t has been announced in the current (10/2014) issue of Jump SQ magazine. Chapter 155 will be the last - with coloured page at that (to celebrate the ending I guess).

Personally I'm glad. This manga has jumped a shark a long time ago (ever since the 7 year timeskip I would say). And the moment Miria was given a bigger role the story turned to shit which was especially visible when she was resurrected or when she fought Hysteria.

Thanks j0x :). Can't say I regret scanlating this manga (I've started with chapter 95 and later re-did some of the older ones) though, that's how much I love first 13 volumes. But to be honest there are only a handful of titles that do not turn to shit with time and even less that do not jump the shark (FMA, GTO, Hikaru no Go, Dorohedoro, Desert Punk + some other seinen titles being one of the few examples).

For example, I really enjoyed reading Kingdom for the first 200 chapters but now it's just another super long manga. Gintama and Detective Conan on the other hand belong to a different category - there are some weak chapters but there are still some superb ones and overall I really enjoy reading them.

You guys were fast. It's been on twitter only 5 minutes.

I'm glad it's coming to an end. The manga wasn't quite the same after "Abbysal" ones started to proliferate. It's still a darn good read though and I hope yagi gives it a good end.

MEH Claymore has been below average for the last 50-60 chapters.

There's still a lot of question that needs to be answered right? How could it end in two more chapters?

What about the place that created the claymore? Or the swords they use? Didn't they say the base is in another continent? If that's the case I guess I'll have to bump the score down a bit then if they wont explain certain things.

It was to be expected, I guess. Although I wanted to see an arc about the other land, the Dragon's Kin and the rest, but I guess the author doesn't cares anymore. Claymore isn't as good as it used to be.

Exactly like the stuff about the other continent and how they made the swords. It seems like the mangaka is rushing the ending. I'll probably have to drop the score.

I just read this news on Mangahere. I am so glad that Claymore is ending. It long overstayed its welcome. I guess it's been about 5+ years since the series was any good. I am truly unable to recall the last time I looked forward to a Claymore chapter. Good riddance.

I agree this last battle has been way too long but i loved the whole thing. I liked it after the 7 years skip with the battle against Agatha, all the new claymores, all the riful/riful 2.0. I enjoyed this manga from start to finish. Hoping for a spin-off mainland arc or at least a prequel that explains the world completely.

I refuse to allow this amazing manga to end. Hopefully it is only the grand finale for the Priscilla arc and that they'll continue the manga later. Claymore is my LIFE.

Honestly the people who are saying "good riddance" aren't true Claymore fans and aren't interested in the plot and the mainland and the dragon-kin and where everything started. Y'all are horrible people.

There's nothing to rule out that Yagi might not make a sequel/spinoff later. I think that right now is just a good point to end the story with the Priscilla/Teresa and Raki/Clare stories coming to a natural conclusion in short time. I love Claymore, but all good things must come to an end.
