Black Clover Volume 2
192 Pages | 2016
Summary: In a world of magic, Asta, a boy with anti-magic powers, will do whatever it takes to become the Wizard King!
Asta is a young boy who dreams of becoming the greatest mage in the kingdom. Only one problem—he can't use any magic! Luckily for Asta, he receives the incredibly rare five-leaf clover grimoire that gives him the power of anti-magic. Can someone who can't use magic really become the Wizard King? One thing's for sure—Asta will never give up!
On the orders of the Wizard King, Asta and his allies head to a mysterious dungeon to retrieve a powerful relic. When mages from a rival country show up, however, this mission turns into an all-out battle. Can Asta lead his team to the win?
Review: For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I will give a more generalized review than the one for volume 1. I feel Volume 2 both introduces us to new characters (We get a look into some of Yuno's squadmates.) which will be important moving forward and brings up issues that go beyond the Clover Kingdom. We are introduced to the Diamond Kingdom in this volume which really opens up the world further to the reader. It also introduces other potential conflicts that may pop up in the future for Asta and the Clover Kingdom as a whole. One big strength I feel Yuki Tabata has with writing is that he is great at building up an antagonist or group that will counter our protagonists.
