Manga reached climax in 3-chapter finale

This year’s spring issue of Shueisha‘s Jump Giga magazine published the final three chapters of Yūki Tabata‘s Black Clover manga. Shueisha had previously announced that the manga would reach its climax in this issue.

Tabata launched Black Clover in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2015. The manga moved to the quarterly Jump Giga magazine in 2023. Viz Media is publishing the manga digitally and in print, and Shueisha‘s MANGA Plus service is also publishing the manga digitally.

The manga went on hiatus for a planned three months in late April 2022 so that Tabata could prepare for the “final arc” of the manga (the wording used could also be translated as “final saga”). The manga then resumed in August 2022.

The Black Clover anime premiered in Japan in October 2017. The show was originally listed with 51 episodes, but it continued into a new season with episode 52 in October 2018, and continued on again into a new season in October 2019. Crunchyroll streamed the series in Japanese with English subtitles, and Funimation streamed the show’s English dub. The anime debuted on Adult Swim‘s Toonami programming block in December 2017. The anime last aired in March 2021 with its 170th episode.

The new season will debut in 2026. Studio Pierrot will return to animate the new season. Crunchyroll will stream the anime.

Crunchyroll describes the story:

In a world where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are both found abandoned at a church on the same day. While Yuno is gifted with exceptional magical powers, Asta is the only one in this world without any. At the age of fifteen, both receive grimoires, magic books that amplify their holder’s magic. Asta’s is a rare Grimoire of Anti-Magic that negates and repels his opponent’s spells. Being opposite but good rivals, Yuno and Asta are ready for the hardest of challenges to achieve their common dream: to be the Wizard King. Giving up is never an option!

The Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (Black Clover: Mahо̄tei no Ken) anime film opened in Japan and debuted on Netflix worldwide in June 2023.

K MANGA describes Square Up for Love‘s story:

Mize Takahashi is a 28-year-old office worker who lives by herself. She’s currently dating Sakurai-senpai from the same company☆―or so she thought.

While heartbroken, Mize has an unexpected reunion at her family’s restaurant with her childhood friend Ritsu, who is nine years her junior. It has been ages since Mize last saw him, but the person he likes is…actually her?! At age 28, an uncertain love begins.

Lonely Deaths Lie Thick as Snow launched on Kodansha‘s Magazine Pocket app in August 2021. The manga will end with its 12th compiled book volume. Kodansha published the 11th volume on December 23.

Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga and describes the story:

A routine call regarding a burglary at an empty mansion leads cocky young police detective Jin Saeki to a gruesome and shocking discovery. The corpses of 13 children, along with the presence of a strange symbol, spur a manhunt for Juzo Haikawa, the mysterious absentee owner of the house. So begins an investigation (and an obsession) that will take Jin all over Japan and into the darkest recesses of both the past and the human soul.

Kodansha USA shipped the first volume on March 3 and will ship the second volume on May 12.

The manga inspired a live-action series in July 2024.
