Summary: Humanity is being plagued by the Yoma, shape-shifting creatures who can take human form. Their only hope lies in women known as Claymores (named for the sword), who are half-human and half-Yoma. But theirs is a cursed existance, for these "silver-eyed witches" eventually become Yoma themselves. The story centers around Clare, who is accompanied by a human named Raki, who was orphaned by a Yoma she killed.

The Good: Nice artwork and a great gothic feel.

The Bad: Many of the characters seem emotionless

Offensive Material: Graphic violence, language, and some nudity. Occult themes such as monsters.

Overall: Claymore seems like an interesting series and should be good for fans of titles like Berserk.
