Release date and time & where to read

Black Clover Chapter 343 is set to be released on Monday, November 7, 2022 at 12AM JST. This translates to a daytime release sometime on Sunday, November 6, 2022, for most international readers. Some international audiences will instead be able to purchase the issue on Monday, November 7, at or after 12AM local time, though exact times will vary depending on the region and time zone.

Fans can read the issue on either Shueisha’s MANGAPlus service, Viz Media’s official website, or Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app. The first two are free services that allow readers to access the first and most recent three issues of a series. Meanwhile, the latter is a paid, subscription-based service that provides readers with complete access to the series.

  • Pacific Standard Time: 7AM, Sunday, November 6

What to expect?

The battle between Asta and Ihcika will most likely begin in earnest in Black Clover Chapter 343. This has been a long-brewing feud, even though the straw that broke the camel's back was only mentioned in the most recent issue. Both are emotionally invested in the fight, arguing their point of view on Captain Yami.

Black Clover Chapter 343 will also likely see Asta grow in some meaningful way as a result of the fight. While Ichika hinted that Asta's life is in danger because he is now taking this fight seriously, fans are unlikely to see Asta killed. Though he may be pushed hard enough to unlock a new spell in his Grimoire.

Black Clover Chapter 343 could end in a variety of ways. While fans are unlikely to see a definitive conclusion to their fight in the upcoming issue, this could be due to the fight being stopped by Ryudo Ryuya or the fight lasting longer than the single issue. In any case, no definitive resolution to their conflict is likely in the near future.
