Synopsis

America in the Roaring 20s. On the surface, it's a positive, peaceful time after the violence of the Great War. But lurking in the shadows is a dark element ready to snatch that peace away. Sister Rosette Christopher, an exorcist working as a part of the Magdala Order, has a duty to fight the demons which appear and cause destruction. But along with her companion Chrono, she usually ends up causing more destruction than the demons themselves! On one particular mission, they meet a young girl with a beautiful voice named Azmaria, who is being targeted by her own stepfather. As Rosette and Chrno work to save her, more is revealed about the relationship between them. There is more to these two than meets the eye. (Source: ADV)

Some of you may be looking at this manga and are probably thinking: "Is this actually good?" Well, in my opinion it's almost like asking: "Is the pope catholic?" Speaking of catholics, this manga uses a lot of catholic references in a very clever way. However, the catholicism in this manga is what sort of turns readers away from Chrno Crusade.

The story is actually a little slowly paced. I mean, it's a very original story, especially in the way that the catholicism was read more

The first time I encountered Chrono Crusade (I called it 'Chrno' Crusade for many years!) was when the anime was still being fansubbed. It was random; I saw it was being subbed by a group that was subbing something else I was watching at the time and I decided to give it a go. I ended up following it weekly until the depressing (yet satisfying) conclusion, later going on to buy the lovely R1 slimpack box set. While I didn't give the anime top marks due to the rushed Gonzo 'original story' second half of the anime, I do think of it as a read more

Other than the obvious similarity in the religious setting of the institutions, both works show a similar interdependent relationship among the main characters, and a small life expectancy for both female leads.
Both have a lot of elements in common like the fights between monsters (vampires) and humans, with institutions of the church tha fights against such monsters, althoug the involving and dramatic plot.
