Black Clover #1
SCORE: 69
The more I read different manga the more I notice some of the same
character types being used. Black Clover #1 has some characters very
similar to characters in other manga I have read. The drunk woman that
is barely dressed is a great example. Another one would be the hero that
always stands up for his friends no matter how over matched he is. I am
beginning to question the amount of creativity in the manga and anime
realms.
The issues families can have with Black Clover #1 are magic, violence,
false god/goddess, lack of attire, enticement to lust, and more. There
is a major class structure in Black Clover #1. The more magic you have
the more valuable you are in this fantasy world. There are secrets to be
revealed in this fantasy world as well.
Asta and Yuno were left at the doorstep of a church. Asta has no magic
and Yuno was given the grimoire that has incredibly powerful magic. Asta
is the main character in Black Clover #1. Asta is also granted a
grimoire of anti-magic. In other words Astra can dispel or reflect any
magic that is sent his way. Asta does this with a giant sword. Asta
starts as a joke and actually becomes more powerful. Asta also works on
physical conditioning in Black Clover #1. I have a feeling that will
become more important as this story progresses. I guess I will need to
keep reading to find out for certain.
There are some strange scenes within Black Clover #1. For example Asta
is begging a nun to marry him. He winds up getting attacked by magic to
leave her alone. The main guy behind writing Black Clover #1 sounds very
humble, and thankful to others. This is really nice to see in Black
Clover #1.
I am on the fence concerning Black Clover #1. For me it was a harder
read than Fairy Tail or Dr. Stone. At the same time I think the ground
work is being lain for an interesting series. I am not big on the well
known stereotype characters being used in Black Clover #1. I was hoping
for something a bit different. I guess the concept is to have us connect
with the plucky young hero who never gives up. The premise also feels
similar.
