| I've loved this manga for seven or eight years and I don't know how to feel about the ending... Correct me if I miss something, but it's all kind of be like "the power of love saves the day". Priscilla is one of the most dangerous beings ever, then Clare -who was supposed to be kinda weak even after those seven years of training- awake and it turns out Teresa was with her all along and then, out of the blue, Teresa kills Priscilla. I expected something more, I feel sad. |
| If it has solution, don't bother; and if it hasn't, why bothering? Do you like manga? http://gunjoteam.com |
| Meh, very lackluster. The series really lost steam after the time skip. The finale was dragged out far too much; eventually I just stopped caring. The writing and story really took a hit, too. I feel Yagi should have spent more time elaborating and less time churning out the fighting. Still, all the material pre-time skip was brilliant. I remember how much a thoroughly exciting read Claymore used to be, and the characters (along with Yagi's awakened being designs) have been an intriguing bunch. A real shame he couldn't keep it up. |
| Does anyone know why it the page says there are 159 chapters whilst it ends at 155? |
Juneh said: Does anyone know why it the page says there are 159 chapters whilst it ends at 155? MAL includes side-story chapters in the total chapter count (see here). In Claymores case, there are four side stories bringing the total to 159. |
temporary said: Weak ending, pretty disappointing. +1 So many unanswered questions. |
| Forever Berserk |
| I thought the character that Clare saw at the end got killed? |
| Well, that's that....what a journey though. It's rare to find a manga that is truly satisfying, so I'm not surprised that this ending doesn't fully satisfy me either. Still, it was a great manga and one hell of a great ride. 9/10 |

| WTF was Rubel talking about? Who are the ones that are going to hide away in neighboring lands and be forgotten? The men that left the Organization that can't go back to their homeland, or just the Organization in general? This line: "The strongest blades, huh... Undoubtedly... The Claymores." Is this just the failed attempted to bring the series title in at the end? It such a stupid line, they never called themselves "Claymores" and there was never anything really done with this name to make it significant enough to be put in. Also, does anyone remember Renee!? WTF happened to her? This just feels like a rushed ending, like in the anime, and if this is the end to everything it's just another BS ending and yet another middle finger to Claymore fans. |
| Damn... this was so lame. I loved the anime, but I wasn't satisfied with the ending so I started reading the manga. It was a good reading at first, but everything started to get bad some years ago, and it was downhill until the last page. The Deus Ex Machina fight against Priscilla was the last nail in Claymore's coffin. 6/10 |

Why would the Warriors hide in "Neighboring" Lands, lands outside of the continent that they never knew that existed and thought that this was they only land in the world? http://www.manga2u.me/Claymore/79/24/ Even if this means just hiding where they are why would they hide? It doesn't make any sense. So Rubel was taking about the steel of their swords? Then I quote myself: "Is this just the failed attempted to bring the series title in at the end?" Then I correct my punctuation: "Is this just the failed attempted to bring the series title in at the end." There is no body in that scene, is that suppose to be blood in the second last one? I don't understand what your talking about in the last part. People who don't really care about it enough aren't fans, although they might like it. Fans are more devoted then that. This manga was good up to the point where Priscilla start killing everything, then she just gets her ass handed to her in like a chapter and a half by Teresa. It was just a rushed ending and if you find this to be a good ending and you're happy with it, I doubt you're a true fan. |
| It was a great manga. I hope we will see a spin-off in a certain future, cause I'm curious about the continent etc. Also... IRENE! :-) |

| I didn't like the manga like I did at the start. Yagi kinda forgot where he was going to and I didn't really enjoyed the technique he used to gather all the things he left all over the place towards -what I think was- a rushed ending. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Clare and Teresa and I loved how at least the Clare-Priscilla-Teresa story led to a conclusion worth reading. |
 » Escapism. |
| The manga started off well but it declined from that point, when they kind of started fighting the abyss ones. It was hard to keep up with it, but I'm generally proud of how it ended. It's a happy ending in an alternative way. Plus the Clare feels are too real. |
 |
| Author went full WTF near the end. The ending felt like a salvage job. 7.5/10 personally. |
 |
| The ending is so rush~ Still not that bad, the chapter had some sweet moments(i wish a little bit longer) the anime made me the claymore fan i am today. I'm glad i read this manga 9/10. |
 |
| when the anime ended i held off from reading the manga because i was hoping for a remake/continuation that ignores the last few episodes. glad i caved in and finally read it loved the world setting, the characters ,yagi's character designs after the time skip it felt that yagi got really fond of the characters he created even newly introduced ones, the number of deaths felt greatly reduced but you never knew that they would really all survive so it was not predictable. since i read at my own pace and did not have to wait a month the battles near the end did not feel dragged out but you could tell they were. was a bit worried that teresa might actually get revived for some reasons. glad it turned out that she just ended up being clare's awakening love the fact that irene survived. never believed that she would just die enjoyed the manga from the beginning to the end and already miss it and the characters nothing to do with the manga as it is since i like the ending but knowing that there is an entire world with dragon kins fighting. it is a bit disappointing that we never got to see the rest of the world but story wise it makes sense. they can finally live in peace after killing all remaining yoma on the island. bonus points for nun galatea <3 |

| it ends at 155 but why does my list have it up too 159? |
Coldbid said: it ends at 155 but why does my list have it up too 159? Theres 4 extra chapters. Google claymore extra scenes |
Daren_ said: i thought should have 5?Coldbid said: it ends at 155 but why does my list have it up too 159? Theres 4 extra chapters. Google claymore extra scenes 1) Teresa fighting Rosemary 2) when Miria was number 17 3) Priscilla met Isley 4) long haired Clare as a trainee 5) Isley, Ricardo and Duff met Riful |
klaymore said: i thought should have 5? 1) Teresa fighting Rosemary 2) when Miria was number 17 3) Priscilla met Isley 4) long haired Clare as a trainee 5) Isley, Ricardo and Duff met Riful After some research i can conclude: - The first four are part of the "extra scenes" series. These all have "extra scenes" on their cover page, and are 30 pages long - The Isley, Ricardo, and Duff met Riful one is a 9 page special called "Warriors' Dawn Side Story". Unfortunately theres no manga entry for this special |

Gen2K_ said: Did he ever give an actual reason why he was ending the series??Seems like the author was running thin, rather have series on on a decent note like than continue to get worse. |
| This felt... average. It wasn't bad but there was no "Wow" factor either. My thoughts were pretty much: "Yeah... cute... yeah... okay... nice. That's it?" I simply couldn't feel any sense of conclusion from this other than Priscilla dying (which, in fact, happened in the previous chapter). It feels like yet another chapter rather than ending which isn't a good thing. I had to bump the rating from 9 to 7 just for this reason. I'm very disappointed but I think it's still better than continuing the manga. |
 |
| So if this is the final chapter why does MAL say there are 4 more to go to Chap 159? Odd, should I just click them off as read? Satisfying ending if that is what this was though, wouldn't have minded a bit longer epilogue but I won't complain. 8/10 series. |
 |
| Amazing series with a satisfying ending. 9/10 |
 |
| Teresa <3 That colorful page was so beautiful! I confess I would like it more if there was a way she could be "alive" again, not inside Clare, but with a body. Miria still a good leader! 8/10 Btw, is the chapter counting wrong?! The last is 155, not 159! |

Psajdako-chan said: I marathoned this entire manga in the last few days, so it's rather fresh all to me, but did author forgot about Renee who dissapeared after being captured by Riful, and just exactly what was that Riful x Dauf fusion? Renee was killed by Riful. |
| confusing ending, so does that mean there will a sequel to this??? |
| There's still the mainland... Possibly a sequel, but author doesn't seem to have much juice left. |
|
| Finally finish marothoning the manga in one go after placing it on hold for years. T.T such a great series. So much feels and thrills ;-; Rase said: Nice ending for a great manga. I hope they start a spin-off from the Continent in the future. |

| I liked the story until it turned into "Island is just a laboratory for a greater conflict" story. Not because it's a bad idea, but because he added elements that were just there to fill gaps. Mainland... So you are going to tell me Calymores don't care about what might happen to them if it reaches island? Villagers don't know? The people there are cut off? Ok let's assume that's the case, why was no claymore sent to battlefield to fight the Dragons? Or at least no one ever mentioned and life of most ended on the island. Why maintain such a charade on the Island when purpose was to create soldiers capable of dealing with Dragons on the mainland... Also Dragons? All mighy beasts that only grow stronger... What are their origins? Why does their flesh turn humans into beasts? Do they not show interest in those captured? It's just too much that needed to be explained in main series. So I won't be satisfied until I see sequel... Since main series is ofc finished. Side story or sequel in another time is not an option. |
 |
| I am kind of sad that Teresa left again. It felt like asspull that Teresa came back, and i hardly understood how Clare and Teresa were communicating. The last scene with Clare turning into a kid crying was quite emotional. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Not a bad ending about what you'd hope for I guess. They should remake the anime. Clare and Raki should have gotten closer tho. That whole other continent stuff seems unresolved, but I guess that's better left for a spinoff or sequel. |
 |
| Goddammit. It has been already many months out!!! Freaking late I am. damn that Flower Scene with Winged Teresa looks awesome!! Soo, this Teresa is basically Illusion of Teresa with Supreme Strength given by Clare. that without she would have clearly lost...so Basically...Priscilla is Strongest Claymore and Being in entire Universe. Sad Goodbyes. T.T Sayonara Teresa of Faint Smile..may you rest in Peace. Aw Miria...XD She started Claire patting huh? XD Flustered Claire Looks Cute. X) and amazing Smile with Claire in the End. Rubel was allowed leave...with Serious warning...yep anyone tries anything...It will be total Massacre to the Invasion Troop...Claymores will ruin them if they come. So Deneve and Helen left to Helen's hometown, Galatea is drinking New Generation under the Table, Miria leads Claymore corps to Erase leftover Yoma's and Awakened Beings, with Tabitha's Sword... Wait what She DIed? WHEN I TOTALLY FORGOT!!! and Oh wait *Checks Wikia* oh chapter 148 now I remember, tough other things most likey too my attention in that chapter. Most of the Survivors of North train the Holy City troops and Young-lings live there too, And Irene was Alive after All...Rafaela left her alive huh? XD Damn there goes one of the Best Monthly manga of Our Time. What else I am now going to read when it is Over? T.T Missing it already. |

| Finally read this manga in 3 day and i liked a lot and i hope we can get some continuation or a spin off about the main land. |
| I've managed to finish this finally. I enjoyed the story starting with the introduction of Teresa but then halfway through I've lost all the interest in it. Should have dropped it after the timeskip. It also seems the art has dropped significantly, especially the backgrounds, although the mangaka has improved some other stuff like faces. Anyway for me it's another manga that dropped the ball. |
