Yeah the anime's ending wasn't necessarily good, but the manga did drag after that point. I stopped reading a few volumes after the War in the North (or whatever) arc.
Pretty much what I did, got to chapter 97 or something, I vaguely remember clare dying and then not being dead about 3 times in 2 chapters. Pretty much defines what went wrong: it started act 3 way too early, and couldn't reel it back in, so what got stuck in a perma act 3. Got old quick. A shame really, I really liked Clare's character.
Clare was the reason I was interested in the first place. She was so mysterious and then... nothing... lol? I think they lost sight of what made the story interesting and spent way too much time on silly nonsensical plot twists. What the hell was up with the island being like a testing ground or whatever?
I don't know, I thought that was silly. Unfortunately, the manga that
completely rip off are inspired by Claymore also take that bit as well, in my experience. I think her story was told well enough, just there wasn't enough, so we got to the war in the north, and there was nothing left to tell after that, just hatred for whats-her-face. From where I got to, that confrontation was done better in the anime.
