All the ‘Black Clover’ arcs laid out in order so you can scream, ‘NOT YET!

Despite getting its start in 2015, Black Clover has already cemented itself as one of the greatest shonen series of all time. That it retains this status even with frequent manga hiatuses and an unfinished anime is a testament to how good it is. 

Created by Yuki Tabata, Black Clover follows Asta, a young boy who dreams of becoming the Wizard King. Despite not displaying any magical powers, Asta is given a rare grimoire that allows him to use anti-magic abilities and become a Magic Knight. Now closer to his goal than ever, Asta competes with his childhood friend and rival, the magical prodigy Yuno, to realize his dream. 

Like most manga and anime, Black Clover’s story is separated into different arcs. Here’s every arc in Black Clover so far.

All arcs in Black Clover, in order 

• Magic Knights Entrance Arc: Manga chapters 1-10; anime episodes 1-13 
• Dungeon Exploration Arc: Manga chapters 11-21; anime episodes 14-19
• Royal Capital Assault Arc: Manga chapters 22-37; anime episodes 20-27
