My Hero Academia Creator Shows Love to Black Clover’s Noelle With Special Tribute

Black Clover has kicked off a huge new celebration for the manga’s 10th anniversary, and My Hero Academia’s creator has gotten in on the occasion with a special tribute to Noelle Silva. Black Clover has returned this Summer with the start of a massive celebration to help commemorate the original debut of Yuki Tabata’s original manga series within the pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Part of this celebration recruited many of Shonen Jump’s other prominent creators and artists, and each of them has shared their own take on Black Clover‘s many standout characters introduced over the years.

Shonen Jump mainstays like One Piece’s Eiichiro Oda, Naruto’s Masashi Kishimoto, and Bleach’s Tite Kubo have highlighted different aspects of Black Clover for their special tributes, and this trend continues with My Hero Academia series creator Kohei Horikoshi as well. Deciding to celebrate the series’ 10th anniversary with Noelle Silva, it’s apparent that My Hero Academia‘s creator has a great eye for Black Clover too. Check it out below as spotted by @WSJ_manga on X.

What’s Next for Black Clover?

Black Clover is currently working through the final arc of its run with Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine, and with it returns every few months with new chapters of the series. This new schedule for the final arc kicked off last year, and has since dropped some massive updates in the time since as Asta and the others fight for the fate of the Clover Kingdom. With three new chapters that just released this Summer, the wait has begun for its next major entry coming towards the end of the year with the Fall 2025 Jump GIGA issue. But that’s not all that’s in the works.
