Table of Contents

Fans saw Noelle and Charlotte fight against Megicula in the latest chapter of Black Clover but now the manga is on break. Fans are wondering when the series is set to return with Chapter 303!

Yuki Tabata’s manga series has been going strong since 2015 when it was first released and comes highly rated by thousands of fans at 7.78 on My Anime List.

Black Clover has had no shortage of breaks and delays this year, with Golden Week taking place from April to May, Yuki Tabata’s health declining (temporarily) and the 2020 Japan Olympics. So now everyone is wondering why the series is on a break once again.

Chapter 303 delay explained

The original release date for Chapter 303 would have been Monday, 10th August 2021, following a week after the release of the previous chapter. However, as mentioned above the series release date has been pushed back for 2 weeks until the 22nd August 2021.

The reason for the series delay is that Shonen Jump Magazine issue 38 is going on break. While titles such as My Hero Academia, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Kaiju and Dragon Ball Super will be continuing with their weekly releases, titles such as Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen and Dr Stone will be returning on 22nd August 2021.
