I liked the ending. But it really leaves many questions behind. The manga is great anyway, if you see that Claymore has a primary focus over Clare-Priscilla-Teresa, then you had the true ending, but I still believe that with it Yagi brings us some spin off for the other stuff.



Anyways, started reading last year and was a good ride. Thanks for an amazing manga ;).

There's still so much loose ends which made the story doesn't look completed.....

I read the whole thing during the last few days and I have to say that I was disappointed. Early on, this was pretty much the best manga I had ever read - The arcs were short and the pace was fast. The characters were great and there was a ton of mystery surrounding them, from Rifel's motives to the conspiracy of Pieta or the existence of male Awakeneds or perhaps the best moment of them all, priscilla's awakening and Teresa's death. The reveals were great and plentiful. All the arcs before the timeskip were absolutely incredible, from the characters to the events to the strategies used.



After the timeskip, it was okay for some time as well but then the exploration and mysteries and interesting characters just stopped or it became difficult to care for the characters. The downfall probably begun around when they introduced the zombies - the most boring enemy imaginable that accomplished nothing but got rid of some of the best characters. The removal of all the best characters combined with Priscella's OPness that made all the fights feel meh. A common theme was that we were teased by amazing possibilities but what actually happened was absurdly meh. Giant reveals like the mainland that were not followed through on. Teresa at the end felt absurdly asspull even though she is my favorite character. Pacing really was awful overall near the end as well - instead of amazing 7 chapter, content packed arcs like before, the arcs were super dragged out and I often found mysrlf skipping through the fights when they always were so interesting before.



The thing that probably bothers me the most though is the Claymore weapon reveal that gave a mysterious scifi feel, but that was not ever even mentioned again. Overall, great promises and potential that were sadly followed through very disappointingly.
