Claymore

Claymore

A manga about half demon female warriors who wield Claymore swords with superhuman strength to hunt down evil demons.

Both Darfox8 and I are huge fans of this series. Norihiro Yagi‘s monster designs are really elegant and his fight scenes are excellent. My only complaint about the series is that all the Claymore warriors have emotionless expressions and similar faces so it’s almost impossible to tell them apart aside from their hairstyle.

An exciting shonen battle manga. It’s available from VIZ and I recommend it.
