"You don't need to know my name. You'll forget it soon enough."
This is a manga that I've never heard of before now. It's definitely very interesting, but I don't think I will continue it right away at least. But there is the makings of a very peculiar story here...

I do not know. There are some weird themes that pop up here and there, but I am not sure how uncomfortable I am about them. It is a bit hard to tell villagers from each other, because the artist has the worst case of the same face syndrome. It is a bit weird that all of the Claymores are women and they all look pretty much the same (and according to our main character are pretty). I just do not know yet and will not know for a while, because I am not planning on continuing the series right now.
Reading notes:
Why the hell was he following her?
If yomas are the top predators, because they eat humans, then what are claymore exactly? And does that yoma and humans are close enough that they can mix?
Main character thanking Clare and asking for her name is the dream of all service employees.
Why is there absolutely unnecessary weird dude and nudity scene?
I hate the trope, that the main character is new to the world of something else and needs to learn their "harsh" rules, while constantly arguing against them. Honestly, kinda colonialism.
