Black Clover reveals volume 36 cover art

The manga series' previous chapter was released back in June 2023. Since then, fans were left clueless about the next volume's release, especially because of the series' transfer to the quarterly magazine Jump GIGA. Later, it was revealed that Black Clover Volume 36 will be released on Friday, February 2, 2024.

Ever since that announcement, fans have been eagerly waiting for the manga to reveal the cover art for the upcoming volume. Thus, a week before the manga volume's release, Black Clover revealed the cover art for volume 36 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump #9. The cover art features Paladin Damnatio Kira and the members of the Black Bull squad.

Considering that the chapters in the manga volume mainly focus on that battle, it made sense for those characters to be centered on the cover of the manga volume. Damnatio Kira is shown with a green aura. Meanwhile, Black Bull members Grey and Gauce could be seen defeated. Meanwhile, other characters like Secre, Charmy, Luck, and Magna could be seen trying to fight the Paladin despite their injuries.
