What is Black Clover?

One of the big, new Shonen shows on the block, Black Clover reached popularity around the world as a manga, by author Yūki Tabata, which began serialisation in 2015, and it is currently at 25 volumes. It was adapted into an anime shortly after its debut, with its first episode airing in 2017.

With 135 episodes currently aired, Black Clover continues to grow strong—some of you may even remember how popular it was at launch, thanks to Asta’s Japanese voice-actor, Gakuto Kajiwara, and his incredibly loud yelling! It has even stretched into the world of gaming with Black Clover: Quartet Knights on PlayStation 4 and PC, and Asta showed up to represent the series in cross-over game Jump Force, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Black Clover follows Asta, a young boy who is born without any magical power, as he trains and fights to become the next Wizard King. That would seem like an impossible task for one of the only people in the entire world without magical abilities, but for Asta, he can continue pushing forward, as his magic is “never giving up”! He is battling his childhood friend Yuno, who is naturally gifted, for the role of the Wizard King, though.

Asta joins the Black Bull squad, which is known for its destructive and incompetent behaviours, but when Asta joins, things begin to change for the better for the ragtag squad. Can they climb the ranks to become the most respected and powerful guild?
