5 Manga Series That Closely Resemble Black Clover

Black Clover, created by Yuki Tabata, has revolutionized the fantasy manga genre. It tells the inspiring tale of a young boy with a lofty dream of becoming the Wizard King, despite lacking magical abilities—what’s not to appreciate?

Asta’s remarkable journey to achieve his dream without any magic has sparked inspiration for numerous other works, some of which draw striking parallels to Black Clover.

5. Ichi the Witch

The manga *Ichi the Witch* features a world where witches are tasked with hunting for magic! Enter Ichi, a young boy who, though merely a hunter, possesses the potential to turn the magical world upside down, much like Asta did without any magic.

4. Wistoria: Wand and Sword

In *Wistoria: Wand and Sword*, the protagonist Will Serfort struggles to cast spells in a world dominated by magic. While his peers may underestimate him, Will wields a powerful secret weapon: his sword. Journey with him in this thrilling sword-and-sorcery adventure as he seeks to prove that strength can overcome magic!

Much like Asta, who utilizes weapons to counteract magic and employs sheer strength to confront his adversaries, the manga seems to echo themes from Black Clover, albeit with its own unique character dynamics.

3. Mashle

Introducing *Mashle*, the story of a boy born into a realm filled with magicians, yet devoid of magic himself. His extraordinary strength and determination to shift the balance of power will leave a lasting impact on this magical world. Witness Mash’s journey as he aims to become the strongest, despite lacking magic.

2. Muscles are Better Than Magic!

This manga draws inspiration from both *Black Clover* and *One Punch Man*. While it doesn’t completely parody the genre, it features a protagonist who trains rigorously in a harsh environment (and thankfully, isn’t bald!). Just like Asta, these characters prioritize physical strength to withstand magical attacks.

1. My Hero Academia

Izuku Midoriya, a middle school student, harbors a deep desire to become a hero, yet he possesses no powers. Much like Asta from *Black Clover*, he finds himself utterly talentless.

With little hope of entering the prestigious U.A. High School for aspiring heroes, his life seems to be at a standstill until a surprising encounter with All Might, the legendary hero, offers him a chance to transform his fate.
