Manga: Claymore

[Death BOO Z]

I agree, I knew she wasn't the uber claymore, but since that girl came to her and asked clare to kill her, i thought she was at least a semi-strong, out of 50 or so i would rate her at the 20th or something..
also, the "man in black" made it seem like she was pretty strong, so either that he sees something in her (potentiel to uberness) or that he acts the same to every claymore girl.

is there only one of those guys or are they a group?

and yes, Claymore is starting to look like a realy good manga, after the first 4 volumes- which were basically a stupid hunt for monsters, it starts to develop some deepness.

edit: I've gone through volume 1 - it seems that the guy's (man in blakc that assigns her jobs) is Rubel... pretty cool person.

Am I the only one who is kinda turned off by the art? Hopefully the story'll get deeper and more interesting, because currently this is just a read for me to pass time.

Na', you're not the only one... I find it annoying that I can't easily recognize the female characters. But there's some uniqueness to the art that makes this refreshing. As of late, most mangas drawing styles are too similar to each other which turns me off even more.

As for the story, the last couple of volumes have been going deeper every time, and it's been hinting at a bigger plot in the horizon, so I expect the manga to keep getting better. I just hope the anime does it justice and doesn't bastardize the story and keeps some gore in it.

I just started myself...and read 1-6 in an afternoon; it is pretty interesting, I'll say. When does the next volume come out?

[Munsu]

Volume 7 came out April 3... you have to wait till it gets scanned and released.

Claymore comes out in full volumes, or a chapterly basis? I know the scans done by manga-sketchbook are of the full volumes.

They come out in volumes.
