The official website and Twitter account for the TV anime adaptation of Hajime Komoto's Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga series has announced that the anime is getting a second season in January 2024.
Viz describes the story as:
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!
Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 1 premiered on April 7, 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the series as part of their Spring 2023 anime season lineup. The English dub premiered on Crunchyroll on May 26, 2023.
