Manga: Claymore

[Death BOO Z]

damn, this chapter was awsome...
Isely is really wicked...
I wonder if the rest of the hellish trio could transform to a third yoma form. After the fight with lucelia I thought they only have two forms of yoma release, but now it seems like Isely has a third one (1. Human with bow. 2. Centuar with human face. 3. demon centaur). we still need to see Riful going all out against someone..

I'm still confused about the timeline, how long was it since Pris changed to the time she met with Isely? and how long did they wait before going to the south?

There's no much way to tell how long it was between her Awakening and meeting with Isley. Certainly less than it took Clare to age. She cut a rather large swath across the land though, stopping by enough villages to kill Ophelia's family, and probably several other soon-to-be Claymores.

Long enough for both Riful and Isely to notice, as they had each mentioned her savagery, which must have been widespread and quite bad for their kind to notice. It doesn't seem like she and Isley waited too long after they joined together. They made the plans out right away, built forces, and started.

I'm more curious about how/when she lost her memory. It appeared her amnesia was in fact genuine. For now I'm guessing mental trauma.

what volume does the anime divert from the manga? Im going to start reading the manga soon, so if anyone can tell me I will greatly appreciate it.

[Ryllharu]

The plot diverges during volume 10. The Awakened Undine's team and Flora's team fought tries to make Undine and the others actually Awaken (not too different, but a subtle enough difference), but the large shift comes at the end of Scene 54, where Flora fights Clare. Jean does not interrupt them.

So start at volume 10 and you'll get a good recap.

But you will have missed one very short scene with Alicia. That occurs in volume 9 at the end of Scene 54.

[shinta|hikari]

Thanks a lot. Is the scene with Alicia interesting/important?

[Ryllharu]

Not particularly. You can summarize it in a sentence. Her handler asks if she can defeat Riful, she reports that she would destroy about 50% of her before dying and he announces she's the strongest in their annals (as the speaker wasn't named until he says that).

I've just caught up and finished volume 13, along with the 2 extra chapters. Good stuff, and I'm so glad that it's not ending soon like the anime.
