Black Clover, Vol. 16 by Yûki Tabata

adventurous dark emotional

5.0

All I have to say to this is that I wasn't ready. There are huge plot twists involving the leader of the Midnight Sun in this volume. A lot of changes happen very slowly, and then all at once it feels like. I don't mean to say anything feels rushed. In fact I appreciate the pacing. It felt like a tsunami that slowly built up and then came crashing down all at once with a lot of loose ends unraveling in the process. 

The battle between the Wizard King and the leader of the Midnight Sun was probably the most interesting part of the volume. Yami shows up at the end o the battle. By that point, everything is emotionally riveting and is a bit of a tear jerker. We don't see the Wizard King and Yami interact often, but when we do it's very easy to tell how close they are. It's reminscent of a father-son relationship. The Wizard King supported Yami when no one else did and Yami definitely came through with his potential. Yami's character is almost a foreshadowing of Asta's future
Let's hope that Yami doesn't follow in the Wizard King's footsteps and die too, because he is one of my favorites and I might cry
. I'm looking forward to seeing how Asta's journey mirrors Yami's as far as beating the odds. This is a new pivotal point in the story. The entire status quo is going to be changed and that is both exciting and nerve wracking.
