Black Clover Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Special Art by Eiichiro Oda, Masashi Kishimoto, and Tite Kubo

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the manga Black Clover, the upcoming Shonen Jump GIGA 2025 SUMMER issue—on sale August 12—will feature a special commemorative project. The magazine will not only spotlight Black Clover on its cover but will also include a bonus set of illustration cards contributed by 17 prominent manga artists.

Among them, first-look tribute illustrations by One Piece’s Eiichiro Oda, Naruto’s Masashi Kishimoto, and Bleach’s Tite Kubo have been unveiled, with Oda’s piece depicting Black Clover protagonist Asta.

The cover illustration, newly drawn by Black Clover author Yuki Tabata, features Asta and Yuno. The artwork will be available as a fold-out poster in two versions: “Asta ver.” and “Yuno ver.”. In addition to these posters, the issue includes a “10th Anniversary Clear Stand” and the aforementioned tribute illustration cards.

Furthermore, an original art exhibition for Black Clover has been officially announced, with additional details to be shared in future issues of Shonen Jump GIGA and Weekly Shonen Jump. A 10th anniversary commemorative PV has also been released via the Jump Channel on YouTube.

Black Clover is a magical fantasy manga that follows Asta—a boy born without magic in a world where magic means everything—and his rival Yuno, as they strive to become the Wizard King. The series debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2015 and is currently serialized in Jump GIGA. It has surpassed 19 million copies in circulation.

The anime adaptation aired from 2017 to 2021 and topped viewing charts in 87 countries and regions. In 2023, the series was adapted into both a theatrical film and a stage production. A second season of the anime has also been confirmed.
