REVIEW: Muscles are Better Than Magic!

Yuri's muscle magic is implied to be more than merely swole-beams, perhaps hinting at some greater power.

Filia is clearly defensive over being stereotyped by others as “just an elf” but feels comfortable around Yuri – he is the only person who lets her be Filia and not define her by her heritage and magic prowess.

The real question, of course, is whether it can maintain interest in future volumes.

The art is clean but nothing spectacular either. The characters are light on detail and have rather basic designs, while the backgrounds are present without being much to write home about. There is not much in the way of experimentation or stylistic flourish, other than a few intense moments when Yuri kicks his musculature into high gear.
