Even before I started reading CC I knew it was gonna end this way and yet it still hit me...bruh
Tbh, I still have no clue what the goal of the big bad guy was, half the characters introduced didn't do sh*t in the end, the mangaka created too big of a world/story for it to be completely unfolded and then wrapped up in 8 volumes.
Also, I feel like we didn't get to see enough of Chrno at the end he basically got up and left, this way we didn't even see the final match between him and Aion, that was a bit ehh the time jump came outta left field, like, end the plotline, mate.
Still got me in the feels, so Moriyama must've done something right, eh?

How do I explain I love the story even though I didn't understand one bit of it?

Well, let's give that another reread in another seven years time. And see if I still feel the same as I did now and seven years back. Also, I totally forgot about that twist ending! Pleasant to be surprised all over again. Not as pleasant to be sad all over again.
Fittingly, my reaction to the ending of the series is the ending of the series itself.
So, all in all, what is the verdict after seven years? Well, I was rolling my eyes at certain manga tropes, like cat girls and panty shots. I kind of tuned out at certain plotpoints (apostles what, you did what to the pandemonium now). I really couldn't focus on some of the fights (ACTION LINES EVERYWHERE). The demons' designs are... well they have a lot of extra random bits stuck to them. But the art is actually great, with great attention to fabric and motion, and even the expressions of the characters get more than the standard "XD" manga treatment. Also, I actually got to laugh out loud at some of the slapstick. But what mostly stood out was the characterization. The bond between Chrno and Rosette is just wonderful, and really carries the whole series.
So yeah, would recommend to future self.

Kein wirkliches happy end, aber ein reales ende. Und passend. Und eine Story die zeigt nie aufzugeben und die Zeit die man hat zu nutzen.
(aber mal so nebenbei, ist der Pater dann fast so alt wie der Waffenspezialist? dann hat er sich gut gehalten...)
Und die Erklärung woher die Teufel kommen war irgendwie passend, weil es trotzdem ungenau und genau war)
