The one that I remember is from a manga, but I know there's an anime
adaptation from this manga. Here are some details from the manga I read:

  * I read it about 2-3 years ago, and it already has more than 50 chapters.
  * It's seinen.
  * The genre is action, and it has some explicit content with a lot of blood.
  * The main character is a woman with short white hair who has a sword.
  * This woman is a monster slayer, wandering between cities to slay a monster, and the citizens pay her. But she's a monster herself.
  * At the beginning, a boy decides to follow her, for a reason I don't really remember, perhaps to revenge his parents death.
  * One chapter reveals that she has a friend who is the same type of monster slayer as her, but she has to kill her, because her friend has been consumed by the monster inside her, and has turned into a monster.

That's all that I can remember, I hope these details are enough.

question
claymore
Manga/anime about a woman who can turn into a monster


That would be
[Claymore](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7028)

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/K38OV.jpg)

it's set in a fictional medieval island where humans are plagued by Youma,
humanoid shape-shifters that feed on humans. A group known as The
Organization, creates human-Youma hybrids to kill Youma for a fee. These
female warriors wear armored uniforms with white body suits. The public refer
to them as "Claymores" alluding to their Claymore swords, or "Silver-eyed
Witches," due to their silver eyes and how they have powers beyond humans.

## Evidence

> it already has more than 50 chapter

According to Wikipedia the manga has 143 chapters and is still ongoing

> The genre is action, and have some explicit content with lot of blood

I've only seen the anime but i believe it's action and quite bloody however
the explicit content in the anime also has a bit on nudity in it, there's a
scene of cannibalism and one of the characters almost allows herself to be
raped

> The main character is a woman, short hair, white hair, and have sword

That would be Clare (Pictured Above)

> This woman is a monster slayer, wandering between cities to slay a monster,
> and the citizen pays her. But she's a monster herself.

Claymores go from City to City, town to town killing Yoma , they leave but
before doing so notifies the people that a representative of The Organization
will appear to collect the fee. all Claymores are Part Yoma , Clare herself is
part Claymore because she was infused with a Claymore's Head (the woman who
raise her)

> At the beginning, a boy decide to follow her, for what reason I don't really
> remember, perhaps to revenge his parents death.

this boy is Raki who she saved, he at first begins to follow her but then
Clare decides to take him along seeing herself in him when she was saved by
Teresa, the Claymore who saved her from Yoma

> One chapter reveal that she has a friend who also the same monster slayer

As said above Claymores are half Yoma, their powers and strength come from
using this side of them by using demonic energy know as their Yoki Aura, if
they use too much they "Awaken" and becomes extremely power Youma known as
Awakened Being. it's explained that awakening is likened to the feeling of
sexual climax and Women was shown to resists this more than Men so it's the
reason why Claymores are women, however later in the series Clare learns of
the Male Claymores having existed however it's assumed they are all Awakened
Beings now, Claymore tend to hunt each other down in order to prevent them
becoming Awakened Beings.

## Contradictions

> It's seinen

Wikipedia says the demographic is Shōnen
