Black Clover Manga Reaches Sales Peak Ahead of Movie Debut

Black Clover is gearing up to return with a major new feature film later this month, and Yuki Tabata’s original Black Clover manga has been doing so well as a result that it has reached an impressive new milestone ahead of Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King’s worldwide debut! Black Clover‘s anime came to an end some time ago with 170 episodes under its belt, but it was surprisingly announced that the anime would continue instead with a debut movie that features an original story not seen in the manga. As the new movie draws near, Black Clover is hotter than ever. 

Black Clover’s manga is also in the midst of the final arc of Yuki Tabata’s original series, and it seems like all of these factors are now drawing more eyes to the series than ever. With the launch of the newest volume of the Black Clover manga on shelves across Japan, it’s been revealed (as spotted by @WSJ_manga on Twitter) that the series has hit a massive new sales milestone with 19 million copies in circulation worldwide ahead of the release of Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King later this month.
