魔法? そんなことより筋肉だ! [Mahou? Sonna Koto Yori Kinniku da!] #3

Volume 3 of Mahou? Sonna Koto Yori Kinniku da! ("Magic? Who Needs It When You've Got Muscles!") delivers exactly what the title promises — a massively built, dark-haired fighter front and center, fist clenched and ready for anything, while a white-haired young woman with animal ears looks on beside him and a fiery battle erupts dramatically in the background. The contrast between the hulking warrior's raw physicality and the fantasy magic blazing behind him captures the series' whole delightful premise in a single glance. Kadokawa's ongoing ode to brawn over spellcraft keeps the energy high heading into its third volume.
