Claymore Complete Box Set

What can I say about this collection? The box is sturdy and beautiful to look at, the actual series is one of the best Manga available with likable and engrossing characters, great action, overall coherent world-building and I think also a satisfactory ending (some think that there were still some loose ends at the end, but personally I think that they either had a forgone conclusion, like the issue of remaining Yomas, or didn't really need further exposition, like the other continent business where I think the Claymores have little reason to interfere at all unless forced to). The collection also comes with an art book, which is always nice (I can't believe some of that art was actually cover-material, and I mean in a good way). Furthermore this collection is also a convenient way for a newcomer to catch up with the series: each volume costs around 10 dollars and there are 27 of them, meaning that hunting down each individual book might cost up to 270 dollars, while the collection currently costs much less than that while also offering a nice box and an art book. And it's complete! From beginning to end, the whole series. I'd suggest this series to any manga appreciator, especially people who liked Berserk (as both Claymore and Berserk share a dark fantasy setting with a love for depressive and tragic backstories), people who like more mature themed and somewhat violent manga (although violence is not really central, obviously there's a lot of violence but it's nothing I would call too graphic or gore-y) and people who after having watched the Claymore anime want to see how the story truly progressed after Pieta and truly ended (because the anime ending is really just an alternate ending made up on the spot to give that series some kind of conclusion, the manga was nowhere near finished back then so it was either that or no conclusion at all). And obviously also people who like badass women carrying giant swords!

The greatest manga series I’ve ever read. I couldn’t believe it when I saw they had the whole collection in one beautiful box. I loved it so much I bought one for myself and one for a friend so they could enjoy it as much as I did!! I don’t want to spoil anything in this review, however I’ll just give a broad synopsis of the story. The story focuses on humans and fierce creatures/monsters called yoma that prey on humans. Unfortunately for humanity, they have no way of fighting these creatures, which brings us to the Silver Eyed Witches, the Claymore. These fierce female warriors are not exactly human, and not exactly monster either. Somewhere in between, these beguiled warriors are humanity’s only hope of survival. Not everything is what it seems, and not everyone is as they appear to be. My favorite part of the story is that the female warriors were never overly sexualized. They didn’t wear skimpy bikinis or parade around nearly naked. They are all strong, independent, and very capable fighters who happen to also be women. If you want a story with strong female leads, climatic battles, and a captivating story with monsters, look no farther. Claymore has it all and some.

This box set is a must-have for Claymore fans! The entire saga is beautifully packaged, and the premium extras are a great bonus. The story itself is gripping from start to finish, with intense action, deep lore, and unforgettable characters. High-quality print and stunning artwork make this collection totally worth it for any manga lover like me!

It’s beautiful, I never knew such a thing existed. Claymore has been one of my absolute favorite anime series for years, and I never even thought to finish the rest of the story through the manga series. It opens up a whole lot more of the story and fills in a lot of the blanks from the anime. The anime is amazing and I wish that there were more seasons but reading it through the manga lens feels fairly intimate in a way I can’t explain. I was never quite satisfied with the ending in the anime and to see there is a different ending to that portion of the story, is gratifying. I’m not too big on reading mangas as I am in watching anime, which is why this is my first ever official and complete manga box set. I’m so happy that it’s this series and I feel very appreciative to the author, and all of those involved in the creation process of this rare gem. Absolutely stunning✨ Also, it comes exactly as described and looks even better in person. When you stand it up, the side of the box is Velcro for you to open and closed it at your leasure like a little cabinet. So don’t feel like you’re killing the box, I almost about cried myself then I realized it was velcro.

You will love it, great packaging and just feel happy by looking at it let alone getting to read it.

What a great purchase!! As a fan of Berserk I really wanted to get into Claymore and finally got the chance to do so. This box set is definitely on the heavier side with 27 amazing volumes and a little illustration book as a bonus. The box came a bit damaged on the back, as you can see in photo 2, but it's really no big deal. Definitely 5 star worthy. Can't wait to dive into this story

I began watching the anime and it was a hell of a story. Now having wondered into this collection of books that I did not know existed I was pleasantly surprised to discover them. I am looking forward to reading the whole series.

De los mejores collectors edition en formato impreso que he visto la caja tiene muy bonitos detalles. Y cubre y protege muy bien la coleccion. Nota que estan en ingles la obra pero me ahorra esperar años a que lo saquen en español aquien mexico. Y el precio segun cuando lo compre era de 90 pesos cada volumen. Que muy lo valen y sin mencionar la preciosa caja protectora y aparte tiene un artbook exclusivo. Y sin mencionar un excelente papel y cubierta para leer. Nota es la 14 impresion del manga. Para mi este producto Fue un callate y toma mi dinero Instantaneo. Altamente recomendable si eres fan de este manga.

Après avoir attendu des années que Glénat nous propose un coffret intégrale pour Claymore j'ai cessé d'espérer et craqué pour ce magnifique box set de chez WizMedia en version anglaise. J'ai réussi à l'avoir aux alentours de 115€ ce qui est presque 50% du prix initial, une affaire en or. L'édition est celle au format US/UK 27 tomes et un petit artobook collector en bonus dans un coffret cartonné solide avec scratch, reprenant le visuel de Claire le personnage principal. Un bel objet qui ravira les fans du manga pour sûr!

ممتاز جدا

Produto importado, em inglês e caro 🫰 Depois de muito esperar na lista, veio uma promoção q saiu a 23,70 reais cada volume (total de 27). Então se pensar desse lado, saiu bom o preço. A caixa em si é belíssima e forte, dentro parece uma mini estante. Sobre a obra em si, muito boa, parecida com Berserk. Arte realista e detalhada, história vai ficando mais complexa. (Geralmente Seinen tem essas características mesmo) Pra quem lê inglês dá certo, se não, não compre, cuidado !

Had to buy 2 because the first one I got’s plastic seal was damaged to the point that it was falling off and for the price and future collection, I wanted one that was in pristine condition. So after returning the first one and reading the second I can say that I love the story so far. I’m still not done but the characters are amazing (except for Raki). I love the way the story is progressing and even though the pace is kinda wacky in the beginning, it looks like it’s fixed itself up, and I hope the ending is just as good. Might even come back and give it a better review if the ending is good Highly recommend Edit: I finished it about a week ago and i still think about it every day. It’s sooooo good. The ending was perfect, everything made sense at the end, still wasn’t a fan of Raki, and I wish the ending was longer. After the finale, you see what everyone’s doing now, but only for like 2 panels each. My only wish is that the ending showed more panels for each characters ending. Other than that the story was beautiful, pacing was still a bit fast, and it seemed like every strong character was getting killed off by everyone except the main characters, so the fights weren’t as cool. But art, story, and the read was awesome
