Black Clover Returns With A New Season After 4 Years
The series follows Asta, who finds himself in a life-altering moment when he is gifted a mysterious black grimoire.
A brand new season of Black Clover is here. After nearly a four-year wait, the makers have announced the return of the much-awaited manga. During Crunchyroll's industry panel at Anime Expo 2025, they unveiled a teaser of Black Clover season 2, which picks up where the previous season left
It will exclusively premiere on Crunchyroll. Studio Pierrot, the Japanese anime studio behind famous series like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, will continue its adaptation of the Shonen Jump manga. Based on the manga written by Yuki Tabata, the anime debuted in 2015 and concluded with a finale in 2021.
The fantasy series is set in a world where everyone is born with magic powers. The series follows Asta, a young orphan boy with no magical powers, who finds himself in a life-altering moment when he is gifted a mysterious black grimoire that grants him the power to use anti-magic abilities. With these newfound powers, Asta leaves his home and travels to the Clover Kingdom, where he joins the Black Bulls guild to train his powers.
Speaking about the new season, Yuki Tabata, the writer and artist of this widely popular manga, said, 'The production of the long-awaited new anime season of Black Clover has been confirmed! I'm beyond ecstatic going into the new anime season after the super-passionate movie that came out! (Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King)".
He further thanked all the fans and anime lovers for appreciating his work. 'Thanks to all of you, Black Clover is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! I definitely plan to keep this hype going! I want fans from Japan and all around the world to enjoy the powered-up anime that's going to be brought to you by the most awesome anime production staff! Thank you so much for supporting Black Clover!"
While Crunchyroll remains tight-lipped about the plot of this upcoming season, it is expected to adapt the next major arc from the manga. In the newly launched visuals, Asta is looking more powerful than ever, heightening the anticipation among the fans. Black Clover Season 2 has not confirmed any official release dates yet.

Artist Kaveri Bharath's art show connects ceramics,colours, and memories in Chennai
Artist Kaveri Bharath's ongoing exhibition, Fifty-50, in collaboration with the Alliance Française of Madras, is an ode to her journey as an artist and a ceramicist. 'Inspired by my grandfather's sculpting, I always played in mud and clay as a kid. The last 30 years of making, teaching, and thinking through clay is represented in the ceramics on display here,' says Kaveri. Born in Chennai, Kaveri grew up in a very non-traditional family that encouraged her love for creating with her hands. 'For my parents, education was very important, but not necessarily school education. The emphasis was not to go out and earn a lot of money.' While still in school, she and four other students, convinced their principal to offer art as a main subject in high school and find them a good art teacher. 'One day, he saw that we were sitting under trees, taking turns to teach ourselves to sketch. He quickly got us a teacher who turned out to be a big blessing.' Creating with clay Ever since, she has taken an unconventional path, working in theatre and apprenticing under artists, till she found her calling in clay work in 1995. She started learning the basics of clay work from artist and her now husband, Hans Kaushik, in Madras, and then Padma Rajagopal from Studio Alpha, in Yelwal, near Mysore. She went on to join a full-time course at Golden Bridge Pottery in Pondicherry, (GBP), under clay artists Ray Meeker and Deborah Smith after which she began assisting. A notable milestone was her six-week visit to Japan earlier this year, which inspired a lot of her recent pieces, fired in a Japanese anagama kiln. Some pieces at the exhibit feature unglazed forms typical of Bizen, a Japanese pottery town known for its rustic, unglazed surfaces; and others use clays like those from Shigaraki, which contain chunks of feldspar, that emerge during firing. The interaction of the fire and natural clay, creating effects like the wood ash falling and melting onto the clay, is a key inspiration. There are watercolour pieces and sketches, something that she took up during the pandemic, when a fellow artist, AV Dhanushkodi, encouraged her to try her hand at the medium. 'During that one year of guidance from him every week, I found out how I had also forgotten how much I love to sketch in school. So, I got back to it and I started doing these faces, which you can also see in this exhibition.' Visitors can also find quilted frames, inspired by her grandmother's quilting. 'In 2000, when I was restricted from working in my studio due to health concerns after a miscarriage, I learnt to quilt with my grandmother and channelled into the fabric, my creative energy. These pieces are a 'thank you' to that phase,' says Kaveri. Inaugurating the exhibition on her 5Oth birthday and the titular significance of it, 'Fifty seemed like a significant milestone and cause to celebrate. Every aspect of this show is significant to my life and work.' Fifty-50 is currently on at Alliance Française of Madras till August 22. (Closed on August 15 and 16) from 10.30am to 6.30 pm.

J-pop idol Kenshin Kamimura found guilty of indecent assault in Hong Kong
Judge finds Kenshin Kamimura guilty of indecent assault Court imposes HK$15,000 fine after defence argues for financial penalty Kamimura had pleaded not guilty, and did not testify in court Victim said Kamimura repeatedly touched her thigh, asked her to go to toilet with him HONG KONG, August 13 (Reuters) - J-pop star Kenshin Kamimura was found guilty by a Hong Kong court on Wednesday of the indecent assault in March of a woman who served as his interpreter during a fan event. Kamimura, 26, was previously a member of the six-member boy group One N' Only. He pleaded not guilty in April and chose not to testify during the trial in July. Magistrate Peter Yu said that Kamimura's behaviour showed obvious disrespect towards women, noting that his touches suggested a sexual undertone. "Such behaviour should be condemned," Yu said, fining him HK$15,000 ($1,923) after his lawyer in mitigation urged a financial penalty rather than jail. On hearing the sentence, Kamimura hugged his court translator, while a handful of fans wept in the public gallery. Dozens more waited outside after the hearing ended as Kamimura left court without saying anything. The victim, identified only as X, testified in July that Kamimura and actor Junsei Motojima hired her as an interpreter to translate during a fan meeting in Hong Kong on March 1. The group then attended a celebratory dinner at a restaurant in the city's Mong Kok district. She told the court Kamimura moved to sit beside her during a toasting session and started repeatedly brushing and patting her thigh before suggesting they visit the bathroom together. He asked both in Chinese and Japanese if she knew what he meant, she added. X said she declined, telling him, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself." She said she then moved away to get some tea, but Kamimura blocked her path and again asked her to go outside. She told the court she refused. After X returned to her seat, Kamimura also came back and sat beside her. He apologised and said, "Forget what just happened," she recalled in her testimony. The singer also asked her about her relationship status and whether she planned to marry her boyfriend, she said. Kamimura then brushed her inner thigh again with the back of his right hand, X told the court. She shrank away, but he repeated the action about two to three times. Kamimura's lawyer said in mitigation that his client did not intend to coerce or threaten and that alcohol might have affected his judgment. The magistrate said that Kamimura had paid a huge price for the incident, saying he was immediately fired by his company and forced to leave the band.

Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura convicted of indecent assault but avoids jail in Hong Kong
HONG KONG — Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura was found guilty of a charge of indecent assault on a female interpreter in a Hong Kong court Wednesday before some emotional fans. Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura convicted of indecent assault but avoids jail in Hong Kong Kamimura, a former member of a Japanese boy group named ONE N' ONLY, was arrested in the southern Chinese city in March. In the same month, his contract was terminated due to a serious compliance violation. In April, he pleaded not guilty. He allegedly touched the interpreter's thigh repeatedly during a celebratory dinner at a restaurant. During the trial last month, the interpreter testified through a live video link that Kamimura had invited her to a bathroom elsewhere. After she dismissed the request and told him she had a boyfriend, Kamimura continued to touch her thigh, she said. The defense argued the interpreter exaggerated her claims and the alleged bathroom invitation might not have been based on improper motives. Judge Peter Yu handed down the conviction Wednesday, saying Kamimura touched the intrepreter in a caressing nature that implicitly carried a sexual undertone and had indecent intent. After the verdict was announced, a few of Kamimura's fans wept in the courtroom. But Kamimura looked relieved when the judge issued a fine of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars and no prison term. The maximum penalty for the charge is 10 years of imprisonment. The singer's supporters, including some from Japan and mainland China, formed long lines inside the court building to secure a seat in the main courtroom before the hearing. Others from mainland China who attended said they were not fans but wanted to learn more about the case, especially after seeing criticism of the female interpreter online. University student Betty Zhong from the Chinese city of Shenzhen said she was not a Kamimura fan but had attending the court hearings in Hong Kong because a friend likes the J-pop idol and she wanted to know what happened. She said she was surprised Kamimura was charged during a visit to Hong Kong. 'News reports are not so comprehensive. When I come here, I can understand it holistically and the explainations from both sides,' she said. Kamimura also is an actor who appeared in several TV dramas including the boys' love series 'Our Youth' and the popular drama 'Ossan's Love Returns.'
