Where To Start Black Clover Manga After Anime

Alright, Black Clover fans! The anime ended. Now you're itching for more magic, right? You want to jump into the manga. But where do you even begin?

So, You Wanna Read Black Clover After the Anime...

It's a great choice. The manga is fantastic. You're in for a treat. But first things first...

The "Official" Starting Point (And Why It's Maybe...Boring?)

Everyone will tell you to start at chapter 270. That's where the anime supposedly ends. It aligns with the end of the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc. But honestly? I think that's a bit dull.

Hear me out. The anime did a pretty good job. They covered the arc faithfully. Do you really want to relive all those fights again? I didn't think so.

My Unpopular (But Totally Valid) Opinion: Skip Ahead!

Ready for some controversy? I say, skip to chapter 273 or 274. That's roughly where things start to deviate a bit more. You get fresh content faster!

You'll miss a tiny bit of transition. But nothing major. You'll quickly get the gist. Trust me; you won't be lost.

But Wait! What About All the Pretty Pictures?

Okay, okay, I get it. Yuki Tabata's art is amazing! You want to see every panel. You want to soak it all in. I understand that desire.

In that case, maybe skim the last few chapters of the Spade Kingdom Arc. Focus on the art. Refresh your memory. Then, boldly leap forward!

The Real "Right" Answer: Whatever Makes You Happy!

Look, there's no wrong way to enjoy Black Clover. The important thing is that you're reading it! Don't let anyone gatekeep your experience.

If you're a completionist, start at 270. If you're impatient like me, skip ahead a bit. Or even further! No judgement here.

Where To Actually Read It

Now that we have a location to start from, where should you even go to read Black Clover? You can find Black Clover on places such as Viz Media and Manga Plus.

Viz Media provides the official English translations of the manga. So does Manga Plus which is Shueisha's official online manga platform, offers simulpub releases, often free to read.

Bonus Tip: Don't Forget the Movie!

After you catch up on the manga, don't forget to watch the Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King movie! It's a fun side story.

It expands on the world. It gives you more Black Bulls action. Plus, it's just plain awesome.

So, what are you waiting for? Go read some Black Clover! You won't regret it. Magic is calling!
