Black Clover’s Final Volume Crowns Day-1 Shoseki Chart

Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover closed its print run the way a shonen finale should—front and center. On the first day of Weekly Shonen Jump’s August 4 volume wave, the series’ 38th and final tankōbon locked the top slot on the unofficial Shoseki ranking tracked by Jump-watchers, ahead of a stacked release slate.

Day-one placements put Sakamoto Days Vol. 28 in second, with Someone Hertz, Akane-banashi, and The Elusive Samurai rounding out the early top five. Further down the same chart, Witch Watch, Undead Unluck spin-off U.E. Kiyoshi, Under Ninja adjacent title Under Doctor, Me & Roboco, and Kinato’s Magic also appeared among Jump-family books punching above quieter mid-week windows.

Shoseki day-one ranks are not full-week Oricon sales—they’re early bookstore and distribution snapshots—but for a concluding volume they still matter. After more than a decade of Asta’s no-magic climb, Vol. 38’s immediate lead is the market’s first hard read on how loudly fans showed up to say goodbye in print, weeks after the series wrapped serialization in Jump GIGA.

With a new Black Clover anime season already locked for October 2026 and the final chapters still fresh, the chart result lands as both a victory lap and a soft launch for the next wave of interest. Full first-week numbers will tell the longer story; for opening day, the Clover Kingdom held the crown.
