Claymore 103 - Review/Summary

Summary:

So this chapter starts where the last one ended. With Priscilla fighting Dauf. Fun fun, lots of action!

Priscilla is very nonchalant as usual, defending poorly, getting broken to pieces and even ask for a break. It was quite funny. While she is sitting down breaking to pieces she begins to remember her cutting off Teresa's head but she can't remember her face. She slowly beings to remember and she gets up quickly defeating Dauf.




Thoughts:

Enjoyed it. Was a great great chapter. I enjoy Priscilla's deadly, amazing, ridiculous strength and the story is well, enjoyable. At the moment the only thing that I'm a touch annoyed about is the fact it's a monthly release. I am very interested in the other part of the story, that being they are simply experiments and there is a real war going on. I want to know!  I can deal with waiting for now, but for only so long.

Doubt - Chapters 3-4

Summary

Early on in the chapter Eiji accuses Hajime of being the killer. His reasoning was that he doesn't like people who can see right through them. Interesting. Hajime insinuates that Eiji is the one that people should suspect being that  Yuu went missing when he went went to see where Eiji went off to. Eiji goes crazy and Mitsuki slaps him. Eiji prepares to punch Mitsuki in the face (woman beater!!), but Yuu sticks his face in the way.  The panel with Eiji's fist in Yuu's face is pretty funny. So he gets punched in the face and bleeds, then bleeds some more and passes out. Then we see that very Sawish panel of the bunny looking at screens.

When Yuu wakes back up he is in a different area. He was moved as everyone else began to explore. Eiji was locked away in a room after he didn't follow instructions and went off on his own and opened a door to a bathroom.  There is a little spat between the group over whether or not they overreacted to locking up Eiji. Yuu agrees but I do not believe he would have if he had a barcode like everyone else.

Yuu says that he has to go to the bathroom and when he does he begins to search his body for a barcode, which of course could not be found, because he doesn't have one.

They go off and find a room which Hajime opens. The room looks like a creepy abandoned hospital room. They continue through and find the man in the rabbit head! End of chapter 3.

So the chapter 4 starts off with where 3 left off, behind the man in the rabbit head! Yuu sneaks up behind the man and pokes him with a stick. He falls out of his chair and is unconscious. Mister Rabbit Head was shot up with lots of morphine. Yuu wonders what type of person he was and takes off his rabbit head. The man has a few scares on his face. Yuu begins to get paranoid when it is mentioned there is a door they would open with his barcode, which we all know doesn't exist.

The rabbit head man, who's now without his head wakes up and goes nuts and attacks Yuu. Yuu kicks him and he spits up some blood. Hajime discovers a thumbtack inside of the mask which he suspects had a fast attacking posion in the case the mask was taken off. Yuu begins to feel guilty saying he's killed the man but Hajime assures him it would have happened anyway being that one of them would have taken off the mask.

In the end the game hasn't ended, dun dun dun.

Thoughts:

Great chapters, good volume. I enjoyed it. Eiji is a bit annoying. He's just... stupid and reacts based on emotions too much. It wouldn't be so bad if his emotions weren't so out of whack. I prefer Hajime, he's probably one of my favorite characters. He's logically and calculated, reminds me of myself.

Later this week, or next week volume 2 will be reviewed.

Doubt - Chapter 1

Summary:

The manga starts by telling us what the game is. Rabbit doubt. The game consist of several people who are all rabbits but one of them is actually a wolf who kills rabbits. The game group decides to meet in person in this chapter.

Yuu and Mitsuki are the first to meet. Yuu seems like a pretty normal person with no particular outstanding qualities or odd personality traits. Mitsuki seems rather bubbly. When Yuu is rushing to get to the meeting spot he bumps into the tough guy of the seires. Eiji. He's rather rude and says things he really shouldn't he's a drinker and a smoker. Overall stereotypical bad/tough guy. Akechi Haruka seems rather laid back.

While they're all together Eiji starts smoking which prompts Mitsuki to go over and snatch the cigaret out of his mouth. Tell him "no smoking until 20!" She's the child of a cop and has been a class representative since elementary school, so she "has a high sense of seriousness." The last of their group, Rei, a shy girl in a wheel chair comes. Instantly Eiji goes and hits on her, finding her very cute. Yuu ask if he's seen her before and she says no. They all decide to go to a karaoke bar. Yuu ends up alone with Rei and learns that she's really Saimin Shoujo, a famous hypnotise. She doesn't want anyone to know about her past but Yuu was speaking too loudly and it gets out in the room. Eiji exposes her for what she did, which was apparently lying and using easy to trick guys. Rei says she just tried to run away from everything, when she did she got hit by a truck. Eiji leaves to go to the bathroom after having a few too many drinks. Yuu goes to look for him but can't find him, instead he finds a person in a bunny suite who hits him over the head with a wrench. When he wakes up he's in a room with Mitsuki and some guy. He goes to a room that has a slightly open door. When he turns on the light he sees Rei with a stake through her heart.

Thoughts:

I liked the first chapter. It was quite interesting. The action really begins in the second chapter I'm guessing since well, we've just been introduced.
