Finished volume 4, getting creepy Berserk parallel vibes in the way of the storyline structure. Yet, it feels so goooood...

Yea, been reading it and I also feel it's a lighter version of Berserk. The art's a little odd, since it's by the same author of Angel Densetsu I feel weird looking at it sometimes. Especially the Yokai designs.

Just finished reading this and I'm enjoying it, although, it pains me to get another manga I like and need to wait for.

As with what some people who said, it does remind me of a Berserk feel, mainly because of the era it's in, and killing and Yoma, etc.

Will be waiting for more releases, hopefully soon.

Volume 5 is out for those interested.

Humm, no one read volume 5? Well time for some more kickass action.

I just read all 6 volumes in a single night, loved it. The parallels with Berserk are pretty obvious, since the theme of both is the same, becoming a monster to slay monsters. I really liked the flashback with Theresa resulting in Clare's voluntary joining. Seeing Priscilla kill Theresa during a moment of mercy was particularly sad. Even though you kind of had to expect it, the abruptness of it is as shocking to the readers as it is to the characters. Now with the 4 "Slashers" all semi-awakened, we'll see a lot more Claymores trying to kill each other.

Ophelia is one evil bitch though. Can't wait for volume 7.

I think I might pick up the Viz copies of this. It's going to be a long wait until April though.
