This is your basic monsters vs hero story. Claymore introduces a world where the bad guys (yomas) are monsters and the good guys (Claymores) are actually gals and they are half-monsters as well. It is also a buddy traveling story, introducing the unlikely friendship between a Claymore, Clare, and a young human boy she saves, Raki.
I liked this story. Although the premise seems hackneyed and unoriginal, there is enough here that is done well to keep you interested throughout the story, and there are hints of things to come that may prove to break this story out of the cliched hero vs villain mode. A big plus, the sidekick Raki isn't a useless, whiny excuse for a character, but actually has some backbone to him. Also, I'm looking forward to finding out more about how the Claymores are created and how they differ from the human girls from whom they are created.
