Claymore has NOT ended + Databooks

Gene from TSS forums (the Gene who does Chinese scanlations of Claymore of great quality, even better than MS) and Mangahelpers forums has informed Mangahelpers community that Claymore has not ended..

I asked a friend of mind in Japan to contact the editorial Dept this morning, and Shueisha staff said the Claymore IS NOT ENDED and we could still expect the next chapter in the coming NEXT ISSUE!!!!

Later on another reader also called them to further confirm this info, and the editor replied that it was a Mistake and Claymore's story hasn't end!!!!

I Checked this on 2ch and found some similar replies from the Japanese reader, it seemed many have contacted the Shueisha and got the same answer.


You can thank Gene for this here: http://mangahelpers.com/forum/showthread.php/76198-Claymore-126-Discussion-127-Predictions/page28



On other news, I wanted to ask if there is someone who knows Chinese or Japanese willing to translate Claymore databooks? It's the only untranslated (to English) Claymore product left. Along with DragoZERO, Cyclone and possibly some more people we're trying to make it work however a skilled translator (preferably one who would translate from Japanese not Chinese) is needed for this. I know there is a ton of text but if it was done at a slow pace (like one page a week or rarer) maybe someone could find some time to do this? The first book has been partially translated and "only" pages 4-9, 13, & 15-22 are needed (numeration as in the file I'm presenting below). Databooks 2 and 3 for now are irrelevant, DragoZERO would like to finish what he started first. We also need cleaners and typesetters for this so if someone would like to help it will be much appreciated (and of course your name will be in the credits but that goes without saying).

Databooks:
Chinese version:
Databook 1 | Databook 2 | Databook 3

Japanese version:

  2. Excelente, agradecido por la informaciĆ³n que aclara el supuesto "final" de Claymore que no es tal. Siento un gran alivio.

    Excellent, thanks for the information that clarifies the supposed "end" of Claymore which is not. I feel a great relief.

    3. Well, among the loose images I've collected here and there, there are a Clare's profile and a Miria's one after the seven years in the north, in adittion both are translated. I couldn't find those among the three databooks, so where they come from?

      If there are Clare's and Miria's profiles after 7 year time skip they're definitely not official but fan made. Could you share these pictures though? I'm interested how they look like.

      @apokolypes
      I've answered you below in case you haven't noticed.

  6. Yagi you are such a troll playing an April fool joke on us on a different date than April 1st. Thank God for this news, now we can relax a little. If it had ended like that i imagine me in my death bed 50 years from now still regretting for dieing and never getting a good end to Claymore.

    Of course. You're the boss here because without you we only have pictures with incomprehensible letters. But if you could, we would be most grateful if you've started with Databook 1 and pages 4-9, 13, & 15-22 <=> [4,9] + {13} + [15,22] so 15 pages in all and if you would be willing to do more it would be awesome, if not you would still be our saviour.

    This numeration is practically the same for Japanese version and for Chinese one, just look at the (e.g. 004.jpg not 04.jpg).
    So it starts with "I-2" and you can use it as a reference point.

    Anyway, thank you in advance for any help, even if it's just 1 page.

    Hi, I'm SaberM (admin of ClaymoreFAN.org, an italian site about Claymore). I read about databooks project and I want to offer my help and support. My team has translated from japanese the first two databooks. We are also working on the third for our community. If you want, we can translate them in english.

    "We also need cleaners and typesetters for this so if someone would like to help it will be much appreciated"

    No problem, we can also provide this!

    If you are interested, please contact me by email :D

    I've sent you an email using gmx domain.

    @DragoZERO
    Why don't you want me to link to the project site? Do you really want me to delete the link which you've written yourself? Or have you not noticed that I've provided this link in my post and it was an irony? Please explain.

  13. I had no idea that Goral was a fan of the AWAKE tv show.
    Too bad it's getting canceled.

    Great to see Claymore isn't though. lol

    1. Yeah, Awake is a great show. Currently the best show on any network (including cable networks) IMO. I can't believe that such soap-operas like NCIS/Bones/The Mentalist can continue for this long and Awake was cancelled. Very under-appreciated series. Terriers and Rubicon were also such shows and of course Firefly (Fox will never disappear from my shitlist). Unfortunately your average coach potato prefers to watch how "stars" dance or how people sing or how someone in the military is killed... I liked both JAG and NCIS but both these shows were prolonged way too much.

  14. Well this relieve my curiousity about the next work of Yagi.

  15. If you still need a translator, I can be of assistance in Japanese to English since I am an interpreter and I also love the Claymore series. If so e-mail me and we'll talk at (Dragonfirefire@aol.com)

    Cheers and keep up the good work.

    2. You might want to try again, because I didn't get it and its not even in the spam folder, but if that still doesn't work then I'll give you my Skype name.

    1. If you can't wait patiently like everyone else, search Claymore Chapter 127 Raw on Google.
