Claymore

## Claymore *Claymore* is a dark fantasy epic — Norihiro Yagi's relentless story of half-human, half-monster warriors who sacrifice their humanity to protect the world, rendered in stark and visceral ink. In a medieval world plagued by shape-shifting monsters called Yoma, the only defense is the Claymores — silver-eyed women who are implanted with Yoma flesh, granting them superhuman strength at the cost of their humanity. If they use their powers too much, they risk becoming the very monsters they hunt. Clare, the weakest Claymore, is driven by a personal vendetta against a Yoma called Priscilla — the most powerful awakened being in existence. As Clare grows stronger and forges bonds with other Claymores, the story escalates into a war between humans, awakened beings, and an organization whose true purposes are far more sinister than warrior protection. *Claymore* is a masterpiece of dark fantasy action, featuring some of the most memorable female protagonists in manga history.
