Claymore, Volume 3 Book

This volume has probably one of the best character's introductions I've ever read.

Teresa is the most powerful claymore there is, and unlike Clare, she always shows a faint smile on her face whenever she's killing yoma. One time, she goes into a mission and kills 7 yoma in a matter of minutes, but in the aftermath of the job, a little orphan girl follows her around, even when she kicks her to the ground, so she won't follow her.

And you might wonder who that is? Of course is young Clare, the little kid who was so hungry and so dehydrated, she almost dies until Teresa kind of takes care of her, as if she were a pet. Truth be told, this flashback is a bit heartbreaking because the only reason Clare followed Teresa was because "she had the same sad eyes as her. She looked as she been hurt so much, she couldn't handle it."

I always love this trope: when some tough, badass, unbeatable character opens their heart to the most unexpected person.

And, not only do we get a female badass character right there, but someone who means a breaking point in Clare's growth. Honestly, I don't remember much of the anime, but I know her story did not end up well, and that hurts me a little bit more than it probably should.

Still, this manga has improved so damn much, I really can't stop reading. These volumes are far too short and I'm eager to know what happens next!
