Hice una reseña hace tiempo en mi blog cuando todavía no terminaba la publicación de la historia y la pueden encontrar en este link: https://entredospulmones. Best example I can think of: I have the Death Note All-In-One Edition as well as all 6 Black Editions. It's a lot of ideas you've seen before in anime and Japanese stories, it has a sense of atmosphere and it's artwork progressively becomes evangelical. I do believe the books can be straightened by applying something heavy on top of them, but I do not know how to make the plastic stick to the cover on the Illustrations art book, any advice? Además, parece que Yagi está siendo cada vez más explicativo con cómo funciona la magia en Claymore, expandiendo las reglas pero jugando con elementos que ya conocemos, de esa forma se mantiene la sensación de descubrimiento constante pero sin que nos sintamos estafados con poderes o reglas de la nada.

The first half of the series is great with amazing artwork, pacing, action, world building and introduction of the main antagonists.

I remember reading this manga 10 years ago - then I lost interest because it started coming out once a month. The action is also excellent, clear, and breakneck although it can be a tad too indulgent in shounen tropes for something with such a downbeat, sober tone (a lot of named abilities, transformations soliloquies about tactics, constant power / threat escalation). The conflicts, particularly the fight scenes get repetitive, the character interactions grow rather dull due to cliche dialogue, thus making the characters themselves feel one-dimensional at times, and the plot drags due to poor pacing and info dumps. While the formula was rather simple, I think that the script was executed really well which made it that much more of an enjoyable read. It has such a cool premise: half-monster half-human warriors hunting monsters while struggling not to lose their own humanity.

The story is filled with twists and turns, with unexpected alliances and betrayals that keep you on the edge of your seat. creo que podría haber sido mejor si los lectores hubieran tenido más pistas para deducirla ellos mismos. El primer tomo queda como una entretenida introducción a este mundo que parece querer contar una historia ambientada en una época medieval alejándose de las convenciones de representar el machismo que ya todos conocemos, no está nada mal, aunque me falta leer más para terminar de recomendarla.The story covers a very wide range of topics, trauma, abandonment, eugenics, childhood abuse, the forming of bonds, overcoming struggles together, the way others impart themselves in us when they are close and dear to us. However, the death of one of the characters that I just began to have an interest in was underwhelming and disappointed which made me stop reading for a while. Los dibujos de los ambientes y las ciudades han mejorado muchísimo respecto a los primeros tomos, ahora están llenos de detalles pero al principio parecía que no tenían fondo.
