I love how consistently detailed and good the artwork for this manga is.
It's a nice well paced introduction to the pair of Rosette and Chrono as a demon fighting exorcist team.
Admittedly nothing genre or ground breaking but very solid all around.

I pretty much enjoyed it. Like the way I have enjoyed the anime when it was shown on the television.

I feel like it's cheating to count manga as books towards my reading challenge but we are getting down to the GRIND now. I love this anime, even though the ending was spoiled for me so I never finished it. I'm hoping the manga will be a worthwhile revisiting for me. So far so good...

I loved the manga as well as the anime and I couldn't recommend it enough. It's action packed with a story that draws you in quickly. I cried at the end for reason I won't spoil. One of my favorites.

I haven't read this since the series ended years ago when the last volume released in June of 2004. Rereading it brings back such fond memories - I can even smell the Barnes & Noble where I would read manga whenever I could. Now as a 29 year old, I can honestly say it's like meeting an old friend all over again.
It's interesting to see how far manga has come in the years that have gone buy, this series will be 20 years old next year! ADV was the publisher of Chrono Crusade and I'm so surprised that some of the original Japanese text is still in the volume I purchased! And it has Furigana! Perfect if you're learning Japanese, but it's scattered in the volume.
I didn't realize as a kid how fast-paced this single volume went! It's like an action film! Just "wham!" and "bam!" Rosette is as lovable and inspiring as ever! She holds a special place in my heart.
So the story, it's an interesting set up. What with using America in the roaring 20's with demons, angels, biblical prophecies. I remember the English dub of the anime specifically using 20's slang, cursing, and making sure the VA's had accents to the area the story takes place specifically in the states -specifically in the New York area. I'll have to rewatch after I've read the series again. The real plot of the manga isn't really shown until at least volume 2 if memory serves me right, as this first volume is an introduction to our cast of characters, and our main cast of Rosette, Chrono, and Azmaria - our last member doesn't come in until volume 3. I can't wait to walk down memory lane some more.

Uma das mangas com mais vibe feminina que já li.
Ok, luta com seres sobrenaturais cai-me sempre no goto e até tem momentos divertidos, mas o worldbuilding podia estar melhor. Still ainda não está ao ponto de a descer para 3 Estrelas e espero que melhore.
By the way, personagem portuguesa e o melhor nome que lhe arranjam é Asmaria (aliás, Azumaria)? lol Nã, nã, é boa. Pelo menos faz-me rir cada vez que leio o nome.
