Mashle: Magic and Muscles is likely to reach a conclusion in the coming weeks. It has been stated that the series written by Hajime Komoto is heading towards a “super climax”in issue 31 of Weekly Shonen Jump. This is a terminology that has been used for the ending of other series as well, including Demon Slayer back in 2020.
Komoto stated in November 2022 that the series was heading toward the endgame of the story and that seems to be the case, as of this writing. Mashle has become a fan-favorite in the manga and anime community, so there are a lot of expectations from the climax.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga could end with 18 volumes
It has been announced that the Mashle series is heading to a conclusion in the coming weeks. The statement made by the people of Weekly Shonen Jump is that the manga is going to a “super climax”in issue 31 of the magazine. As mentioned earlier, this kind of statement is usually connected with the manga close to reaching its final act.
Recent arcs in the story have hinted towards a conclusion. It has also been announced that the upcoming chapter is going to have 24 pages and a colored one, which usually means that this is going to be a special publication for the series.
As of this writing, the Mashle series has a total of 16 volumes, but some chapters are yet to be compiled. Considering this and the fact that the series is still some chapters away from concluding, it could mean that the manga could end with 18 volumes.
The appeal of the series
The series, while having a couple of serious moments, relies a lot on comedy and satire. It has been compared to One Punch Man in that regard: both series are taking classic shonen tropes and giving them their own twist, although One Punch Man focuses on superheroes and this series on magic.
