Claymore volume 20: Remains of the Dead Claws


13259362

Today's post is on Claymore volume 20: Remains of the Dead Claws by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first nineteen volumes to understand the story. It is 191 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has some of our heroes surrounded by awakened beings. 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- Rebel Claymores Deneve, Helen, and Yuma return to the Holy City of Rabona and find it under attack by Yoma hordes. An all-out battle ensues, after which Galatea informs the recently returned Claymores about Miria's solitary and likely doomed quest to bring down the Organization. As Helen and Deneve investigate in separate assays, it becomes clear that the Organization is creating novel and terrifying breeds of Yoma warriors.

Review- Clare is gone, she and what was left of Priscilla are sealed up together and we do not see anything of them in this volume. Most of the volume is about the others fighting in Rabona from an attack of many yoma and awakening beings. The Organization has decided to move against the city and the Claymores hiding there.  Miria's fate is left in the balance until the end of the volume and we see that the Claymores still working for the Organization did not kill her. All the Claymores are in rebellion to the Organization now because they have done too much and pushed too far.  It has been proven that the Organization is making the yoma and releasing them onto the countryside to kill innocent people. Everything is winding down to end game and I am very curious about what is going on the sphere that has both Clare and Priscilla.

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
