Where to read Black Clover chapter 369?

The Black Clover manga by Yuki Tabata can be read on VIZ Media's website, the Shonen Jump mobile app, and Shueisha's MANGA Plus website.
Readers have the opportunity to read the first three and latest three chapters of the manga from all three sources as often as they like. It's important to note that the latest three chapters are updated with each new release.
On the other hand, MANGA Plus' mobile app operates in a slightly different manner. It permits readers to access all the chapters of a manga series, but only the first and last three chapters can be read multiple times. The other chapters are only available for a single read.

Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Black Clover, I am thrilled about the upcoming release of chapter 369. The wait has been excruciating, but I know it will be worth it. The previous chapter left us with an epic cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how Asta and the Black Bulls will fare against Lucius Zogratis. I have a feeling that this chapter will be a game-changer, and I'm excited to see what surprises Tabata has in store for us.
I'm also curious to see how the other battles will play out. Noelle vs. Acier, Mereoleona vs. Morris, and Nacht and Ichika vs. Morgen are all highly anticipated matchups, and I can't wait to see who comes out on top. I have a feeling that Tabata is going to pull out all the stops for this chapter, and I can't wait to experience it firsthand.
