Claymore, Vol. 4

Must have!!

This is a great Manga,i have seen the animated series 26 episodes now im reading the manga books and they are GREAT!!

Gift to granddaughter

I get nothing for review and I bought this manga with my own money.
Lots of action in this volume from Teresa killing all the bandits in the first half to Claymore versus Claymore in the second. Teresa kills a Yoma that was scaring away the bandits that she had fought with earlier and they descend on the village and kill everyone but Clare. They have plans for her because of Teresa. Teresa goes back to stop the bandits but she is far too late. In her rage at what they had done, she kills them all. So Teresa and Clare are on the run together. The people that run the Claymores' send others after Teresa but she is the best for a reason so they send a group of five after them. Teresa is a great character and I like seeing where Clare came from but I know that it will not end well but what the real cost will be I am not sure. The art is great in the series showing us what is going on without getting too gory. More Action and Drama Ahead.

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars.

It was a gift and she loved it!

a wonderful chapter of the story in regards to Clair and Teresa's background story , it still emotionally effected me as i watched the anime 4 years ago and reading the manga now .

This volume picks off where volume 3 ended. This shows about Claire's past it shows Clare and Teresa journey together. The art and story are a very high standard.

Not only does volume 4 build off of the previous volumes, but it opens with the direct continuation of a story started in volume 3. This is not the place to start reading.

We open with the end of the Teresa of the Faint Smile story, with Teresa dealing with the changes in herself her new traveling companion is causing. This tale ends strongly, and events hear will clearly have great effect and influence on things going forward.

The remainder of the volume contains the first four parts of the seven part Marked for Death story. Here we see both the consequences of a Claymore breaking the one absolute rule of their organization and the introduction of a young new recruit with staggering potential. The hunt for the renegade Claymore and ensuing battle are very well done and full of both action and compelling character moments.

The art continues to be a perfect compliment to the story (although very unique and non-standard in style) and is clear and easy to follow even when the action gets hectic. There are some incredible, dramatic double page spreads in this issue and the next. Yagi's visual pacing is great.

I love the focus on Teresa and the story threads that follow. Things are progressing well and Yagi's presenting his stories with carefully increasing levels of danger, intrigue and information. Highly recommended.

This is a great series that my husband and I both love. I had to return some because he already had some but these came in great condition and were exactly what I expected. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

It got to my house and in great shape thats all it matters. This book store is legit and is worth spending your money. :)
