Fearing that she's no match for the deadly Claymore named Ophelia, Clare spirits her companion Raki away to relative safety.

Review
Claymore
is a manga about Yoma who pretend to be human in order to kill and eat the
humans. The Claymore are the hybrid of the two stronger faster but still human
with the ability to slay the Yoma which they do for a price. They travel from
village to village slaying Yoma with nothing but the sword on their back using
the Yoma abilities but slowly turning into a monster that they hunt. When the
time comes a Claymore will send a black card to another claymore to be slain
before the Yoma takes over and so they die as a human.
In the seventh
installment Clare has been forced to flee the fight with the awakened single
digit because of Ophelia a deadly claymore. Ophelia has no issues breaking the
rules and killing humans or fellow claymores. Fleeing into the woods Clare
decides that they need to split up if they are going to survive Ophelia’s rage.
After another battle with Ophelia when things look bleak a stranger shows up to
save Clare a match for Ophelia with her quick sword. How will Clare deal with
the loss of her sword arm? What happened to Ophelia?
I like
Clare she’s a sword carrying slayer who isn’t afraid to die charging in risking
her life. She may not survive every encounter but that doesn’t stop her from
doing what has to be done protecting the humans. While most Claymore’s
wouldn’t allow Raki to tag along she accepts him and maybe it’s partly because
they are kindred but he needs her and she him to keep her humanity. I find
Clare to be an intriguing character and can’t wait to see more about her back
story as well as what’s going to happen next. We are given a little back story
on Clare which introduces us to Teresa a Claymore whose life was changed by
Clare.
I’ve seen
all of the episodes on Netflix a few years ago actually binge watched them over
a long weekend. I love the concept for the Claymore the hybrids created using
parts from the monsters that they have been created to fight. While I am
familiar with the story it’s interesting to see it play out as I read it. The
art is great it gives me just enough to create the story in my head as I read
each detailed page. This is only my 2nd manga so I don’t have a
lot to go on but so far I’m super exited to read the series. Claymore is a fast
paced loaded with action series that is captivating right from the start hard
to put down till the last page. Can’t wait to start the next one in the series
they just keep getting better. I feel like a voracious Reader because I can’t
get enough.
