Today's post is on Claymore volume 12: Souls of the Fallen by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twelfth the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first eleven volumes to understand the story. It is 189 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare standing in a winter landscape surrounded by the graves of other Claymores. 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- Seven years have passed since the devastating battle in Pieta, and now a new generation of warriors carries on the fight against the Awakened Ones. However, the mystery of Clare's fate, and that of her comrades, resurfaces after a surprising discovery made by a young Claymore.
Review- We get a time skip in this volume jumping seven years. Clare and seven other Claymores have been hiding and training in the far north. The Organization believes them to be dead and Isley has moved from the north to somewhere south. A small band of Claymores has been send north as a hunting party and they almost die but Clare and company save them. The Organization has rebuilt with new Claymores and they are starting to push against the Awakened Ones hard. But Clare is tired of waiting in the north. So she is going south to hunt for Raki and Priscilla but that means she might be discovered still alive by the Organization. I am about half way down this series and I am looking forward to seeing where Clare is going to end up and how she is going to bring Priscilla down.
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.
