This is my First time writing a Review for a manga so im gonna make it straight to the point. Claymore is an amazing piece of Art the manages to cover many story arks. There are many comparisons that could be made but nothing to stop it from being called Original.
Story:
The Story starts out with a Female Warrior (Claymore), just doing her job to defeat the arch enemy of Humanity. In the start we follow her through her daily life of doing her job and her interactions with those around her. The story then brakes off into 2. The story was kept fresh but true to its own origins are it pressed on into the later chapter and kept me wondering what was going to happen next as i delved into the next chapter anxious for more.
Art: The Art in Claymore is well done with using low levels of detail when necessary and extremely detailed at other times along with average levels of detail in between. The only flaw i have with the Art lies with character design as many of the Claymore's look very alike and were sometimes mistakenly of one or the other if you were paying full attention to detail. As there are many character with repeating appearances it can be forgiven for this however.
Character: The Characters in Claymore were well done in terms of individuality, each one had their own goals and reasoning behind what they do how how they go about doing them while also maintaining a connection with the rest of the cast.
Enjoyment: I highly enjoyed reading Claymore, much more than i expected as i bought it out of fear of it becoming unavailible in the near future. After ever volume i was eager to read the next and cursing my eyes for falling closed due to the lack of sleep.
Overall: Overall i would highly recommend this manga for anyone who enjoys any of these listed Genres: battle/fighting, horror, romance, monster, action, adventure. If you happen to see it in the store i highly recommend you get yourself a copy.
