In a world where magic determines status and power, Asta is an orphan born without any magic ability at all — a defect that should doom him to obscurity. His rival Yuno is a magical prodigy. Both swore to become Wizard King. Asta compensates for his total lack of magic with anti-magic grimoires and sheer physical conditioning, fighting his way into the Black Bulls — the kingdom's most disreputable Magic Knight squad. Black Clover is an earnest, energetic shonen that wears its inspirations on its sleeve and rewards patient viewers with steadily improving animation and an ambitious late-game story.
