Black Clover’s Summer Update Is Going to Be Its Biggest One Yet

by

This summer, the popular series Black Clover is coming back, and fans of the manga have much to anticipate in the upcoming issue. According to a reliable source like @WSJ_Manga on X (previously known as Twitter), the next installment of Black Clover in Jump GIGA Summer 2025 on August 12, 2025 will consist of three chapters, a cover, and the main color page. This is significantly more than what Black Clover provided in Spring 2025, which only included two chapters and the lead color page.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Black Clover‘s manga up to chapter 380.

In the latest installments of “Black Clover”, the storyline has progressed into an unnamed eleventh arc, which delves into the consequences of the shocking truth about Wizard King Julius Novachrono – he is actually Lucius, the fourth Zogratis brother, harboring a significant messianic complex. To bring readers up to speed on the past two issues: The Jump GIGA Winter 2025 (Chapters 377 and 378) wrapped up Volume 37 with two brief chapters showing Yuno and Asta joining forces against Lucius; the Jump GIGA Spring 2025 (Chapters 379 and 380) witnessed an escalation in the fight, as Asta appeared to succumb after Lucius manipulatively resurrected his mother as a human shield. The storyline then concluded with Yuno’s emotional declaration that Asta will always come back as long as Yuno remains.

It’s reasonable to assume that the extensive space given to Black Clover in Jump GIGA could be a strategic marketing move, considering the news of its anime’s comeback aligns with the announced return for Summer 2025. Given the dramatic cliffhanger in Chapter 380 and some fans predicting that Volume 38 might be the final installment, it seems Yuki Tabata’s popular shonen series is building up to an epic conclusion. With three chapters, the largest drop since Jump GIGA Autumn 2024, August’s Jump GIGA release promises to bring fans closer to its grand finale.

For a long time, the series “Black Clover” has struggled to gain recognition among its action shonen peers, often being labeled as derivative, dull, and imitative of more acclaimed titles like “Bleach” and “Naruto.” However, as the manga nears its conclusion and the fanbase for the anime continues to expand, creator Yuki Tabata is highlighting the unique qualities of the series: it’s creative originality is deeply rooted in its debt to shonen manga as a whole. The recent plot developments may seem predictable, but their successful implementation through “Black Clover”‘s distinctive narrative style has been the key factor that makes them work seamlessly.

Never has it been more evident than in its electrifying approach to the finale: Black Clover isn’t aiming to revolutionize the battle shonen genre, but rather to excel at what it does. And let me tell you, its recent chapters have certainly shown that it belongs among the best at what it does, delivering exciting, energetic, and emotionally satisfying action sequences without delay.
