Claymore Chapter 111 Discussion

I remember when the one thing I admired most about Yagi's work was the art. But it's so sloppy now.



Some parts are well drawn, whereas others just look completely rushed. A lot of facial deformation and incorrect body posture. It was hard for me to even continue reading it because all I could think about was the lack of effort put into the art in comparison to previous chapters. [volumes 8-12] As well, it seems Yagi is running out of ideas for awakened beings. They all look like recycled versions of past ones.



Anyhow, it was slow paced. I believe Claymore's highest peak is over. Tragic. And I was actually beginning to get intrigued again when they involved the other continent and their plan against the organization, but the absence of the main character and the death of Miria ruined that.

I think they pulled off the flying style explanation very well. Anyways Anastasia is badass and it looks like she might actually become an ally of our main characters. (Also that last panel was just awesome)

This chapter didn't do much for me. Also, I thought some of the drawings were less good than I'm used to of Claymore.

short somewhat uninteresting chapter. wth kinda name for a girl is Nike? the pacing is getting slower and slower.



I think It's more "Nikki" than Nike... just different translation? kkkk```

Seems like they're going to collect another members to join their rebellion...

Sigh... such a meh chapter, I think claymore is starting to decline a little.



Starting? It has been constantly declining for months.

Nothing much to say this chapter, it appears that there is going to be a plague of these Awakened beings thanks to the previous arc.  I almost can't believe that they're actually gonna fight their way through all that.

Bad chapter, all this could have happaned in less than 10 pages. Anastasia's ability is stupid now, it would be so much more cool if she could, like, materialise a small ammount of yoki beneath her feet and use it to jump or send a "blast" of yoki trough her body gaining more momentum while in the air. Something else that doesn't involves her hair. It's fabulous, we got that, move on.

well this chapter was good enough for what it was made. It showed the gaps between the ghosts and current claymores perfectly [...].



Not really. The little group of new claymores was caught off-guard, they didn't know that the awakened people are comming and didn't notice the ghosts until they were standing right next to them, while Deneve and co. were prepared and surprise-attacked both groups. But you're of course right about the ghost's power, but that was noted a few times already: while meeting Riful for the first time after the time-skip, while helping Dietrich fighting off an awakaned, Miria beating up every claymore in the organisation, more or less, so your justification is not enogh to make this chapter passable.

Claymore has been awesome, and has gotten more and more awesome with every chapter. Claymore is the furthest it's ever been from being boring, with this latest ch release. How can you be bored, when the previous ch, 110, dropped a bunch of bombshells on us, that NO ONE saw coming!?

Just a bridge filling the gap between november and january issue? Because aside from some not very important fight this chapter didn't offer much.

Unless there is something so important about those male AB or whatever they were that giving them a month of a time was justified.

Sigh... such a meh chapter, I think claymore is starting to decline a little.

only 23 pages?!!!!
