Today's post is on Claymore volume 11: Kindred of Paradise by Norihiro Yagi. It is the eleventh the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first ten volumes to understand the story. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare and Rigalo on it facing off. 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.
From the back of the book- In the northern town of Pieta, Clare and a force of Claymores battle a troupe of Awakened Ones to prevent them from advancing south. Their orders are to hold off the evil horde at all costs, while the Organization prepares a secret weapon. Clare and her comrades realize that theirs is a suicide mission. As their friends fall one by one, the warriors band together to make their last stand.
Review- We pick up right where we left with Rigalo trying to kill the leaders of the Claymore band. Lots of fighting in this volume but then we have moments with Raki and the Awakened Beings who are caring for him. Raki has no idea about who they are but he does know that there is something odd about Priscilla. The fight with Rigalo almost drives Clare past her limits but Jean brings her back at a high cost. The volume ends in a cliffhanger with Isley sais that all the lights, the Claymores, have gone out. But the Organization planned for that and have made a very powerful Claymore that is only to kill Awakened Beings and she does. This is a very good volume and I am very curious about where the story is going to go now.
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.
