Summary:
In true anime fashion, this is a story where demons roam the land and half-demon, half-human heroes are charged with protecting humanity (Demon Slayer, Tokyo Ghoul, etc). Set in medieval times, the theming is Western inspired. Claymores’, the half demon heroes, wear large pauldrons and wield long, broad swords. Akin to The Witcher, Claymores’ are stigmatized, but serve humanity by being dispatched to kill Yoma (full demons) by “The Organization” for a fee.
