Black Clover creator next in line for Dragon Ball's special project

Black Clover’s manga artist, Yuki Tabata will be partaking in the ongoing Dragon Ball project known as Dragon Ball Super Gallery. The manga artist will be altering the design for the cover page of the manga, which will be featured in the 7th issue of Saikyo Jump. While the release date hasn't been specified, the 7th issue will most likely arrive on June 3, 2023, meaning fans can expect to see Yuki Tabata’s version of the Dragon Ball manga cover in the upcoming month.

This ongoing project is set to conclude sometime in November 2024. Plenty of mangakas have taken part in redesigning the manga cover pages so far. Some of these artists are Yusei Matsui (Assassination Classroom), Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko), Hirutoshi Shibashi (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan), and more.

Let us take a look at the details of this ongoing project as well as some of the redesigned works put forth by the respective mangakas.

More about Dragon Ball Super Gallery: An event that Black Clover’s Yuki Tabata will partake in

The Super Gallery commemorates the 40th anniversary of the series, involving some of the most prominent mangakas participating in this collaboration. There are 42 volumes, and their covers will be redesigned in the respective mangaka’s art style. These redesigned covers will be making an appearance on Saikyo Jump, a magazine published by Shueisha on a monthly basis.

The magazine mostly focuses on spin-off titles and promotes numerous video games across various issues.

Apart from the Black Clover mangaka's upcoming cover, here are some of the redesigned manga covers that have been released on Saikyo Jump since the commencement of Dragon Ball Super Gallery:

1) Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

This particular manga cover was designed by the author of Toriko and BUILD KING. Toriko is one of those criminally underrated mangas that has great pacing and fun characters.

Its art style is quite pleasing to the eye, something that has been recreated for the Super Gallery cover.

2) Yusei Matsui

Yusei Matsui is the mangaka responsible for the creation of Assassination Classroom. This was a delightful crossover as we can see Piccolo with Koro sensei's facial features.

3) Tatsuya Endo

The creator of Spy X Family was also part of this collaboration. He recreated the cover of the 15th volume in his art style.

4) Koyoharu Gotouge

The creator of Demon Slayer, arguably the hottest anime this year, has also taken part in this collaboration. The mangaka redesigned the 32nd volume of the series.

5) Tite Kubo

The Bleach mangaka redesigned the 27th volume of the series which featured an illustration of Goku, Frieza, and Piccolo in his unique art style.

Now, the Black Clover fanbase is incredibly excited to see their favorite mangaka recreate a volume cover in his art style. The upcoming issue of Saikyo Jump will feature this artwork. Fans can expect to see the redesigned cover on June 3, 2023.
