Short reviews 1

1. Claymore is a manga that has an anime, but the anime stops with the arc about Pieta and the manga goes on. Because the story does not end in the anime, normally the manga would be interesting for me to read. 
       Basically, in the medieval world, the only rescue from the human eating demons known as "Yoma", are the women warriors called "silver eyed witches" or "Claymores" after the huge Claymore swords they carry. The story begins with Claire the weakest Claymore. Normally, our underdog is the biggest hero and the protagonist of the story. In the beginning it is really annoying that despite various special abilities that they have, the only thing that sets them apart is their different hair color. Practically there is no difference even between men and women. But, variations of skills and forms of demons are apparently infinite. The story travels through time, explaining the origins of the "Claymores" and the "Yoma" demons.

2. When it comes to Naver, one of the more popular webcomic releases translated on sites for reading manhwa is Noblesse. As a vampire manhwa somehow it did not attract me immediately, but I still started reading it. It is really easy to read, and slowly progressing, and lightly telling the story as it progresses logically through the arcs. As I already mentioned it is a world where vampires and werewolves are hierarchically arranged in clans, as protectors of the people.  On the other hand, there are people's organizations, greedy for immortality and superpowers. There are many main characters, ordinary high school students, modified people and immortal noblemen.  But unfortunately, not overly analyzed and detailed. The manga until now has 4 arcs, and as such are divided the books that came out thanks to the popularity of the manga. The art fits the western comic art.

3. Bakuman has a very original story and tells about the ambitions of the two boys who want to become professional mangaka - Akito a highly intelligent boy with a talent for writing, and Moritaka extremely talented at art.  Moritaka's success as a mangaki is very important, so he promises not to go on a date with Miho until their manga gets an anime.
