Claymore: Darkness in Paradise, Vol. 2 (Claymore #2)
A Claymore - a female warrior named for the sword she carries - travels from medieval village to village to destroy Yoma, monsters who disguise themselves as humans and who are almost impossible to kill. Claymores are half-humans, half-demons who willingly transformed themselves by mixing their blood with monster's blood. Claire, nicknamed silver-eyed killer, is such a pow...more

Claymore, Vol. 2 / 9781421506197
I've actually watched the complete Claymore anime first before getting into the manga; when I started deconstructing the incredible anime series on my blog, a kind reader was nice enough to mail me the first five manga volumes as supplemental material. I wasn't sure how closely the anime followed the source material, but so far it's been a very close match, with some extra (and delightful) details available in the manga.

Volume 2 of Claymore is much more intense, with a cliffhanger ending that makes me want the next book now.
Clare and Raki enter a holy town where the Claymore is forced to work with diminished senses. Trying to remain undercover while hunting a Yoma is made even more difficult by the elite soldiers who hope to contain the threat themselves.
I like the direction this is taking with Clare and Raki's relationship. It humanizes a warrior who could have otherwise seemed flat. It als...more

Que estaba a mano
Cuando leí el tomo 1 me quejaba de que me parecía un buen manga pero de esos que se toman demasiado tiempo para todo. Este tomo no me parece peor que el anterior pero como vuelve a caer en el mismo estiramiento, al punto de ni siquiera terminar la historia que da título al tomo en el mismo libro, lo promedio para abajo. Pero no es un mal manga, sigue estando bien narrado, bien dibujado (pese a MUCHAS pifiadas anatómicas de lo más notables) y dan ganas de seguir leyendo un poco más. Lástima que s...more
I liked the second volume of Claymore better than the first. Here we got some actual plot, in the sense that Claire and Raki were put on a stealth mission to the holy city of Rabona. In order to defy the city rules that nothing impure can enter the city, including half-youma, Claire suppresses her powers and uses Raki as a decoy. No one would suspect a Claymore to have a kid brother, after all. Unfortunately, things get bad and Claire is hounded by both the city guards and the youma she's fi...more
The art style in this is - strange. Not bad, just - strange. That's really all I remember about it. The art style was strange, I loved the little kid with... Jean was it? I've forgotton her name, it's been that long. I liked the mystery and the skulking and how the people in the city were idiotic enough to keep up the prejudice of NO CLAYMORES ALLOWED even when they were being picked off one by one. I also think I shipped the knight and the knife-throwing bastard. I have no excuse. I picked it u...more
The Claymore named Claire went to the the royal city with her cook Raki she is to face a verasi eater and slay it. It was not easy because she can't sent a yoma because of the pills she is taking. The pills she is taking change the color of her eyes so she dosen't look like a claymore you see claymores are not aloud in royal city. As she fights the big yoma she gets hurt really bad will she ever awake from her sleep?
Gripping and beautifully drawn story
Called to the holy city where demon and Claymore alike are loathed. Clare is asked to the cathedral itself to where the Yoma is hiding. The problem is that to infiltrate the city Claire must lose her silver eyes but the drugs that enable this also effect her ability to sense Yoma...

Buon manga, ottime ambientazioni, ottimi paesaggi, ma devo dire che i personaggi mi hanno creato un bel po’ di problemi data la loro somiglianza(sono praticamente disegnati tutti allo stesso modo).
E’ stata una piacevole lettura, mi ha permesso di immergermi in un mondo che richiama molto il fascino medioevale, mi sono appassionata alle vicende della protagonista, Claire, al suo spirito di sacrificio e di abnegazione tipico degli antichi samurai.

Even as far as sidekicks go, Raki is impossibly dull. And Yagi's art is so stiff that Clare looks more like a doll than a warrior in a lo of panels. I think it's the odd contrast being the heavy lines used to outline figures and the finer lines used for details.
Whaak Yaag GAAAAAAh Splash Sigh GAGA!
LOL most of the things i've read in this manga r the above. I mean comon, i understand that this is manga, but have some decency! LOL GAGAGA!? really?! y iz she everywhere D:

This second Claymore volume continues chronicalling the adventures of the Claymore Clare who is still traveling with Raki, a human boy whom she has saved from death by yoma monsters. This volume introduces more of Clare's abilities as she is challenged by a new type of yoma, and also demonstrates Raki's loyalty and love for Clare.

I really like it despite knowing how the story will go (because I already watch the anime). It's a kick-ass manga. Can't wait to read more.
I liked the plot overall.you get to know more about Clare as the story starts to shape finally.it was better than the first volume I think.
regardless of some X-rated material this story is outstanding to its core messages ! after Manga vol 10 watch animation
Still not digging the art style... all round heads and google eyes... but I am LOVING the story. What a cliffhanger!
Yeaaaah, boy. I'm going to enjoy this series.

:DDDDDDDd
What happened at this book is that a Yoma entered the holy city of France and In a cathedral and Clare have to find him without using her powers. a thrilling read and stpry that I enjoyed.
Lot of action and interesting developments. Also Norihiro begins to flesh out the world of Claymore.
Interesting concept and storyline, but I'm not a huge fan of the artwork.
