Claymore Manga to Continue — Jump Square Editors

Claymore
On May 30th, the editors of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine posted a sample image of the 22nd manga volume of Norihiro Yagi's dark fantasy manga Claymore, which indirectly confirms the return of the manga.

The wraparound jacket band on the volume has the standard blurb, “Hit series now running in Jump Square (on sale on the 4th of every month)!!” Volume 22 will be released on June 4th.

Even though the most recent manga chapter ended with the text “Claymore — Owari” (Claymore — End), Italian publisher Star Comics stated that the manga will still continue regularly.

Claymore took place in a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise. The humanity's only hope is a new breed of warrior known as Claymores — silver-eyed girls who are half-human half-Yoma to the predators for a fee. But the more the Claymores call on their supernatural strength, the closer they come to losing their human sides forever.
