Claymore: The Imperfect Trailblazer
I also believe that Attack On Titan and The Promised Neverland were influenced by CLAYMORE
Omg gurll we have the same thoughts, as soon as Ive read or the story revealed that there was much more than the continent they were currently living in, and that the outside world has ongoing wars and that they were only experiments to aid that war, I was like "is this what inspired AOT's plot twist?" Like the way I gaspedd when I connected the two
That this manga came out the same year as Fullmetal Alchemist is seemingly so unheard of these days. I can see so much of this manga in series like bleach, attack on titan, and my hero academia. Its like the awakened were rewritten into the arancar, the setting was reused by attack on titan, and izuku uses the same power siphoning to one body part. I know a lot of stories are derivitizations of previous stories, but its so interesting to finally read this manga and see such a strong "node" in this genre- Especially seeing that the node was such a strong, female-centered story!
