Ooooh, that's really interesting. And yeah, have gotten to Priscilla's backstory and Ophelia, though not to Priscilla's reappearance (I don't know this for sure, but given how shounen goes, I will somehow not keel over from surprise when the main enemy reappears eventually!). I do like that the men are punished for their sexuality as well, from the potential rapists to the male Awakened Beings.
I hadn't realized that the female Awakened Beings get more prominent secondary sex characteristics! I am pretty sure (?) that the male Awakened Beings don't, thanks to Japan's censorship laws in part (copious breasts always ok! Penises, never!).
Also, if being Awakened = sexual awakening, I wonder what of Ilena and Clare and the other Claymores who supposedly have Awakened, but aren't Awakened Beings yet? They seem like they're the ones dancing on the knife edge the most, because they're using the power and not having it control them (yet), and I'm hoping that they'll use the power to overthrow the patriarchy the Organization! I would like to see a Claymore in a sexual relationship that wasn't demonized, largely because I keep thinking about Buffy and how sexuality in Buffy was so frequently punished. But I have a bit of a hard time imagining any Claymore in any sort of emotional relationship....
