Today's post is on Claymore volume 10: The Battle of the North by Norihiro Yagi. It is the tenth the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first nine volumes to understand the story. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare with her sword drawn in a snowy scene. The intended reader is someone who likes dark plots, high action, and strong female characters. There is mild foul language, no sexuality, and lots of violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
Review- Clare and a group of Claymores are sent to the north to battle a group of Yoma that have banded together under the command of Isley, a powerful Awakened Being. When the warriors arrive, they find their new enemies to be unusually dangerous. They are incredibly strong, well organized, and seem to have a plan to dominate the entire region. Will the Claymores be able to stop this monstrous army?
Review- The volume starts with the action getting started and Yoma attack the city before anyone can truly prepare anyway. The Claymores do hold the Yoma back with no losses but we get some character development from the new Claymores. Clare does get outed as more powerful than her number but the leader does not push the matter. We do see Raki in this volume and he with the bad guys, unknowingly. Priscilla is heading towards Clare but something has changed in Priscilla, she is just a child again and she does not speak much. But the volume ends with twenty-four Yoma heading towards them and another big battle for the next volume.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
