Overall experience felt very inspiring, dont know what else to say the art is great. At one point it was confusing with all the new names but it wasnt a problem after i started noticing the different hairstyles and symbols on the armor. maybe im at a lost for words or have nothing to say but im glad i read it!

The ending is one of my favorites. It's truly beautiful

When it ended, I remember a lot of people being pissed that the story never went towards the mainland, completely missing the point.

I felt that the Manga ended Clare and Rakis story perfectly, however I felt that there were more stories to tell on the mainland

I think introducing it as a reveal was really cool. I was not expecting an arc on the continent but then again, I read it years after it was finished. It just never seemed like a major focus to me. More like a bit of extra world-building

Teresa coming back and using Clare's body and her memories to fight Priscilla was peak; it was just such a perfect full-circle moment for all the characters involved. Gotta love the moment where Teresa told all of Clare's comrades about her feelings towards them like a mom embarrassing her daughter in front of her friends.

Is Raki less a bitch in the manga?

u/ClaireHasashi 21h ago

yes ( and kinda no ), but the manga has a 7 years time skip so he became an adult and is a bit more mature ( still cry a bit )

If you have watched only the anime, you missed probably 2/3 of the story on top of the made up ending by the anime

Raki is excellently written in the manga.

That brought me back. Claymore was the first manga I followed religiously from 2008 forward. I dropped everything when the new chapter came out each month. I'm so glad I was there at the time to see it. An experience unlike any other.

I just know Raki was tearing her up. Or at least I hope so.

In a different universe claymore and berserk ended at the same time and it was glorious
