Innocent Zero and Wahlberg to battle and he sits around listening to them. Not much comedy in this volume, which is a shame since that's always been the series' highlight. At least it looks like this arc is over now, and I can watch Hajime Komoto try to wrestle back the plot into something understandable.

[Rereader · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a much more story-driven and backstory heavy volume than previous ones, but it was still an enjoyable, hilarious read. Something I haven't brought up until now that I want to mention is the little side stories in each volume. They're fucking hilarious and add to the charm of the story as a whole. They kind of remind me of little slice-of-life interludes in between the main story and are a nice break from the batshit insanity of said story. I don't know why I haven't mentioned it til now, but this volume's side story was hilarious and I wanted to give it as well as the others a shout out.

Nothing else to say outside of those two things because, really, you know the drill by now: the action was amazing, the characters fun and endearing, the comedy spot-on, seriously need I go on? This was another great volume in a great series, enough said.

Headmaster Wahlberg gets pulled into the fight when the Innocent Zero show up and try to hold the whole school in their thrall. We learn a ton about who the actual threat is here and how Wahlberg got mixed up with them in the first place. Mash is tested again and again, but continues to do the right thing for the right reasons. The head Innocent Zero is out only for himself and immortality, we learn why he is after Mash and it actually fits within the story framework really nicely.

This is my favorite installment in a while not just for the giant action set pieces, but for the sheer amount of plot and context we get. I'll be very curious where the story pivots next, but they laid a lot of groundwork for where ever they would like to go.

[Đức Nhật · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tập này đỉnh. Tiếp tục mở rộng thế giới, xuất hiện các nhân vật với sức mạnh pháp thuật kinh khủng. Cell War hay Innocent Zero (và hiệu trưởng Walhberg) sử dụng đũa thần và lấy được sức mạnh từ các vị thần. Bên cạnh đó là tiếp tục đào sâu vào mối quan hệ giữa Hiệu trưởng Walhberg với Innocent Zero và người thầy của họ. Ai cũng được khai thác đủ sâu và khiến mình thấy hào hứng khi đọc.
Mash với 3 chiến công lớn: đánh bại Cell War, kịp cứu thầy hiệu trưởng (hú hồn tưởng thầy sẽ ngỏm như Dumbledore trong Harry Potter rồi :>) và cứu cả trường. Kể cả khi anh không có phép thuật thì cơ bắp của anh cũng đủ đánh bại những kẻ xấu trong này rồi. Đáng nể.

La escuela se encuentra bajo ataque por un grupo de magos oscuros. ¿Cuál es su objetivo? ¿Podrán los estudiantes detenerlos?

Me encanta la mezcla de acción, aventura y humor que ofrece este manga. Las bromas simples pero efectivas me hacen reír a carcajadas. La trama va creciendo de manera emocionante, y el mundo mágico se vuelve cada vez más complejo y fascinante.

La revelación sobre el motivo de los magos oscuros es impactante y cambia completamente la perspectiva de la historia. En resumen, este manga es una lectura muy recomendada para aquellos que buscan diversión, acción y golpes. ¡No te pierdas la oportunidad de disfrutar de esta emocionante aventura!

This series is FUN! What can I say, the humor and the action make it a page-turning fun time! Story and art are perfectly melded together by Hajime Komoto. Mash is a wanted man! The school is in grave danger and the odds seem to be stacking against Mash and the gang...but even in the most stress filled battles, Mash seems to say as cool as the other side of the pillow. This volume flies by because of the action sequences but is a solid entry and very much welcomed!

[Kayuri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Die Geschichte spitzt sich zu. Es gibt mehrere Kämpfe die vor allem zeigen wie stark die Gegner sind. Auch auf Mash’s Seite gibt es natürlich starke Personen. Aber irgendwie schafft es Mash auch hier wieder alles mit seinen Muskeln zu drehen. Auch wenn man das Gefühl bekommt alles schonmal irgendwo ähnlich gelesen zu haben, macht Mashle weiterhin Spaß. Es ist ein leichter schneller read bei dem man nicht viel nachdenken muss. Auch wenn die Geschichte langsam wirklich düster wird.

[Chris Lohn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun series that feels like a cross between Harry Potter and One-Punch Man.
Volume 8 starts getting a little more serious with bigger stakes and more backstory.
Mash, the main character, is still the same goofy guy from previous volumes, but the balance between serious and humor is a nice change.

[Nekochimachan (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 8 of Mashle hit the right spot where you can finally have a few answers why Innocent Zero wanted Mash at the same time learning Headmaster Wahlberg's past. Of course, I can't stop laughing that Mash forgotten about Cell War and how he eats a fighting candy in mere seconds. Topnotch between wizards and Mash.
