Ophiuchus's manga / #C Dark Fantasy 少年漫画(8)

I initially watched the anime before reading the manga. Everything about the anime series was beautiful - from the arts, animation, to OSTs, Character Designs, and even the seiyuus. It was an emotional ride.

I read up to ch 3 (last update was 12 years ago - now is 2023.

Manga (2001-14): 27v 155c + xtra scene 5 Anime (2007): 26 Note: The scanlated Extra Scene 5 Warriors' Dawn was never collected into a volume unlike the other 4. In a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise, humanity's only hope is a new breed of warrior known as Claymores. Half human, half monster, these silver-eyed slayers possess supernatural strength but are condemned to fight their savage impulses or lose their humanity completely.

While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and, along with Rukia - who is slowly regaining her powers - it's Ichigo's job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.
