[Manga] Claymore: Manga Thread

Well, last I heard the anime's only going up to episode 26. While I don't know how accurate that is, I can see that happening, considering the pace it's moving at. But yeah, the manga takes forever for new ones to show up. I did, however, find a site with a chapter 73 preview. Lost the link, though.

I'm surprised there's folks who've been following the manga, as most Claymore discussion I've seen has been about the anime.

Edit: If anyone's interested, I have volumes 1-12 along with the released chapters from volume 13.

If not, would you be able to share the volumes via uploading websites such as Megaupload.com? etc

Do you have a link of where these scanlations came from? I plan on buying the manga since they're so good, but I'm not patient enough to wait for the books to come out since they're behind D: .

From what I know, the earlier chapters were done by [M-S] and the later ones are being done by 10sigh. As a matter of fact, Chapter 73 was just scanlated. I'll put that one up in a few.

Heh, you're not the only one. I did the same thing too, and so did another person that I sent the volumes to.

Oh, I also have a question...

Spoiler:

When Claymore 5 went to the South to meet her sister, what happened there? I couldn't exactly tell, she just sorta held onto her and did something. Did she cancel our her Yoma and die in the process or something?

Spoiler:

Raphaela actually has the exact same power as her sister, except that she vowed never to use any of it (you know, the 10%, 30%, etc...) and that's why she can't be detected. She basically broke her sister's back while she was asking Raphaela to turn into a monster like her to beat Isley. In other words, putting her sister out of her misery.

Edit: Alright, just finished uploading chapter 73. Good stuff in there.

Claymore Chapter 73

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No problem. I offered to do so, and someone took me up on it (sup Yume). Uploading stuff isn't all that difficult, heh.

I'd just like to share some of my favorite moments so far in the manga, not in any order:

Spoiler:

i. It was quite suprising the last time Clare and Raki see each other and she gives him that kiss goodbye. Emotional ;_;

ii. The appearance of "Quick Sword" Ilena when she saves Claire. Even more awesome is when she cuts off her own arm to give to Clare, totally uncalled for. I still wonder what happened to Ilena when she was caught by that Raphaela without arms :P.

iii. When Jean sacrifices her life to save Clare from turning into a full Yoma. I can't wait to see that entire battle animated.

Heh, those are definitely high points.

Spoiler:

The first one took me by surprise, definitely. This entire time I thought Clare and Raki had a Teresa/Clare thing going, but apparently that's not the case. Either way, this ambiguity is gonna factor in big time when she meets him again, along with the folks he's been with for 7 years.

As for Ilena, I think she was killed. Clare's borrowed arm did a tingly thing it seemed when she got killed. About that arm, did you notice when Clare awakened her limbs, that arm had a different form from the others?

They're definitely going to sink most of their budget into those last few episodes, don't know how they'll end it. Either immediately after the battle (BAD END) or later on (TRUE END). I think those gold rods are money, by the way.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Galatea was already awesome before, but

Spoiler:

now that she's blind she's even more slick! Awesome chapter, and it was nice seeing the look on Ms. I-CAN'T-DO-ANYTHING's face when the troops kept attacking.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's your typical shonen manga, but with it's own thing going for it. Try reading the first few chapters and find out yourself, it's the easiest way.

I enjoy reading it alongside Bleach, good entertainment value in both.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's a surprisingly engaging read. Found a scanslation of it and I'm hooked.

This is late, but by "typical shounen" I mean the whole power level thing that runs throught most in said genre. BTW, anyone read up to the latest chapters?

Spoiler:

Miria's revelation after a LONG time of holding it back was somewhat expected on my part. I figured the organization was making Youma, but the rest? Holy shit, that just made them that much worse in my eyes.

Also, Raki killing Yoma off without being a Claymore was predicted by many folks.

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

Definitely. The entire time he was scampering about, I was hoping and wishing for the day he actually does SOMETHING to come quick. And when we finally see it, it's damn awesome.

As for the revelation... it was exactly that part that floored me. Not only is the area their in just some island, but there's a war of such magnitude on the mainland that their location is being used as a laboratory. Just wow.

The first part that Galatea called Miria on (Organization makes Youma), wasn't much of a surprise though. From the moment we got a look at them and a whole host of unanswered questions as to their origin, it was bound to lead to that. Same thing goes for the popular notion that things would come full circle and the Org. would be the enemy, not the abyssal ones.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
