The mother and child characters were really annoying and unfortunately, they were the main focus of this volume.

Claymore is a manga about Yoma who pretend to be human in order to kill and eat the humans. The Claymore are the hybrid of the two stronger faster but still human with the ability to slay the Yoma which they do for a price. They travel from village to village slaying Yoma with nothing but the sword on their back using the Yoma abilities but slowly turning into a monster that they hunt. When the time comes a Claymore will send a black card to another claymore to be slain before the Yoma takes over and so they die as a human.
In the 14th installment the organizations sent its weakest warrior with the help of its new creation to take care of Galatea who’s left the organization seven years prior. They find her blind working with children in the holy city but before they can finish the mission an Awakened being who’s remained hidden appears forcing them into battle. However Galatea and Miata aren’t a match for Agatha. Will Clare and her team save the day or will they all be destroyed by Agatha?
I like Clare she’s a sword carrying slayer who isn’t afraid to die charging in risking her life. She may not survive every encounter but that doesn’t stop her from doing what has to be done protecting the humans. While most Claymore’s wouldn’t allow Raki to tag along she accepts him and maybe it’s partly because they are kindred but he needs her and she him to keep her humanity. I find Clare to be an intriguing character and can’t wait to see more about her back story as well as what’s going to happen next. We are given a little back story on Clare which introduces us to Teresa a Claymore whose life was changed by Clare.
I’ve seen all of the episodes on Netflix a few years ago actually binge watched them over a long weekend. I love the concept for the Claymore the hybrids created using parts from the monsters that they have been created to fight. While I am familiar with the story it’s interesting to see it play out as I read it. The art is great it gives me just enough to create the story in my head as I read each detailed page. This is only my 2nd manga so I don’t have a lot to go on but so far I’m super exited to read the series. Claymore is a fast paced loaded with action series that is captivating right from the start hard to put down till the last page. Can’t wait to start the next one in the series they just keep getting better. I feel like a voracious Reader because I can’t get enough.

Clarice and Miata search for and try to execute Galatea, a former single-digit who retired in a most unlikely place. Unfortunately, there's a big surprise on the horizon. Will they make the right choice?
This book also contains two extra scenes, and they are not important - one of them outshines the other, in my opinion: a story related to Clare's training.
Re-reading: I still feel the series is at a high level, and still the story moves nicely. The spotlight is on Galatea, who does the right thing, and Clarice and Miata, who fail by being too rigid, too obedient. It's a terrible and important lesson, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. It's frustrating to see Clarice and Miata fight Galatea when their focus should've been completely different.
The extras are pretty good as well - while not really sure about the story of Priscilla and Isley, the story about Clare's training is really nice, a very good standalone story.
