Besides, it's not like there are awakened beings available for slaying all the time. Awakened beings are pretty rare happenings, so most of the claymore's duty consists of slaying normal yomas found around their region. Besides even if organization knows about an awakened being it doesn't do anything about it unless it receives a specific order from some village to kill it. And as we know it, most of the awakened beings are either smart enough to avoid being reported or strong enough to kill any potential reporters/witnesses or both. So taking all of that into account it seems pretty normal that most of the time Teresa was hunting normal yomas and not awakened beings.

This is a post from anime thread by Guido. I wanted to reply there but feared doing spoiler so I post my response here. Spoiler:

Only vol 1-7 has been release. If you read chinese there are couple of chinese sites. But no English site. I don't believed Clyamore was ever pickup by any scanlation group before it was license and i don't see any group picking it up now that it has been license.

Good grief, 40 over pages already in this thread. I'm late to the game as usual. I've long noticed the Claymore manga at local stores, but never took it up. The cover art appealed to me, but I reigned in the temptation to buy on impulse (I make that mistake all the time, especially when it comes to "glossy" magazines ).
So far? I actually find myself liking this series, just from watching the five episodes so far. The character designs, strangely enough, remind me of Twelve Kingdoms (especially the prominent upper lip that some have pointed out. I seem to recall seeing similar designs in Twelve Kingdoms as well; whatever the case, I happen to find it attractive ). And is it just me, or do the Youmas remind anyone of the chiroptera from Blood+? As for the music, meh, I don't like as much, but that's just my opinion. Regarding criticisms about this being your stereotypical story of an ultra-tough but good-looking, sword wielding heroine with a dark past....well yes, they are valid criticisms, lol. However, I for one don't mind cliched premises as long as the characters and story are presented well, and hopefully from an original angle. After all, if you think about it, what else is there out there that hasn't already been done before? Everything is cliche. Even Shakespeare was guilty of re-interpreting popular material for his plays, but in doing so, he made the material his own. From what I've seen so far, I think this series has potential. I'll be watching it closely. |

I'm sure that this will be troublesome for a few people, but it should be helpful for many more folks. I'm going to end this thread and replace it with two new ones.
Unfortunately there are two separate discussions going on in this one thread and sometimes they overlap in spoilerific ways. One discussion is about the English translation of the manga which is up to volume 7. The other discussion is about the original Japanese manga which is up to volume 12. The new threads can be found here:
