Today's post is on Claymore volume 21: Remains of the Dead Claws by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-first the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first twenty volumes to understand the story. It is 191 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover is a close-up of Miria. 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- A battle begins between rebel Claymore warriors and the Organization that created them. When the team of seven notorious rebel fighters is joined by an army of newly minted soldiers loyal to rebel leader Miria, it seems their victory is a foregone conclusion. Then the Organization releases its newest secret weapon: reanimated high-level warriors from past generations of Claymores.
Review- This whole volume is about the fight between the Claymores and the Organization. We see lots of fighting with little character development until we get some new characters but that is fine. The new characters are the things that the Organization has been working on, old powerful Claymores that they have resurrected to fight for them. We get to see a lot of about them from their lives before and what happened to them when they turned but before they could awaken. Raki is protecting the young Claymores from the normal soldiers of the Organizations but other than seeing him we get no new plot. And we see nothing of Claire in this volume. I liked seeing more of what the Organization is doing and what they are planning but there is still so much more to see. The volume ends with one of the resurrected Claymores remembering why she died and it looks like she is going to finish awakening.
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.
