Does anyone here own it/have read it? I would like to know if it's any good. It looks interesting, but I haven't had a chance to look at it.
To those who have read it: Would you recommend it?

I recomend it to anyone who likes supernatrual stuff mixed with action. I really enjoy the manga, much more so then I have the anime adaption.

I haven't read it, but it looks like fun. I love Sister Rosetta's character design, I can't wait to get my hands on the manga so that I add a few sketches to my art journal! Anime hyper *stupid nobody in Australia carrying it yet!!!*

Chrno Crusade...Very different. The artwork is top-notch, so is the whole concept of nuns capturing demons, but the characters are nothing new (with the exception of Chrno, who's personality is nothing unique). All of the character's personalities seem recycled.

I own it and I'm liking it. I defienately would recommend it. I t has some supernatural stuff where the main characters hunt down monsters. Kinda reminds me of Hellsing.

I"ve only read the first volume and kinda agree with you about the personalities. I'm looking foward to the second volume though. It looks like it will have lots of story background about Chrno and Rosette. Smile This story has a great fun plot but it's still a bit of the monster-a-week genre. Aren't they all though Smile

It is Hellsing Lite, but still worth getting.

I enjoyed it and look forward to the anime.

What's the overall plot of this? Just the two hunting demons, or what? The ann overall thingy didn't really work for me, maybe it's because the don't say at all what Joshua from Aion is doing missing, etc. Help please.

Well, mainly it's about an exorcist and her demon partner, working the jobs their assigned. Rosette wants to go off searching for her brother and the demon that took him, but she can't untill she gets permission from the ministry... or something like that. There's a lot of intresting stuff about her brother that I read for alone.

I've read up to volume 4, and really enjoyed it. Some of the character's you'll find to be quite different from the tv series. Chrno is actually younger then what he was in the tv series. His form is supposed to be that of a kid. I think manga Rosette was less annoying, and oh yeah, the Gem Witch or whatever her name is, I forget, but she is COMPLETELY different. She's not as deathly serious, and she has a... shouta complex, which causes her to go after poor Chrno at some point Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop
