In a world where Yoma monsters prey on humans in disguise, humanity's only defense is the Claymores—warriors who are half human and half monster, struggling to control their savage impulses. The series follows their battles against Awakened Beings, former Claymores who have lost control of their Yoma powers, and the Organization that created them. Central themes include the conflict between humanity and monstrosity, the cost of war, and the enduring struggle for survival.
Originally written in Japanese, Claymore is published by Jump Comics and serialised in Monthly Shōnen Jump. The books are illustrated by Norihiro Yagi.
