I am reading the Claymore manga. There are around 5 chapters left before I
finish it. In chapter 150 of the manga, I see that Teresa is alive, but I am
pretty sure that in the anime, she was killed by Priscilla, and Priscilla was
defeated by Clare at the end of the anime.

The difference in the endings of the storylines of the manga and the anime has
confused me. Can you tell me what's going on here? Or does this simply mean
that the anime's storyline is different from that of the manga?

Do Claymore manga and anime have different endings?


**Disclaimer:** although strictly not spoiler info (they're all details that
were mentioned before), reading the answers kind of spoils the excitement and
all the built-ups that lead to the grand conclusion. I advise you to just
continue reading chapter 151, which would clear your confusion.

The Claymore anime storyline is indeed different from that in the Claymore
manga, albeit only substantially different for the ending. As the manga was
still ongoing, the anime had to end at the conclusion of the Northern Campaign
arc, but they somehow made the ending different.

Before the final chapters in the manga, Priscilla remained undefeated since
she slew Teresa. What's more, she never met Clare and her comrades in the
Northern Campaign arc, and would not have been defeated by Clare were she to
meet her at that time. This was different in the anime, as you said, Priscilla
was defeated by Clare, and seemingly more by her desire for revenge than by
Teresa's flesh and soul, and therefore talent and power, that resided within
Clare.

Teresa was killed for sure, in both the anime and the manga, but she still
lived within Clare because Clare took up her flesh and blood (from her severed
head) to become an unusual Claymore who is 1/4 yoma and 3/4 human. The Teresa
that appears in chapter 150 is Clare's awakened form.

Manga and Animations do have totally different endings. Anime has a rushed
ending but completes the series, whereas Manga has a smooth ending yet leaves
a bit incompletion or does not satify the feels of ending! Although, its just
endings, but the whole story differs due to those changes. Personally, I liked
the Manga more.
