After months of radio silence, we can finally rejoice as Jump Giga 2024 Winter is about to drop the much-anticipated Chapter 369 on December 25, 2023. Just in time for Christmas, this release promises to be a treat for fans eagerly awaiting the return of Asta and the Clover Kingdom. Here’s everything you need to know about the manga’s comeback, including where you can read it once it releases, its new release schedule, and more!
When and How to Read Black Clover Manga on Jump Giga
We know Black Clover plans to makes its grand return in Jump Giga on December 25th, 2023 with a whopping 28 pages. But where can you read it after it releases?
- Once a new Black Clover chapter drops in Jump Giga, it will simultaneously hit the virtual shelves in English on two widely accessible platforms – Manga Plus by Shueisha and the Shonen Jump Platform. This is fantastic news for fans worldwide, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their location, can dive into the latest happenings in the Clover Kingdom right away.
For those who have been using Manga Plus to catch up on other popular series like Black Clover, One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen, this move is especially convenient. It’s business as usual, but with the added benefit of simultaneous English releases, allowing fans to join the adventure without any delays.
Black Clover Manga has a New Release Schedule
Black Clover, having last graced Weekly Shonen Jump with Chapter 368 in August 2023, left fans wondering about its fate. The suspense ended with the revelation that Black Clover has found a new home in Jump Giga, a magazine that operates on a quarterly schedule.
- This means that fans will have to adjust their expectations, as a quarterly schedule means the Black Clover manga will now release four chapters a year instead of the weekly dosage like it used to.

Will all future Black Clover Chapters be only 28 pages?
A cloud of uncertainty looms over the Black Clover community regarding the page count of future chapters, particularly after the unexpected revelation of that the upcoming chapter has a modest 28 pages. Fans are understandably curious – will this be the new standard for Black Clover chapters moving forward?
- We previously speculated that the reduced page count might be a one-time occurrence. Fans keenly observed that the decision to keep the page count low was likely a strategic move by Shueisha to streamline the compilation of the upcoming volume. If we count the 28 pages designated for the upcoming chapter, it appears that the manga’s chapters now provide just enough material to be properly compiled into a cohesive volume.
With 28 pages dedicated to the upcoming chapter and considering the pages already released, Black Clover Volume 36 is set to hit the shelves on Friday, February 2, 2023. This release aligns with Jump Giga magazine’s schedule, solidifying the theory that Chapter 369 was the missing puzzle piece needed to complete the volume.
- While the confirmation of a longer page count for future chapters is yet to come from either the publisher or the mangaka, Yuki Tabata, fans are optimistic. The hope is that the upcoming chapters might have a more generous 50–60-page count. However, until an official announcement is made, fans will have to wait in anticipation, fingers crossed for a richer Black Clover reading experience in the chapters to come.
Conclusion:
Jump Giga 2024 Winter is gearing up to be a turning point for Black Clover fans. The manga is set to return on December 25th and will be available to read on both the Manga Plus App and Shonen Jump Platform.
