Hybrid warrior Clare and her comrades fight to protect their land from shape-shifting demons.
When a shapeshifting demon with a thirst for human flesh, known as "youma," arrives in Raki's village, a lone woman with silver eyes walks into town with only a sword upon her back. She is a "Claymore," a being manufactured as half-human and half-youma, for the express purpose of exterminating these monsters. After Raki's family is killed, the Claymore saves his life, but he is subsequently banished from his home. With nowhere else to go, Raki finds the Claymore, known as Clare, and decides to follow her on her journeys. As the pair travel from town to town, defeating youma along the way, more about Clare's organization and her fellow warriors comes to light. With every town cleansed and every demon destroyed, they come closer to the youma on which Clare has sought vengeance ever since she chose to become a Claymore.—MAL Rewrite
Man-eating monsters-the Yoma-stalk the land. The breed knows only one foe: Claymore. Human-Yoma hybrids of strength and cunning, these warrior women roam from fight to fight delivering salvation by the edge of a blade-for a fee. This is the tale of the Claymore called Clare. In a land where even predator is prey, her solitary path to vengeance unfolds.—Crunchyroll
The protagonist, Clare is a young member of the Claymores, a class of creature who is half human and half demons called Yoma , and whose quest in life is to fight against the full-breed Yomas -- hideous fiends who disguise as humans and feed ruthlessly on them.
The Claymores protect humans and fight against Yoma on behalf a mysterious organisation that created them and controls them. Clare's sole purpose in life and the reason for her becoming a yoma was to seek revenge for the loss that she faced when her loved ones were murdered by a yoma when she was a child and was abused and tortured by them till she was saved by a Claymore, Teressa, who was the strongest claymore alive then, to whom she got attached emotionally but who was later deceived and murdered and Clare must now avenge her death.
The organisation has a ranked hierarchy of claymore warriors based on their strength, Clare is the weakest as per the hierarchy but she constantly pushes her limits based solely on her will power and controls her demonic yoki powers like no one has done before and still manages to save her human side from being taken over and defeats the strongest of opponents. She fights to protect her friends selflessly risking everything for the sake of others.
