Shonen Jump Advanced

I first discovered this particular title in a Shonen Jump preview. I liked it, but I wasn't sure if I liked it enough to buy it. I did end up buying it though as a last resort. The bookstore didn't happen to have any of the titles I wanted in stock that day so I bought the first two volumes of Claymore instead. Eversince I just can't stop buying them. Originally I thought Claymore was a little mainstream plot wise, but as the storyline progressed it got a whole lot complicated. The author really started to explain what Claymores really are and Clare's bloody past. It was interesting. In the last couple volumes of Claymore it really gets really interesting and even more difficult to put down. You are introduced to 3 more claymores, Miria, Helen, and Deneve. The 3 of them plus Clare are sent to take care of an awakened one. After all is said and done the one thing all three of these claymores have in common is that they all have almost awakened. What's said after that is what really catches you off guard. It is an awesome read. The art style is also beautiful. It has a nice tone, balance and, look to it. I would defiantly reccomend this title and if you get the chance I'd reccomend the new anime that just came out for this title.
