The manga is available on VIZ Media and Manga Plus in English.

- Gakuto Kajiwara as Asta
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Yuno
- Junichi Suwabe as Yami Sukehiro

Here’s an overview of the manga series, via VIZ Media:
Asta is a young boy who dreams of becoming the greatest mage in the kingdom. Only one problem—he can’t use any magic! Luckily for Asta, he receives the incredibly rare five-leaf clover grimoire that gives him the power of anti-magic. Can someone who can’t use magic really become the Wizard King? One thing’s for sure—Asta will never give up!
