Synopsis
of Black Clover
In a world
where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are
two orphans found on the same day in a church. While Yuno possesses exceptional
magical talent, Asta is totally devoid of magic. When they turn 15, they both
receive grimoires, books that enhance the magic of their wearer. The grimoire
of Asta is unique: an Anti-Magic Grimoire that can nullify
enemy spells. Although opposed, both are rivals determined to achieve the title
of Wise Man. Giving up is not an option.
