About the series
In the dark fantasy world of Claymore, half-human, half-monster warriors known as Claymores hunt shapeshifting Yoma for a living, all while struggling to hold onto their own humanity. Written and illustrated solely by Norihiro Yagi for Viz from 2006 to 2015, this 27-issue series is a tense, action-driven saga that explores themes of identity and sacrifice through its stoic, silver-eyed heroines. Its tight, self-contained storytelling and Yagi’s distinctive, detailed art make it a standout in the manga landscape.
