Really.

Just look at the evidence:

Part 1: Sakura is badly written by Kishimoto, and drives the majority of the audience insane with annoyance. Sasuke is kinda cool.

Part 2: Sasuke is badly written by Kishimoto, and drives the majority of the audience insane with annoyance. Sakura is fantastically cool.

It's like they share a set amount of 'annoying' and when one takes, the other gives. *sigh*

Don't you see? They're soul mates. The last scene of the manga will be them getting married and/or surrounded by pink-haired, pinwheel-eyed children.

It's totally canon, don't bother arguing with me.

Shut up, Sakura x Sasuke are only the greatest romance since Bella and Edward! (OMG OTP!!1111!!!!)

Yeah, I know, but I'm just so very, very sick of seeing that 'awesome but different' label slapped on the women in manga. Every single anime and manga I've watching is doing that right now, and it's driving me CRAZY!

Which is why you should just be reading/watching Claymore already.

Not only is it all about girls with swords who kick giant monster butt, but half of them have the "good and badass in this different way that doesn't let them do as much" things utilized to their utmost potential to show how stupid it is to say that's why they can't kick butt as much.

Have I shoved Twelve Reasons You Should Be Reading Claymore (http://meganbmoore.livejournal.com/713088.html)
at you?

I just opened up a new browser and went to one manga in order to start reading.

Good good. It does start a bit slow and is best to just binge read until you get to the (fairly easy to spot) reveal in the Teresa arc around vol 4, but if you aren't addicted by the end of the Teresa arc, I'll be terribly confused.

The nun (including before she was a nun) is one of my 5 very favorite characters, and was long before she was a nun. She's also and interesting twist on her trope long before that.

(I have my one ultimate favorite, Miria, but 2-5 tends to remain the same four, but the order changes.)

ETA: I should also warn that Claymore's mangaka doesn't care if a person is a blatant redshirt or a fan favorite. If s/he(no idea) decides it's time for someone to die, everyone is fair game, and seeming redshirts don't die and become well developed characters.
