great art + great plot + lovable characters and enemies + interesting development = awesome manga! XD

It comes out slow? The entire series has already been officially released in english.

Plotwise it was well diversified and had good develpment.... with a somewhat satifying ending...bittersweet it maybe....
Good character development......

overall great

This is one of my favori-- no, IS my favorite manga. The absolutely gorgeous artwork, the way Moriyama manages to draw the reader into the character's (even the villains, dammit! ...Aion. <3) individual stories and sufferings, the bittersweet closure - it all makes me love Chrno Crusade.

Whilst the romance disappoints me in that there is SO LITTLE ZOMG, it balances out by being a well-crafted and non-cliched relationship. Ok, so usually love stories between demons/nuns are always cliche...but I insist that this love story will break your heart! Though I guess it all depends on how much of a tragic story you can come up with with only a few hints...
Anyway, I like Chrono and Rosette's relationship. It's not necessarily romantic, but a companionship that is spoken beyond mere words and gestures.

Of course, I could be biased. You'll have to read it in it's 8 volume (short..D: ) entirety to full understand! On the topic on short mangas, I find that it's the ones that are 6-9 volumes in length that really stand out. There are exceptions of course.

Another manga that just keeps getting better and better as you read on.
Fantastic plot, great artwork, extremely lovable characters, this manga has got it all. The pacing is just fine, never rushing things but never dragging the plot either.
If I had to come up with one thing to gripe about this manga, that would be that I really want to see more of these characters. At only 8 volumes the story is rather short, and it left me wanting to hear more about Rosette and Chrno (who might just have the most inpronunceable name ever). The side characters are also rather nice, so I wouldn't have minded some of those chapters (so common in other mangas) that don't move the plot forwards, but just let you enjoy the characters. But this isn't really something to criticize, is it? That a story gets you to love its protagonists and makes you desire to see more of them is a very commendable thing.
In short, if you like action, fantasy, romance, and have a penchant for bitter-sweet tales, this manga is for you.

really good serie. anime went out too.

One of the funniest, most touching, most beautiful, and over all best mangas I have ever read in my life.

It is literally a masterpiece. That is the simplest way of putting it. A masterpiece. You have to read this, trust me.

On a side note, this manga has inspired me to also ~never stop running.

At first, I thought that Chrno Crusade was going to be some crappy manga because of its setting and themes. Then I decided to read it. As I read more and more of it, I thought that the religious themes and setting both worked together very well. At a first glance, you may think it's some corny religous themed manga but I can assure you it isn't. The art is also great and the characters develop amazingly. All together making an amazing manga.

i love this manga so much its totally my favorite!! at first i read thinking " oh good shes a nun i wont have to deal with all that boring romance crap" but then i started to like chrono X rosette....THEY ARE JUST SOO CUTE whether chronos in chibi form or in older form!!

seriously how can people like this manga? everything about it screams mediocrity. Run of the mill fantasy story, EXTREMELY boring and predictable... oh no, joshua's bitch is the other chicks sister? wow really m night shamalan? i guessed that, maybe the second that they mentioned that she had a sister? i dont even know if i can finish this heap of garbage.... oh yeah, dont forget the random cat demon, which arrived so abruptly and unexplained in this series that she might as well of parachuted onto the page.

also, wtf is with all the genre's? 8 of them? drama romance? 6volumes in and neither of them to poke their head out. supernatural fantasy? pick one, not both.

seriously, this plot is like
oh no, i need my horns! lets go get them, ok!
oh no, i need my brother! lets go get him, ok!
oh no, i need my sister! lets go get her, ok!

i wonder if the author came up with this plot from some random mad lib.

a _______(cliche creature: demon) meets a _______ (cliche female lead:tsundre chick) they have ____(number: two) companions....
dont even get me started on how just damn atrocious the characters are. "Hey, my name is Logic, you wont find me here"

i dont even want to go on. ugh this is just bad. its about as original as "two fast too furious"

not to mention every female character has the most retarded case of Stockholm's Syndrome whenever they get capture by their enemies, who are literally just waiting to kill them. seriously, make sense more please.
