Black Clover in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jun 7, 2016 from Viz Media. In the 10.2 years since, 37 volumes have come out — one about every 3 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 8 months. Our predicted dates follow this slower pace. The longest wait was 1.6 years, between Vol. 36 and Vol. 37.

Japan is at Vol. 38 (Aug 4, 2026), so 1 volume is already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing it would take about 8 months.
