Manga like Claymore

One of the best mangas that i have read so far is Claymore, which has all of the qualities that i think a good manga should have. It has an awesome plot with a lot of plot twists, yet it isnt too confusing or drawn out and the manga isnt filled with usesless talk that makes the story boring. Full Metal Alchemist has a wonderful plot, but has too much talking so it gets boring and Naruto has story thats way to drawn out and long. Also, the manga should have epic fight scenes. Another good thing about Claymore is that the people have unique skill and can transform a little (when they Awaken) which means that there is an internal conflict within the characters to control themselves. Finally, there seems to be a little implied romance between Claire and Raki but the story isnt circled around them so it isnt mushy lovey-dovey stuff. I would appreciate it if you guys could help . Just make sure that there isnt any yaoi or tragedies. Thnks

hm..Isnt Claymore, a TRAGEDY manga?

As for my recommendtions:

try reading..Basara, you WILL LOVE it to death. It has the plot twists..romance..very very detailed adventure. As a fellow Claymore fan like yourself, I really think Basara is a very good adventure type manga. (you have to get used to the art though)

also.. read Island and Shin Angyo Onshi
ofcourse, you shouldnt miss reading great mangas like Gantz. one piece~

Claymore isnt a tragedy. Its listed as one but its not. People die, but its usually unimportant people with a few occasional important characters, although its to help move the story along. Because of that, its not sad or really a tragedy. Also, you cant really say its a tragedy until the story ends, which it hasnt. I think someone should remove the tragedy tab on Claymore

@Kurthanaga

I just see it as a tragedy manga cuz there are loads of death in the manga. Remember Theresa and the Northern war incident? We have lost lots of important characters in the process.

And yes, I also recommend Red Eyes, it's one of my most fav. action manga. It has detailed plot, not too complex, very realistic and has the implied romance that you're looking for. Definitely a worthy read.

why dont you do it?
suggestions:
soul eater although there is a lot of comedy
you can try chrono crusade or vampire juujikai
both are good
the end of chrono crusade is a bit sad but a good read anyway
seikon no qwaser
superior...
there erally isn't anything like claymore...

Parasyte and Blaster Knuckle are both pretty similar.

Well you should focus on the fact Teresa of the Faint Smile ISNT a minor char, and because of her death, Clare decides to give up her humanity to pursue the killer of her beloved "stepmother". If this isnt a tragedy...

uhm epic battles, no tragedy, little speaking.... what about Bleach?
