On April 7, 2025, Weekly Shonen Jump announced an exciting update for fans of the beloved manga Black Clover. Authored and illustrated by Yuki Tabata, the series will release two new chapters, specifically chapters 379 and 380, in Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine. These new installments are set to hit the shelves on Friday, May 2, 2025.
Black Clover made its debut in February 2015 within the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump but transitioned to Jump GIGA in December 2023. To date, the manga has published ten chapters under the new magazine format.
Upcoming Release of New Chapters in May 2025
The preview from the latest Weekly Shonen Jump issue 19 revealed anticipation for the upcoming Jump GIGA Spring 2025 edition, which will feature the highly awaited Black Clover chapters. This edition will not only include the latest chapters but will also offer a vibrant lead-color page, following in the tradition of previous issues.
Historically, with only a few exceptions where the series released one or three chapters, Black Clover consistently features two chapters in every Jump GIGA issue. Therefore, the news of two upcoming chapters aligns perfectly with fan expectations.
The Jump GIGA Spring 2025 preview also shared exciting details about other series. Sakamoto Days will offer exclusive clear cards, a stylish poster, and coasters, while My Hero Academia: Vigilantes plans to debut themed stickers.
Audience Reactions to the New Developments
While many fans expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming release, others voiced disappointment that only two chapters would be available following a four-month hiatus. Some had anticipated a three-chapter release to celebrate the occasion.
“BC YESSSSSSSSS,”one fan exclaimed.
“Only 2 chapters?! Was hoping for 3…..but at least we back next month,”another fan remarked.
“See some upset with 2 chapters, but isn’t the 2 chapters to finish off the volume by now?”one fan commented.
“I would love for the anime to come back at some point,”another fan added.
Interestingly, several fans soon realized that the two-chapter release likely serves to complete the necessary chapters for an upcoming compiled volume. Enthusiasm remains high regarding the potential return of the anime series as well.
