Black Clover

A manga about a young boy determined to become the Magic Emperor, defender of the kingdom, despite being born with no magic power. He uses anti-magic swords and competes against his childhood friend and rival as he climbs the ranks of the Magic Knights.

…Yeah so this is 100% the plot of Naruto except you’ve replaced ninjas with magic.

Despite the unoriginal setup for this shonen battle manga, Black Clover is really enjoyable. Yuki Tabata’s art style is perfect for his action scenes that use dynamic paneling.

One aspect of this series that I want to praise is it’s refreshing take on the rivalry between Asta and Yuno. Unlike other shonen battle series where the main rival usually hates the protagonist, Yuno respects and believes in Asta and purely wants to compete with him.

One of the highest quality by-the-books shonen titles right now.
