Trivia / Claymore

• I Just Write the Thing: Yagi likes to let his characters grow as if they're real people outside of his control, saying it's more interesting when even he can't predict what they will say in the next panel.
• Playing Against Type: It's a good thing Funimation identifies which English V.A.s portray which characters. Otherwise it's doubtful that anyone would have ever figured out that Ophelia was voiced by Luci Christian.
• Referenced by...: The character design of Briar in Soulstice was clearly influenced by Claire's.
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Yagi explains in an interview that he plotted out the series very loosely, without expecting it to turn out as long as it did, and that he let the plot and characters develop naturally instead of trying to railroad them towards a strict goal.
