Today's post is on Claymore volume 24: Army of the Underworld by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-four the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first twenty-three volumes to understand the story. It is 193 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare cutting through a Yoma on it looking cool. 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- Priscilla, whose monstrous savagery was reawakened in the previous battle, is bent on absorbing the power of those who feel in her wake and destroying the rebel Claymores. Raki and several former top warriors band together with a defensive plan, but even their skills may be no match against Priscilla's poisoned wrath. Meanwhile, the terrifying Yoma-based creature coalescing outside of the Holy City of Rabona may seek to defeat Priscilla... but it may also be seeking to defeat the rebel warriors!
Review- We get to see how powerful Priscilla's true form is as she destroys four out of the seven powerful Awakened Ones that were watching her fight and absorb her power back from the resurrected warriors. The Claymores and Awakened Ones are going to try and work together to stop Priscilla but it is an uneasy alliance. Add in Clare's over-powering rage at being so close to Priscilla and everyone has their hands full. As this series is winding down, we are getting less character growth and longer action scenes as this is an action manga; not a complaint more of a comment. The volume ends with a powerful, almost abyssally powerful, Awakened One joining the fight. Only three volumes left to bring it all together.
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.
