Black Clover Returns: What Can You Expect?
The upcoming chapter is said to be 28 pages long. The chapter will include color pages, a special poster, and stickers to commemorate its release and return. However, this announcement comes with another one. It is decided that the manga series will now transition to Shueisha’s quarterly Jump GIGA magazine. Yuki Tabata and Shueisha’s Editorial Department came to decide together that they should do that in order to allow the mangaka a healthy pace to conclude the series.
Black Clover Returns: The Fans’ Reaction
The announcement has induced mixed reactions among Black Clover fans. While many were delighted with the news of the manga’s return, some expressed disappointment regarding the chapter’s length.
The standard for Jump GIGA magazine chapters is typically longer, around 50 to 60 pages. Fans had hoped for a much longer chapter, considering the three-month hiatus. The revelation that the upcoming chapter would consist of only 28 pages has caused a bit of disappointment.
Despite the disappointment over the chapter’s length, some fans are eager to find and speculate better things, such as the decision to release shorter chapters, which might indicate a longer serialization period for Black Clover. This perspective led to optimism among fans, as they considered the possibility of the series continuing for an extended duration, potentially stretching out for years.
The chapter’s release will undoubtedly be a moment for Black Clover enthusiasts as the series is set out to reach its conclusion slowly. As we approach Christmas, make sure to catch up with Black Clover and enjoy an additional feast this Christmas.
