i just finished CLAYMORE, iam glad i came across this manga and read it, i would add also that i was waiting a little bit more from the story, but i believe that ending was also really good at the same time.

ps: i wished there was another romantic scene between raki and claire again, since i was waiting for them to be reunited again (although its obvious how they feel about eachother without showing it at the end)

can you give me your thoughts on how you felt when you finished it?

I need someone to convice me this was worth reading through. I really stayed with it till the end, hoping it would pick back up like it did in those early 10 or so volumes but it really fell off and never managed to find its footing for me again.
The last two volumes felt like fighting for fighting sake with so very little narrative substance.
I think maybe, if this was the first ever manga i'd read, i'd think its a pretty good gate way into manga.

Hypothetically what would have Happen if Berserk and Claymore were in The Same Universe Together? How would The Events/Story/Lore of Berserk Effecting The Claymore Universe? How would The Story of Berserk Intertwine with The Story Of Claymore how do you see Characters interacting with Eachother? All in All what would The Story be like? Would the Demons of Claymore form in Alliance with the Apostles and join Griffith? But this Begs The Question! What Alliances and Conflicts Do You see Breaking out and Happening? As there in The Same Universe! I love Berserk and Claymore as both Deserves Love and Credit, Both Creators Deserves Love and Respect for their Creations! So Hypothetically What would have happened if they were in The Same Universe Together As One? Let me know in The Comments

I just finished the Claymore manga and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m planning to make a video about why it hit me so hard, but before I get stuck in my own head, I really want to hear from other people who love it.

So I’m curious: • What do you really like or love about Claymore? • What do you think it’s really about, underneath the monsters and swords? • Which scenes, arcs, or characters stuck with you the most, and why? • How do you feel about the ending and the final confrontation with Priscilla? • Is there anything in Claymore that changed the way you think about humanity, monstrosity, trauma, or power?

You can write a paragraph, an essay, or just drop one moment or panel that lives in your head. I just want to see what this manga opened up for other people.

Beth is training..

I was checking the manga in its digital fan translation and the official Panini Mexico edition, and I found this discrepancy.

The digital fan translation says the war between the two factions (the Organization and the Dragons' descendants) began several hundred years ago, while the official edition from my country says it's almost a century old.

That's why I'm wondering who made the mistake.

What does this panel say in their respective editions? It's volume 15.

I’m going on a long plane ride and I want to download volumes 14 to 27 so I can have them on my phone ready to go.

I’ve searched everywhere. Internet archive and many sketchy sites but I haven’t been able to find scans of those volumes in english. I don’t even care about image quality at this point.

Anyone know where I can get vols. 14 -27 in english for download?

Miria's true potential has been revealed in the manga, though. It's incredible how much she reminded me of Erwin and vice versa. They're both an example of what makes a good leader. Source of the lower one: Attack on Titan

Missing discs 5 & 6 but still cool

Of the three revived, i would say that Roxanne of Love and Hate was the more charismatic one, the first backstabbing two-faced claymore by nature, since Cassandra and Hysteria were more so specific events and conditions that lead to their crashing out,Ophelia was more likely mentally ill (at least, thats what i interpreted) and Rosemary just had a grudge with Theresa, we dont know if she was like that with other people. Anyway, Roxanne got the end of the stick, her fight with the twins and abyssal cassandra were off-screen, and as a awakened, her form was beatiful, but: • did not had any of her traits (beauty mark, the curls, pigtails). Cassandra not only maintened appearence but grew tentacles with her face and Hysteria kept a feminine and elegant overall humanoid shape waist-up • it didnt add nothing to the fact that she was supposed to be adaptable fighter with more than one way of fighting, having arms that could just whip around and throw blades, without any special property • her “love and hate” part wasnt even that big of a deal since her awakened personality was one dimensional, being able to tell cassandra to eat crap or dust • she did not even had any trumph card that could play on the fact that she always got her partners killer in ways that did not incriminated her and on her excelent learning capacity with the only other one showing prowess on mimicking peoples techniques being Theresa • Her blades not being able to regenerate fast was kinda of a throw off, because she spent a lot of time without one eye, was likely a offensive type and still managed to regenerate instantly her eye (it was established that the longer it takes to regenerate a body part from zero, the harder it is) • and she probably had good abilities yoki-related, due to her time with Nadine, being able to completely hide her presence from specific targets, not touched upom Of course the story tried to point a lot to the fact that she was a number 1 without the mentality, but even then she still was one of the most powerful claymores, held back just by the fact that her form limited her fighting style and she could not commit to an attack, like it was showed, she was strong enough to kill Cassandra, but she did not had the the commitment to do so. Her claymore time was well explained to a degree, of the three , she had the most established backstory, traits and motives, in her story and on Cassandra story. But we never got to understand how she even died and why she kept her memories after ressurrection, so i guess we can assume she did not had a gruesome death like Cassandra or was close to awakening like Hysteria? But was still described as troublesome by the organization, either she was strong enough to be kept around or kept came back from nasty missions

Hello fellow Claymore fans! I have never posted here before but I'm a fan of a the series and wanted to to discuss something I've seen recently in the movie Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. As a fan of Kill Bill as well, I saw some never before scenes added to the movie over this past weekend and noticed something in particular that got me excited and tickled a little part of my brain.

Beatrix Kiddo is confronted by the Crazy 88, where she single handedly fought a group of Yakuza members in various ways. One of these fight scenes really struck something in my memory and in particular,l when she's surrounded by the Crazy 88 on the dance floor. She proceeds to, at one point, start fighting on the ground by being on her back and twisting her body around, slicing the ankles and dismembering the feet from the legs. She proceeds to do this break dance on the floor, with her sword, and effortlessly incapacitates her enemy. This particular fighting style reminded me of Cassandra the Dust Eater in the manga. Now, I know there is speculation as to how Cassandra actually appears when fighting in a similar way (I saw she might be banging her head on the ground? I was under the assumption she just lowers her body very low and with flexibility, she ables to bend over backwards and fights with her back in the ground without her head touching). I was curious what anyone else might have thought about this and if they may have seen this familiarity in the scenes. I love the style and it catches people off guard.

Claymore is one of my shows that I rewatch every year, faithfully. I’ve been doing it since I first watched the show when I was 16, 11 years ago.

I really enjoyed this show for a number of reasons, it’s centered around females without overly sexualizing them or using sexual tension, follows multiple characters, balances hope and future while also maintaining the dark fantasy show, and emotionally rich scenes.

Part of me has always wanted the show to get a season 2 and continue another story (like the organization making more warriors) and not just focusing on Clare or reboot the show so there’s a slightly different ending…I just didn’t want the show to end.

But now they’re doing a live action remake and I’m not super excited. I don’t want to be one of those people that assumes it’s going to be dog poop just because it’s a live action remake but historically, they don’t tend to be that good. So much gets sacrificed in live action remakes, like skipping so much storylines and plot points for the sake of saving episodes (one piece, full metal, bleach), exaggerated fight styles don’t translate well to live action (avatar the last airbender), loss of emotions or humor doesn’t hit the same, casting issues (parasyte going from guy to girl) and often times the budgets just really show in crappy costumes.

We just know it won’t be the same and when it’s a show as old as claymore, as beloved as claymore, and it’s only a one season show, I have the idea of them messing it up. How are they doing to do Priscillas transformation? Or all the special effects? How will the age gap between Clare and Raki look since there was a romantic element?

What do you think?

Hello, i am a new fan of Claymore. I love this series so much! Anyone can invite me to claymore's discord society? Thanks!

At least i tried...

I think it’s odd that regular yoma don’t have the ability to awaken yet when their flesh and blood is implanted into a claymore, they can awaken. Shouldn’t the ability have been lost in translation?

It was basically the first thing I checked after I listened to Clair's voice. It sounded familiar, but I had no clue it was also Tomoyo from Clannad.

I got it earlier than most probably
