Wow! Yes again! Love it so much! Only three left, as much as I want to see how it will end, I also don't want it to end... But I definitely love this series a lot!

Pues son basicmanete 2 peleas.
Por un lado la Priscila renacida con la otra renacida desconocida, y en otra las claymore contra la monstro gigante Cassandra.
Por ahí se agregan renacidos, en especial los dos últimos de cuando había claymore varones, Lars y Chronos.

The strong abyssal ones are really fighting. Still team Miria is thriving. I am just thankful Clare is back. :p The end chapter is showing some interesting stuff...

The amounts of monsters in this book is amazing!
World: Stunning art with all the different types of awakened ones. The world building is a bit janky this time around with the logic of Priscilla and Cassandra and the males and the ones just sitting their. A lot of pieces that are a bit too convenient.
Story: A lot of insane monsters this time around but the world and plot logic is a bit of a stretch and overly convenient with the males and then the others coming together and the fight with Rilful and also the other ones outside the city with Priscilla and the Cassandra situation. it’s a lot of moving pieces that somehow all come together magically.
Characters: There are some nice little moments with Raki but that’s about it not a lot of depth here. There is Priscilla and her story but it’s nothing new and expected.
Onward to the next book!

The fighting fights of fightiness continue! But unlike with Bleach, where you felt that the fighting dragged on and on (and on and on and on) for no reason, Claymore battles have a hint of a plot in them and they seem to be leading somewhere.
It might just be the fact that the series is 27 volumes long, but I believe that the fights are leading to a final conclusion.

Yay for more answers! We get a huge hint of how Claire and others were able to half awaken, as well as Priscilla's backstory. I still find the fact that regeneration laws are ignored without any explanation. Like how is Riful back, and why dont others come back???

RIFUL IS ALIVE? I never knew I would be as hyped for a matchup as I was the moment I realized we were getting Riful vs Priscilla. But like... An actual even fight Riful vs Priscilla. Not the one sided curb stomp from a couple of volumes ago.

Claymore is a manga about Yoma who pretend to be human in order to kill and eat the humans. The Claymore are the hybrid of the two stronger faster but still human with the ability to slay the Yoma which they do for a price. They travel from village to village slaying Yoma with nothing but the sword on their back using the Yoma abilities but slowly turning into a monster that they hunt. When the time comes a Claymore will send a black card to another claymore to be slain before the Yoma takes over and so they die as a human.
In the 24th volume we have learned about the truth of the yoma and of the betrayal of the organization but they haven’t really had a chance to think about it. Heading off into battle dressed as the warriors they are to fight Cassandra. However to the awakened beings watching to see how things are going to turn out it’s clear that they need all the help that they can get against her. While the Awakened beings jump in to stop the abyssal she proves that she may just be too powerful for even all of them. Priscilla has her own hands full fighting with an equally matched being. How will it turn out?
I like Clare she’s a sword carrying slayer who isn’t afraid to die charging in risking her life. She's grown a lot in the last several volumes leading up to the battle in the north. After faking her death along with her fellow claymore's she's returned after seven years to battle the Organization. While she may not be the strongest she's determined and unwilling to give up. She's one of those underdog characters you can't help liking. We've seen a little of Raki having grown up into a man who fights yoma he’s been captured by the organization. Clare and Priscilla have been trapped in a ball of flesh locking them both away from the others.
I’ve seen all of the episodes on Netflix a few years ago actually binge watched them over a long weekend. While it’s been a while I don’t think the anime has gone this far in the series. I don’t remember the girls taking on the organization which is where the story has turned. It’s interesting learning that the organization which has been creating claymores for a long time may not be the good guys after all. I love the concept for the Claymore the hybrids created using parts from the monsters that they have been created to fight against the Yoma that they created. The art is great it gives me just enough to create the story in my head as I read each detailed page. This is only my 2nd manga so I don’t have a lot to base on but I’m super addicted to them. They are perfect for when I have some downtime or when I feel like reading back to back. I already know that the ending is close as I’m about halfway done. I’m anxious to see how it’s all going to play out.

Today's post is on Claymore volume 24: Army of the Underworld by Norihiro Yagi. It is the twentieth-four the long running Claymore series, you need to have read the first twenty-three volumes to understand the story. It is 193 pages long and is published by Shonen Jump Advanced. The cover has Clare cutting through a Yoma on it looking cool. The intended reader is someone who likes dark plots, high action, and strong female characters. There is mild foul language, no sexuality, 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- Priscilla, whose monstrous savagery was reawakened in the previous battle, is bent on absorbing the power of those who feel in her wake and destroying the rebel Claymores. Raki and several former top warriors band together with a defensive plan, but even their skills may be no match against Priscilla's poisoned wrath. Meanwhile, the terrifying Yoma-based creature coalescing outside of the Holy City of Rabona may seek to defeat Priscilla... but it may also be seeking to defeat the rebel warriors!
Review- We get to see how powerful Priscilla's true form is as she destroys four out of the seven powerful Awakened Ones that were watching her fight and absorb her power back from the resurrected warriors. The Claymores and Awakened Ones are going to try and work together to stop Priscilla but it is an uneasy alliance. Add in Clare's over-powering rage at being so close to Priscilla and everyone has their hands full. As this series is winding down, we are getting less character growth and longer action scenes as this is an action manga; not a complaint more of a comment. The volume ends with a powerful, almost abyssally powerful, Awakened One joining the fight. Only three volumes left to bring it all together.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

You know, for a series with so action-packed, I'm surprised I'm finding it so... boring? I guess this just goes to show that in all types of media (books, manga, film) it doesn't matter how good the action sequences are; if there is nothing like a plot or decent characters holding it together, who is going to read it? Some of the fight scenes where it's a 'big bad' versus another 'big bad' are somewhat reminiscent of the old Godzilla movies, but instead with no dynamism or fun energy to them. Speaking of, those newer kaiju movie remakes (eg. Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla Versus Kong and Kong: Skull Island) which I mostly found to be laughable escapism have more to their characters than this series does (and let's be honest, the character work in those films are... questionable at best). This wasn't fun to read, and I was more confused than I've ever been reading this series so far.

Scattered thoughts:
24 volumes in and this series still has me doing frequent double takes out of confusion with its abrupt cuts to different locations and scenes and occasionally giving flashbacks with barely any visual/significant contextual indicators.
Also wish we were getting more characterization of Clare. I appreciate when main characters take a step back to develop supporting cast and drum up the stakes but with Clare back it’s time for her to DO something.
I do also really wish this series had a character glossary in the front due to its massive cast and super complex factional dynamics. It’s consistently funny to me trying to memorize the various warrior ladies by their distinct hairstyles.
This was a good volume overall but it pushed some weak spots that have annoyed me my entire time with this series to the forefront. Very much looking forward to seeing how this fierce epic ends though

It looks like this final battle is the longest one yet. Nothing is certain so far, only that the author still manages somehow to keep me interested.

3.5/5 Now we’re back to long drawn out fights. Not a whole lot happens just the main cast of Claymores holding back the Abyssal One heading toward Priscilla. Meanwhile Priscilla is battling some strange amalgamation of Riful and Dauf.
Our two remaining Organization members watch from the hill blabbing about their power stemming from their hatred but it all seams unnecessary.
The best part of the volume is a little backstory chapter on Priscilla.
Clare shredding up an Abyssal One on the cover of Volume 24.

This series has become so confusing with very drawn out fights and new powers/abilities/character types seemingly thrown in randomly. I like a good fight but this is virtually all this manga is now. It really does not feel like it knows how to wrap things up to get to the end result the mangaka in a logical fashion. It’s a shame as the series was very good for quite a few volumes, I am only really continuing as I am so close to the final volume.

Waited for the last to write a review because this series just keeps on flowing
A captivating story and very emotional only keeps you regretting about Teresa's death and wishing for her to be there with Clare
Writing is awesome and the story finished when it should be...
My favourite series of all time till now just well done

Some of the mechanics are lost on me.
It's getting to the point where the "power levels" keep having to get one upped by each subsequent villain. This is the way of shonen- I know - but where at the beginning explanations were simple and elegant it just seems to me to.become increasingly more convoluted.

So now an AWAKENED BEING is confirming that awakenings change your mind completely from that of a human. Why the fuck are there docile awakened beings here? Why are they going along with what Miria plans?
No build-up or little crumbs to follow for the reader.

No pues valió todo, le salió otro power up a Priscilla, ahora puede ¿fusionarse?, ¿tomar control?, ¿comerse a las otras Claymore? Algo así. Luego reapareció Riful, de quien yo no esperaba nada y ahora viene igual con power up. Nombre, se nota que ya viene el final.

Man, if this ain’t a dredge.
Are you saying that the one surpassing an abyssal one is gonna surpass the one whom surpassed the surpassing of an abyssal one? Sounds abysmal. Ba dum tisss.
What am I reading? WHAT AM I READING!?

Let's once again introduce a new cast of characters so they can be fodder, dying randomly to show that wow this bad guy is so strong! Look at her, she can kill all these newbies who we are told are strong! Wowowow!
July 22, 2017
So it seems those half-awakened warriors were able to be in that state because they were given the yoma flesh of loved ones? I didn't realize that was a thing for anyone except Clare. Good to know!
