CLAYMORE 9 深き淵の煉獄

The pacing in volume 9 felt intense but also emotional. I wonder if that balance was planned from the start or evolved during the series.

The tension really ramped up, especially with the deep abyss setting. It made me question what the characters are willing to risk.

The detailed line work and shadowing create a haunting mood. I'm curious whether the art style was developed alongside the story or evolved later.
