The plotline isn't amazing (overdramatic apocalypse ... pretty overdone), but the characters make this series worth it. The best part is that this manga has a wholesome ending fit for the well-developed characters (unlike many others that end up dragging on and on).

I guess I had greater expectations for this manga but sadly it did not live up to them, and I found myself just wanting to finish the manga just to get it over with. The story was bland and so was the mood but the redeeming factor I guess was the characters, they grow on you. In any case, not a bad manga but not great either.

While reading this, you may get a sense that you've read something like this before. The ideas are not the most original and, while it is a pleasant read for the first few volumes, there's nothing here to make you think "This is one of the best mangas I've ever read".

The reason I put my rating higher than average is purely because of the development of the relationship between the characters. I wanted to cry at the end but sadly my tear ducts have dried up after having watched too many Korean dramas. The good stuff only happens very late in the series, which is why I decided to sell my Chrono Crusade collection on as it's probably not one I'd read again, as much as I found the ending satisfying. This is one I would say to read if you have time.

i loove thos mangs, every side of it is sooo special! sometimes i wanna jump in and yell at them for hours!

For some reason, whenever I see nuns and guns (or catgirls with guns, or bunnygirls, maids, ect.) I'm expecting a semi-good plot with lots of pantyshots to have to skip over. But this manga was actually really good. The plot was interesting, it was funny, and the art was pretty.
The ending being so overbearingly depressing contradicted with the humor, and left me in tears. I would've liked a happier ending, but not being able to have everything you want is an important idea in the story, so maybe better left like that. I really enjoyed it.

It also left a really deep impression on me, even now, more than a month after completing it (and watching the anime afterwards), I still think about it. This is one of my favorites.

This was my first manga and it is still my favourite. What's not to love?. Cool villains, good plot and artwork, a nice amount to angst/love (not too overbearing or cheesy), maturity, a demon with control issues and (as was said already) a gun-toting nun. A half mark off because I am still a wee bit annoyed at the ending... I am sooo spoilt for other manga, but Trinity Blood is helping a whole lot, lol...

This is a manga to read to any adventure/fantasy fan, the plot line is simply amazing, the art is above average, in any case this manga is a must read!

Yeah, I remember reading this many years ago and it still somehow remains in my memories. It was a great read, granted I hadn't been exposed as much back then to the world of manga, novels and anime as I have now. I mean, I even think I remember borrowing it in the library and reading it and back then I was restricted to just the most popular stuff because of it.

However... That ending brought it down from a 9 to a 7. I hate things that make me cry, I don't find it pleasant at all to be overcome with emotions of sadness, some people seem to love it, but I'm not one of them. It left a gaping hole in my heart for a while after reading it, perhaps that's why I still remember it so vividly.

Some people think it's good to end with the mc dying or something, to give that "ah, it's all over" feeling, perhaps it's good closure? But no, just no. I want to imagine they still have their whole life ahead of them, going on with their merry adventures and not being in a freaking grave. There's nothing I hate more than a definite ending with no future possibilities. I mean, who the hell wants to be told "Hey, the character/characters you came to love died from old age, mwahahaha, not to mention the two of them didn't meet again and she grew old by herself" when you're already sad about the story ending? At least give us a happy "lived together, grew old together and had a happy life", or make both immortal or both mortal, shit. Yeah, if you read this, you need to prepare yourself for a sad ending before you read it.

great read.



the anime sucks, do not watch!

the first manga ive read that is better than the lion king. original, instant classic, genius story, dont wanna say it but it made me cry, thought it was gonna be a light series *big shock* amazing one for the ages.
