Plot
In a world where humans coexist with creatures called Yoma (妖魔?) sentient vampiric monsters that feed on human innards, a nameless and highly secretive organization has created an order of dhampir-like, half-human, half-yoma warriors to protect humans from the yoma, for a large fee. The people of this world have dubbed these warriors as "Claymores" based on their gargantuan, unsheathed swords, or the "Silver Eyed Witches", based on their appearance and seemingly cold nature toward others.
After the death of her motherly figure, Teresa, at the hand of Priscilla, Clare voluntarily joins the Organization to seek vengeance. In a small town terrorized by a yoma, she meets and befriends a kind-hearted, albeit naive, young man named Raki. In Rabona, the largest city of the land, Clare is pushed past her yoki limits and "saved" at the last minute by the effect of Raki's feelings towards her on her psyche. Afterwards Clare's fighting abilities increase remarkably, and shortly afterwards she is assigned to hunt an Awakened Being, a being that resulted from the awakening of a Claymore. When she meets her hunting teammates, she is confronted for being late and bringing Raki. Two of her teammates, the rambunctious Helen, and the confrontational Deneve, take a dislike to her. The team leader, the Organization's #6, "Phantom" Miria, stops the confrontation and asks all of them to state their ranks and experience with hunting Awakened Beings.
Clare finds herself outranked by not only Miria, but also #15, Deneve, and #22, Helen. When she discloses that she is ranked 47th, Helen tells Raki that this means that Clare is the weakest of all active Claymore warriors and mocks her. On the hunt they find the Awakened Being, which surprise attacks Miria, wounding her. He is far stronger than Miria was informed to expect, and quickly knocks Clare, Helen and Deneve from the fight. This is despite the fact that Helen and Deneve are using abilities beyond the limits of the vast majority of warriors, like unusually great regeneration (Deneve) and limb-stretching abilities (Helen). Miria is about to be tortured to death when Clare recovers and uses her yoki reading abilities and improved combat abilities to turn the tide against the Awakened Being. Miria escapes and together kills the male Awakened Being with Clare.
Afterwards Miria asks Helen and Clare if there were any moments where they had almost awakened. They both confirm they had, and Miria declares that they have actually all passed their yoki limits and returned back, something which should be impossible. She declares that all of them have in fact "awakened." At that moment they are being spied upon by the Organization's Number 3, Galatea, a warrior who excels in long-distance and thorough yoki sensing. Galatea notes that both Helen and Clare are disturbed by what Miria has said, though Clare is hiding it while Helen is arguing about it. As Miria reveals, instead of awakening into monsters by surpassing their yoki limits, the four of them, including Deneve, have all partially awakened. This state is just short of awakening, and allows them to retain their human consciousness while vastly increasing their ordinary yoki limits in combat. Deneve, who suffered what would have been a fatal wound, tests Miria's theory and surpasses her yoki limits to regenerate her body. Galatea senses that Deneve has awakened and tells her superior, the agent Ermita.
But Deneve pulls herself back and returns her yoki to normal. Galatea, shocked, tells Ermita, who claims to be watching the four out of a parent's concern for his children, that she was mistaken about Deneve awakening. They leave just as Miria begins to tell her suspicions of them being sent on a mission they couldn't win so that they would die. After questioning it becomes apparent that all four warriors were considered troublemakers (excepting Miria) and had nearly awakened. Miria tells them she has learned of the Organization's secret, which is something that upon the others' learning of it would mean no return to its service. However she refuses to tell them what this secret is, instructs them to purge their reputation of being troublemakers. She also shows them the signs of the top five (#1 Alicia, #2 Beth, #3 Galatea, #4 Ophelia and #5 Rafaela), all of whom are far beyond their abilities, which she estimates to actually be around that of warriors ranked #6 (herself) through #9. She especially warns them about #4, Ophelia, who is renowned for her sadistic and bloodthirsty nature. The four then leave and depart ways as friends.
Clare returns to Raki and they travel together until they meet #4 Ophelia on another Awakened Being hunting mission. Ophelia, smelling Clare's partial awakened body, questions whether she is a comrade. Raki, who was secretly following, attempts to protect Clare. Instead he is used as a pawn in a sadistic game devised by Ophelia. She manages to heal herself in time to rescue Raki from the clutches of the Awakened Being who she was supposed to be hunting alongside with Ophelia. However, in order to do so, she has to surpass her limits, and Ophelia pledges to kill two awakened beings, Clare and the one in front of her. Clare takes Raki and runs while Ophelia fights the Awakened Being, which she kills. Clare, just before parting with Raki for his own safety, promises to find him if she survives. After defeating Ophelia with the help of Ilena, Clare goes on the run from the Organization, despite her earlier plans not to.
She is nearly out of yoki-concealing pills when she lodges in a small town near a mountain range. There she discovers an Awakened Being hunting team consisting of one "Single Digit" (a warrior ranked from #1 through #9) and three lower ranked subordinate warriors. They leave and Clare resumes her search for Raki when one of them staggers into town hideously injured. Clare then goes into the mountains to rescue the others, who have all been captured. She is confronted by a massive Awakened Being named Dauf, a former #3 who is from the Organization's early days of male Claymores. Clare is about to be killed when the #3, Galatea, shows up having been sent on a mission to find Clare. Numerous battles ensue while Dauf's Awakened companion Riful watches, and eventually Clare rescues the #9, Jean, and prevents her from awakening and turning into a monster. Together with Galatea and Clare, Jean manages to triumph over Dauf.
Just as Jean is about to kill him, his companion, the even more powerful but deceptively child-like Riful, intervenes. Riful is a former #1 warrior who awakened, and is called an Abyssal One by the Organization. Together with two other #1 warriors that awakened, she makes up the ranks of the three rival Abyssal Ones, the greatest of the Awakened Beings. Clare cuts Riful, who then transforms into her enormous Awakened form. As she promised Clare earlier, she rewards Clare with the information that Priscilla, killer of Clare's beloved Teresa, is the underling of the Abyssal One of the North, Isley. Riful reveals that she intended to capture Claymore warriors in order to create her own Awakened Being army to counter Isley's growing might. But with someone strange nearby watching her, Riful decides to depart instead of forcing Clare and her companions to awaken and be her subordinates.
Galatea, in her sympathy, leaves Clare and Jean to report back to the Organization instead of capturing Clare. Clare continues her search for Raki, this time followed by Jean, who has decided she owes Clare a life-debt she cannot otherwise repay but by following her. But Clare's plan of reuniting with Raki is disrupted by the agent Rubel of the Organization, who informs her that Isley, Abyssal One of the North, is amassing an army of Awakened Beings. Unwillingly, she is sent to the north along with twenty-three other Claymores and is coaxed into it by Rubel declaring that Raki had been captured by slave traders and sent north as well. Knowing full well that they have been ordered on a suicide mission, Clare and her comrades come up with a plan to feign their own deaths and go into hiding with the help of Yoki suppression pills. Despite their efforts, only seven Claymores, including Clare, the group's commander, #6 Miria, #14 Cynthia, #15 Deneve, #22 Helen, #31 Tabitha and #40 Uma survive the brutal battle.
After hiding seven years with the other six survivors, Clare finds evidence Raki survived and convinces her comrades to travel south with her to look for him. However the other survivors' main aim, under the command of Miria, is to overthrow the Organization that betrayed them. After rescuing the fortified city of Rabona from an Awakened Being, the group hears about the secret of the Organization that Miria had been previously keeping from them. She reveals that the Organization's goal to protect humans from yoma is a sham to cover up their experiments to create controllable awakened beings. These, she reveals, will be used to fight the Organization's off-island enemies, who have as their allies monstrous creatures called "Dragon-kin". The purpose of the Organization is nothing less than developing controllable awakened beings to fight the Dragon-kin, for which purpose the island serves as their "lab". However Miria knows little of the outer world, revealing that it consists of lands outside the island where two sides are battling for supremacy.
Soon after the battle Clare learns that Raki was in Rabona the year before with a small girl, which troubles her. Unknown to Clare, this girl is none other than her archenemy, Priscilla. Clare then leads a group of survivors west to find Raki and along the way meets Rubel, her former handler. He reveals that he suspects that Riful, the Abyssal One of the West, has captured Renee, the "Eye" (long-range yoki detector) of the organization to obtain something. It is revealed that this is likely "Rafaela's shell", the body of Rafaela, who was equal to her sister, the awakened number one, Luciella. After learning that Riful is attempting to awaken Rafaela and make her an ally, Cynthia, another survivor, correctly guesses that Rubel is in fact a spy. He urges them to attempt to destroy the organization, save Rafaela, and warns them not to let the organization find out about their partially awakened members.
Two of the other survivors, Helen and Deneve, head south from Rabona and discover the existence of Abyss Feeders, part human/part awakened being hybrids assigned to kill Isley, the reigning Abyssal One of the North. After a long fight with the Abyss Feeders, Isley falls in battle. Soon after the Organization unleashes more Abyss Feeders and warriors No 1 and 2, identical twin sisters Alicia & Beth, in the west. Their orders are to find and kill Riful before she awakens Rafaela and destroys the island's balance of power.
Clare enters the consciousness of Rafaela and the two engage in a mental battle that takes the form of a duel. Despite having grown incredibly in power, Clare is outmatched by Rafaela. After defeating Clare in the mental battle, Rafaela reveals that Renee's and Clare's intrusion into her mind has caused it to be reconstructed, and since she is no longer dormant she is starting to awaken to be a creature of extreme power. Clare decides to use one final technique, her most powerful, in order to stop Rafaela. Releasing her yoki for the first time in seven years, Clare gathers it in her right arm and unleashes her Quick Sword.
As her mind is destroyed, Rafaela pours all her memories, emotions and knowledge into Clare. Rafaela gives everything that she possesses, everything that made her what she is, and her entire life to Clare. A new Awakened Being, more powerful than any Abyssal One before her, is born. Its form is that of two goddess statues with dark wings atop a massive mound of awakened flesh. Shortly after its "birth" the Abyssal One of the West, Riful, is surprise attacked by a group of Abyss Feeders. After losing an arm and part of her head, Riful gains the upper hand until confronted by the Organization's anti-Abyssal warriors, Numbers 1 & 2, the identical twin sisters Alicia and Beth. Alicia immediately awakens and nearly kills Riful before she has time to awaken her body. Dauf loses an arm defending Riful from Alicia, but makes up for it by targeting the non-moving Beth, who controls the soul link and by extension, her sister's awakened body. This causes Alicia's speed to drop, but Beth escapes harm.
Clare in the meantime is sensing the fight and remarking on how far the sisters have come in seven years. She then realizes it is not her own memory, but that of Rafaela's. Suddenly the enormous Awakened being that resulted from Luciella & Rafaela's merger attacks Clare with a tentacle, but she narrowly escapes. Clare refers to it as a "simple Destroyer", and shortly thereafter it expels a mass of awakened flesh from its mouths. It forms a massive ring above its heads with pointed objects on its outside. Clare is confronted by Helen and Deneve just as she senses the Destroyer is about to launch these objects into the air. She saves them from harm, and Clare comments that the "real hell is about to begin" as the objects smashed into the ground around them begin to awaken into miniature monsters. Riful and Dauf, in contrast, get hit by numerous projectiles, badly injuring them. Alicia scaped the projectiles, but Beth didn't, causing Alicia to lose her awakened form. Uma runs for her life with an exhausted Cynthia in her arms. Beth gets hit in the stomach by the projectile, which proves to be parasitic, contaminating her. Riful in her human form carries Dauf, who is still too injured to walk. She realizes she can't grow her arm back. She nearly dies when confronted by the Abyss Feeders, but Alicia kills them (for unknown reasons). The final page shows Helen, Deneve and Clare about to face the many awakened beings that sprouted from the projectiles.
