SERIES PREMISE

The setting of the story features a fictional world where towns are abundant and Humans live in coexistantence with demons called ''Yoma''. The Yoma consider humans as their main source of food, and are capable of concealing themselves among human society until they strike.

In response to this horrific threat, a group of skilled warriors formed a un-named organization for defending against the demons. Due to their immense Claymore weapons, the people came to call them "Claymores". To combat the demons, the "Claymores" have willingly infused themselves with demon blood, becoming half-human hybrids. The organization hires out their warriors for profit, answering calls from needy villages. The story of ''Claymore'' follows the adventures of a beautiful Claymore warrior named Claire, as she fights demons and struggles to hold on to her humanity.
