Claymore, Vol. 5: The Slashers

Love the Claymore series. This came fast

Finally beginning to detail the origins of Clare and the love of her life, Theresa, this is an unmissable volume. Learn the details of what drives Clare to continue to face down insurmountable odds, even though she has always been considered weak and pathetic. Learn of the most heroic of all Claymores, cut down far to soon, and for reasons that make you begin to doubt the benevolence of the Organization. In other words, if you haven't already, order this volume, It will definitely lead you to purchase the next... and the next... Heck, why resist, just select all of them!

The end of the Theresa arc and the beginning of the hints that both the mythology and the corporation are more mysterious than has been let on. The addition of "awakened beings" gives so real diversity to the monsters as Yoma were much more one note. The art remains clear and clean lined, although sometimes the characters are only differentiated by small details and can be a little confusing in battle scenes although the character design is consistent.

It’s something that I feel like I mostly see effectively done in denser fantasy stories: the shocking sudden death. That kind of “wtf” just happened death and you go back and re read to make sure you read it right. In this case it’s not even so much that you don’t see the death coming but the way it’s executed is just heartbreaking.

This arc onwards is when it starts building up to the true story. After this volume is when you really start getting to it.

after the previous chapter this where the main plot of the story kicks in and takes of to new heights , im soo loving reading the manga an i can assure you it gets better from here on out .

I enjoy this manga. It was worn a little but arrived in good condition and I enjoyed reading it once I first opened it up.

It was a gift and she loved it!
