Black Clover is a Japanese anime/manga which started on October 3, 2017 made by Yuki Tabata. This is a manga which starts in a magic world’s village named Hage where there is only one boy without a magical power. He is also the main character of the series named Asta. This character was an abandoned child left in the church. He has a rival who is extraordinary and is loved by my Mana ( a spiritual energy which keeps the character’s alive and allows them to perform magic and spells.) He is a royal from another country named Spade Kingdom and was later abandoned in the Clover kingdom’s church. Later, he becomes a rival for becoming the Mahoutsukai ( Magic Wizard king). Characters wish to become the wizard king because legends say that the wizard King once killed a devil in Hage. And as a proof the skull of the devil was in Hage village. This was the start of the adventure. In this world of wizards, people get gilmore (books of power) from which most of the people learn spells and as for Asta he did not get a gilmore. Everyone at the place gets a gilmore but Asta. Yuno, the other character gets a four leaf gilmore which was considered the strongest and also the first wizard king had the same gilmore. After that they go outside for a walk. A stranger comes to take Yuno’s gilmore but Asta interrupts and at last a gilmore comes out of nowhere and it chooses Asta.
Asta gets the gilmore and opens it and takes out a sword from the gilmore. In history, it was the first gilmore that gave a sword. Then Asta gets extraordinary power which is antimagic. He could cut any magic attack. Then Asta and Yuno go to the royal capital to join the magic Knights ( heroes who fight against
evil and minor issues too.) But in the exam, Asta fails the first two test rounds. And when the next test begins it was 1vs1 and the players could choose the partners and one of the characters Bahha chooses Asta and against Bahas’s defence he puts his spell and starts the attack and Asta cuts his spell with his antimagic sword and then with his years of training the body with the speed of light he strikes Bahha and wins.
In the series, later, one of the Magic Knight’s squad captain comes down and creates humongous pressure with his magic in the atmosphere and asks Asta if he still wanted to be the wizard king and after that Asta answered yes with a lot of hardship and the pressure disappeared and the captain laughed and took Asta in the Black bull’s squad. And Yuno was taken in by the captain of the Golden dawn squad. Bahha even after cheating enters the 4th best squad where Yuno had entered. The best Golden Dawn and Asta enter the worst squad; Black bulls.
