Meet Claymore

The story takes place in a fictional world similar to the European medieval , which is divided into 47 countries . In this world, the author presents human beings coexisting with creatures called Youma , monsters that feed on human viscera.
Youma are able to acquire the shape of their victims, absorbing the memories and personality of their prey. This allows them to deceive friends and family and infiltrate the villages to feed without lifting suspicions for themselves.
In an attempt to combat creatures, a secret organization creates an order of modified warriors to protect humans, claymors . The name comes due to the immense Claymore swords carried in combat by such warriors
After their creation, the villages under threat of the Youma hire the claymors to exterminate the monsters.
The organization responsible for the creation of warriors is the only one that has direct contact with them. And manages both the services requested by the cities and the internal services, requested by the organization itself.
Youmas annihilation requests have a very high cost , and payment only occurs after the success of the mission. A black man always gets the money as he visited the city shortly after the claymore departure.
If the warrior dies and does not finish the service, it is not necessary to pay. People have rumored that monsters have decimated consecutive attacks , the cities that refused to pay. Without getting any help response from the organization.
