Claymore / Yagi, Norihiro

In a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise, the Claymores, half human and half monster warriors, must fight the Yoma and their own savage impulses in order to survive.

While Miria penetrates the Organization's headquarters and learns the truth about Yoma, human warrior Raki joins the Claymores on the battlefield in hopes of being reunited with Clare.

"Former Claymores Cassandra and Priscilla appear to be headed toward an epic conflict, as the warriors protecting the Holy City of Rabona attempt to orchestrate a battle between these two savage elements in order to avert complete annihilation. However, when Clare and Raki step in, the Awakened Ones' fury is redirected toward them!"--Back cover.

Clarice and Miata visit the Holy City of Rabona in their hunt for Galatea, the Organization's former number three, and run into complications far beyond their expectations. Includes two bonus background stories.

Clare, having volunteered to become a Claymore in order to avenge herself upon those who killed her mentor Teresa, faces the brunt of the attack when she and fellow Claymores--a race of female warriors developed especially to fight the Yoma, monsters that prey on humans and live among them in disguise--go to battle against a powerful Awakened Being.

Clare, a Claymore, a race of half-human, half-monster female warriors developed especially to fight the Yoma, monsters that prey on humans and live among them in disguise, confronts the Yoma that has been stalking priests at the cathedral in Rabona in a brutal battle. Includes a flashback which tells of Clare's early life.

Clare and a team of Claymores struggle to hold off an evil horde of Awakened Ones, giving the Organization just enough time to finish a secret weapon that may end the battle once and for all.

The Organization is creating Yoma warriors and the rebel Claymores Deneve, Helen, and Yuma return to Rabona and find it under attack by Yoma.

Clare's companions, Deveve and Helen, try to protect her from Priscilla, but they are drawn into the swirling mass of the combined Claymores when Luciela and Rafaela attack. Meanwhile, Miria encounters Rubel and mysterious warrior twins, as well as a deadly fighter who can read Miria's mind.

After Isley's defeat by the Abyss Feeders disrupts the balance of power, the Organization sends Alice and Beth to the West in puruit of Riful, who is continuing her scheme to Awaken Rafaela. Clare and her Claymore comrades must fight for their lives in the titanic battle that ensues when these powers collide.
