Fantasy adventure, about half-human woman who hunts shape-shifting creatures, launched in 2001

The October issue of Shuiesha's Jump Square magazine is announcing on Thursday that the "grand finale" of Norihiro Yagi's Claymore manga series will appear in the following issue on October 4.

The fantasy adventure manga, which follows a half-human woman who hunts shape-shifting yōma creatures in a medieval land, launched in 2001. Jump Square had listed the series as ending in 2012, but later confirmed that was a misprint.

The series' 26th volume went on sale in Japan on June 4. Viz Media will release the 25th volume in North America on November 4. The manga inspired a 26-episode anime series in 2007 and Funimation released the anime series in North America in 2008.
