Today's post is on Claymore volume 26: A Blade From Far Away by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-sixth in the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first twenty-five volumes to understand the story. It is 191 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clarice and Priscilla facing off on it. 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- Former Claymores Cassandra and Priscilla appear to be headed toward an epic conflict, as the warriors protecting the Holy City of Rabona attempt to orchestrate a battle between these two savage elements in order to avert complete annihilation. However, when Clare and Raki step in, the Awakened Ones' fury is redirected towards them!
Review- We get to see more of Raki's training and what advice Isley gave him for defeating Priscilla, that he would have to survive a killing blow to make her forget about him then with Clare he would have one strike. Most of the volume is fighting with little other plot going on in it. We get to see that Priscilla will do anything to survive, we see the end of the engineer by Priscilla's hand, and we get a hint about how Clare is going to stop her somehow using or resurrecting Teresa inside her. But with only one volume left Yagi has a lot to finish.
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.
