Claymore 1

Hrm. Is this thing a new series? or just a gaiden?

I'm skipping the ads and intros.

04
Extra Scene 1 - A warrior's pride

red left - Her name is Teresa of the faint smile.
red right - The one that Clarie follows/that isolated being who keeps to herself

the rest of the page is unrelated (tv anime, new vol, etc)
author lower right - Yagi Norihiro

05 skip

06
left - The flash of a claymore!

-Ga-
-GAAAH!

left - That beautiful figure who slays Youma

07
right - (again, about the anime. pretty much all the side panels are ads in this chapter. i'll only translate if it's important)

-My work's done.
-As for my fee, just give it to the man dressed in black who will be coming here later

08
-w--wait!!
-You just told us there were two youma in our village
-So what about the other one?
-I told you already,

-If I take out the other one my fee will double
-If you're all right with that, I'll kill it right now.

-...b-but...
-Look, the reason that eradicating youma is so expensive

-Is that they can mimic humans and feed on their flesh
-We, who have the blood of the youma coursing through our veins, are able to see through their disguise

-Thus, that sum is suitable compensation
-for employing us, who you call Claymores. It's a fair price.

-... (ugu? what kind of sound is that? he's speechless anyway)

09
-Hurry up and make up your mind.
-I'm only here to do my job.

-Got the money?
-Unable to sleep?

10
-They paid up without complaints
-The full price for two, that is

-Hou, that's a surprise.
-From the treatment I was getting earlier, I expected a little more resistance

-The client had nothing to say thanks to your work

-Without knowing even a single member of the organization
-You have no problems with being an ordinary soldier,
-Teresa of the faint smile?

11
-This is addressed to you
-I came to drop it off

-A black letter?

-Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
-I have no clue what it's about, but

-Please take it
-This was my excuse for dropping by

12
-It's from the organization's #2--
-..from Rosemary

-I don't get it.
-Why would the #2 give me orders without having met me even once?

-Who knows? You'll need to ask her yourself.
-She's waiting for you at Godalu Hill

-It must be because you're working so hard
-The sooner you go, the better

13
-She was the number 1 until just before you came around
-Go kill her before it's too late.

-Godalu hill, huh?
-Oh I see, it's a great place to watch the setting sun

14
-You were thinking the same thing when you chose this place, right?
-Rosemary

15
-Usually with a black letter...

-A half-human, half-youma warrior, knowing their body's limits,
-Sends it to someone close to them to have that person kill them before they turn into a full youma.
(this is the original order, you may have to flip em around to make more sense)

-But it seems that this time
-You just wanted to try to fight me, right?

-My apologies.

16
-That's exactly right.
-Teresa

-ch..!

19
-I'll ask anyway, but...
-Could you at least tell me why?

-To fight you for real was my final wish
-I was never able to accept becoming the number one without having to fight

20
-I see...
-Through that collected face of yours you've always bore a grudge

-Rosemary
-There's one more thing I'd like to ask

-Your awakening...
-Was it before the letter? or after?

-What are you saying
-Teresa!?

21
-Before the letter,
-Obviously

22
-That's a relief
-I was having regrets, thinking I was too late

-Relief?
-Quit talking nonsense

-I could never forgive you
-You, who stole my number one position!!

24
-I'll kill you!
-You will be my first victim! (that's not the lit. trans. she says i'll definitely kill at least you, so...context trans here)
(T/N - that thing's so cool!! like alien fusion :P)

25
-GUH!!

26
-Oh, Sh---!

27
-GAH!!

-How pitiful, Teresa
-This is all you had?

28
-Damn!
-Why did the organization put this stupid kid in charge!
-Why wasn't it me,
-But you chosen as the number one!
-Damn!
-Why?!

-Because obviously
-I was the strongest by far

-Huh?

-That's a great thing to say, given your situation
-You're definitely as arrogant as a number one

-You don't understand
-Because you're only number two

29
-UGAAAAAAH!!!

-QUIT MESSING WITH ME!
-YOU...
-IF ONLY YOU WEREN'T AROUND, THEN I...!

-GAHH!

-huh...?

30
-Since you've awakened then you should've lost your sense of pain too
-Or could it be that you don't care since you like getting roughed up?

-Y-you!!
-How did you...

-It was nothing special,
-I just used my left hand to twist it off
sfx - crack

-tw-
-twist off...!?

31
-Well then,
-Let's finish this, shall we?

-I don't usually do this...
-Because occasionally when I do, I forget who I'm supposed to kill...

-Wh-
-Wait a minute!! (two bubbles)

-What is this?!
-There's no way you can have this much Youki (i assume this is a normal term in the comic so i'm just leaving it as is)

32
-I also wanted to say thanks--
-It's a big help that you've awakened.

-I'd rather kill an Awakened over killing one of my companions...
-It makes me feel a little better

33-34
-M-
-onst-
-er

-Monster?
-That makes the both of us

35
-What happened?**
**he says "in that appearance", at first i thought it was her clothes a mess but now i'm thinking it really means she's too neat and clean to look like there was any battle.

-Don't tell me, you let her awaken...?

-You've got to be kidding. There's no way it would end well against an awakened, former-number one...!
-I find it hard to believe you've just fought a Youma.

bottom: ES1/end. Claymore's serialization has been approved! This autumn's launch issue will be 222 pages!!
(Not sure what they're getting at here. it sounded like it was worded to still be a surprise.)

top - From the author who wove the epic story of "Enjieru (angel?)'s legend", has just been serialized in WJ (weekly jump)!!
(serialized for what? and how long?? bah these stupid ads)

right - The next issue of claymore will appear in the merged 36/37 WJ issue!

36
-Did you finish her?

-Yeah.
-It was a fitting end for a former number one.

-Oh come on, believe me
-The fact I came back alive is more proof than anything

-Hmph...well, whatever
-Let's go.
-Your next job is waiting.

-Roger, (or, aye aye - choucha038 thx! apparently used in another volume)
-Boss!

left: "Teresa of the faint smile"...Her meeting with Claire, and the separation from the most strong and beautiful lone warrior.
(sorry, if i actually read claymore i might know what they're talking about here)

37
-Big 'ol ad to buy the next issue.

...and that's a wrap.
This was oddly a lot of fun to do. Plus I found it really easy to loosen up the trans to fit the characters. I think I will have to look at this "claymore". I was kind of turned off by the anime (way too graphic).
