Today's post is on Claymore volume 27: Silver-Eyed Warriors by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-seventh in the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first twenty-six volumes to understand the story. It is 191 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare and Teresa on it back to back with wings. 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- As rebel warrior Clare prepares to face former Claymore Priscilla in a climactic final battle, Clare is suddenly transformed by an unprecedented Yoma energy. Priscilla, whose brute and evil power once threatened to overwhelm Clare, is now matched against the reawakened spirit of another former Claymore elite- this one with strength beyond measure and the power of Clare within her!
Review- This volume ended the series in a good place with Clare seeing Teresa again and Priscilla finally defeated. The man in black is chased from the island and the Claymores are going to finish hunting down the remaining Yoma then just defend the island from outsiders. Clare's true awakened form is of the Twin Goddesses Clare and Teresa. The fight between them and Priscilla was good but not as amazing as some of the earlier fights in the series, like with Ophelia but it was very emotional satisfying. In general I have really liked and enjoyed this series. The characters were interesting, they grow over the course of the story, the art is solid over the whole series, and the fights were very intense with some being more than a little worrisome about the survival of the characters. I would recommend this series if you have not read it already. Solid Five out of Five series.
I give this volume Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
