It's like if Asta and Mob somehow had a kid, where he takes after his dad in the looks department, but takes after his dad where he can't use magic, tho he shares their shared interest in muscle training by the looks of it.

The setting is literally the same as Black Clover.

A wizard society in a medical European-sequel setting & the main protagonist is a born magicless kid who worked out like to make up for his lack of magic.

The fact both series are published in the same magazine makes it all the more weirder.

But it's made worse by making the main character an annoying unlikable idiot. And his idiocy isn't even consistent, somehow he knows how money works but can't figure out doors. I read the first chapter, it was pretty bad. not just the writing, but the art itself does a lot wrong. At one point he's hit in the head and everyone around is bewildered, but we never see what actually hit him or where it came from. When he's being attacked by magic we don't see what spells are being cast, it's just a magical force I guess? I wont be reading more, I can't believe the editor let something this bad through without heavy rewriting and redrawing.
