Today's post is on Claymore volume 25: Sword of the Dark Deep by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-fifth in the long running Claymore series, You need to have read the first twenty-four volumes to understand the story. It is 191 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clarice and Galatea on it looking into the distance. The intended reader is someone who likes dark plots, high action, and strong female characters. There is mild foul language, no sexuality, nudity, 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- Three battles unfold around the holy city of Rabona as demonic forces seek to destroy one another, the rebel Claymores and the city itself. Seemingly intent on devouring all life, monsters of unprecedented strength rage on as the rebels struggle to contain them. Could the cause of this rage lie in a distant childhood memory?
Review- Everything is coming to close and we are starting to get answers about Awakening beings and Priscilla. No Clare in this volume but lots of fighting with the Awakening beings heading into the city to eat the people and the Claymores are all that can stop it. The child Miata is the last line of defense to stop it but the price is very high. But we learn something very interesting about Priscilla that explains why Clare was not killed when Priscilla awakened, it seems that Priscilla cannot see young girls like she was when the Yoma killed her family. It was her human mind's last act, to hide young girls from her sight in an effort to protect to herself from the horror that she has become. With only two volume left I am very curious about how everything is going to be wrapped up.
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.
