A renowned Japanese leaker confirmed that the multimedia franchise based on the manga written and illustrated by Yuuki Tabata, Black Clover, will have a “super important announcement” in this year's seventeenth edition of Weekly Shonen Jump, which will be launched on 29 March in Japan. It should be noted that this edition marks the sixth anniversary of the series and coincides with one day before the broadcast of the final episode of the anime.
Tabata began publishing the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in February 2015, while the publisher published the twenty-seventh compiled volume on January 4, and will publish the twenty-eighth on April 2 in Japan.
The play is inspiring an anime adaptation produced by Pierrot Studios, directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and Ayataka Tanemura and scripts written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu and Hatsuo Nara, released in October 2017 and scheduled to end with its 170th episode.
Black Clover Synopsis
Asta and Yuno were dumped in the same church on the same day. Raised together as children, they came to know the "Wizard King," a title bestowed upon the strongest wizard in the kingdom, and vowed to compete with each other to see who might become the next Wizard King. However, as they grew older the vast difference between them became apparent. While Yuno is capable of wielding magic with astonishing power and control, Asta cannot use magic at all, and desperately tries to awaken his powers by physically training.
When they turn 15, Yuno receives a spectacular Grimoire with a four-leaf clover, while Asta receives nothing. However, shortly after, Yuno is attacked by a person named Lebuty, whose main objective is to get hold of Yuno's Grimoire. Although hopeless and on the verge of defeat, Asta finds the strength to survive upon hearing Yuno's voice, and unleashing his inner emotions receives a Grimoire of a five-leaf clover, a "Black Clover" that grants him enough power to overcome the threat. Now they both have a chance to become the Wizard King!
