Picking up soon after the end of Son of Avonar, Guardians of the Keep starts with Seri going to her brother's household to tell her sister-in-law about the events of SoA, and being asked to stay on to help with her isolated, and often hateful, nephew Gerick, while she waits for the Dar'nethi mage, Dassine, to tell her that he's healed D'Nathiel's mind.

 
And now I am utterly bereft of Claymore until Vol 12 comes out, unless I decide to read scanslations.  But I kind of want to save it for when I get the books.

I suspect I am temporarily ruined for shounen consisting of guys yelling "And now...I'll show you MY REAL POWER!" or "And now...I'LL TAKE THE FIGHT SERIOUSLY!" etc...

I think I would put the angst and badassery and stoicism of any Claymore up against almost any shounen guy of choice.

Except for Manji.  (Well, maybe I'd put Miria up against Manji...)
