Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Claymore volume 26 will be released in June. I'm guessing that Teresa won't be on the cover since it would be spoilerish so that leaves Priscilla, Clare and Raki (although Teresa is still possible). I'm more eager to see undercovers though, in the second one (which is on one of the last pages) we might see Teresa.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Yes but are we having a chapter the end of this month??
BTW (am guessing for clare to live happy with raki she need to become it human so the blood an flesh of Teresa transplanted on clare need to to be reborn as a new entity of Teresa an am guessing Teresa won't kill Priscilla she will make her human too after all she's been portrayed as a victim too.

My guess for the Cover?
If it is the last volume then I imagine it to be a inversion from the first one. (The one with Clair holding the sword up and looking all grim and serious.)
I guess it will show a full body picture of Claire with her sword pointing down and into the ground, like a symbolic Grave marker, and we will see a faint smile over her face as she fully shows emotion and a expression of complete inner peace as she puts her old life to rest once Priscilla is gone.
If this is the case, then this will be a beautiful end to this story as it would not be any spoilerish yet still carry the full message of its contents.

But that´s just my guess.
What do you think?

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

That or something related to the fight as Priscilla surrounded by the ghosts.. Or maybe multi headed Priscilla.. Who knows but I want either Clare one or Priscilla vs the ghosts.. Maybe we will see Teresa like Goral mentioned.. But who knows.. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

Guys, could you please tell me whether it is just a rumor that Claymore will end or is there a confirmation about this from the author's part?

I think it's pretty obvious from the tone of everything that it's ending very soon. My impression, however, is that this is the nice, normal kind of end which happens when a story has said what it has to say and it's nothing to get upset about. All good things come to an end, Claymore is no exception to this rule.

Incidentally, does anyone know the Jump SQ release date?

Re: Claymore Hang-out Thread

JUMP SQ is typically sold on the 4th. But the next issue will be sold on the 2nd of May.

I'm confused o_O If it's typically sold on the 4th, then why do we get chapters between the 26th and the 1st? Does it take the Manga Editors a month to make it publication ready? If so, fair enough not complaining, but then why aren't there a lot more spoilers?

Meanwhile illegal way of getting it makes you have it way before the rest.. This is what it meant..

Internet ethics: it's not wrong if there's no other way to get them and you buy the volumes later

Okay, now my question becomes "How do the Manga Editors get the raws so long before the release?" Do they have some subscriber contact who gets the chapters early? Do they have a mole at the publishing house?

Manga Editor a month to what? You mean the next chapter we should get next is actually from 30 days ago?
As you may know the manga magazines (just like any other books and magazines) are transported all over the country prior to the release dates, and there are convenient stores that put them up for sale before that date (thereby going against their contract, I presume lol.)

Exactly, which is obviously not happening hence the mild confusion.

Extremely convenient stores, I am grateful to them ^_^ That interpretation makes perfect sense and chances are Shueisha doesn't actually give a damn about early releases as long as they get sales.

Quite honestly, it doesn't seem like Priscilla is the claymores' greatest threat. It's those who were experimenting with humans and Dragon's kin, & if they are not destroyed they will just repeat the same thing on the same land or elsewhere. They could also make a comeback to erase every trace of their previous experiment that might in the future pose a threat to them. Even if Priscilla is defeated, if the "creators" of this whole mess weren't destroyed, the story would end in a unsatisfactory manner.

I don't think Yagi needs to resolve those questions. Claymore has always struck me as more focussed on people than geopolitics so I wouldn't be too bothered if he doesn't go there. Yes, this story takes place in a larger world, a world full of darker, more complex threats than any Our Heroes have faced thus far, but they've never been anything more than background detail. Ending the story at a place where Clare has beaten Priscilla and found a new reason to live and Miria has found peace through her overthrow of the Org ties up all the major threads of Claymore the manga. The story doesn't need to look at the bigger picture to be complete.

It would lend a nice note of ambiguity to things, tbh, like even if they defeat Priscilla with minimal casualties their country is still an anarchic conglomerate of villages; their nearest known neighbour is a large, military power decently close by with little reason to love them; and all the claymores now live in a world with no use for their skills. There's a long dark road ahead for the warriors and their country, even if we don't walk it with them.

Guess what! Today is the tenth anniversary of the theatrical release of the incomparable Mean Girls Thanks to my contest (which you should totally go vote in if you haven't already ). I find it difficult to think of anything that's not Claymore and/or Adobe Photoshop related so I've thrown together some gag strips to celebrate ^_^
