Chrono Crusade, Vol. 5

Bought as a gift for my Granddaughter, this was something she asked for as Christmas gift.

It was a good book. I am a fan of Chrono Crusade. Sadly, Rosette died in both of anime and manga. :( Even only Chrno died in anime. And he is still alive in manga, you see, he was the one who put these flowers in front of her grave every year.

The series came out in fantastic condition when I bought it I thought they would be beaten up (even though I read the details carefully and checked the buyer reviews.) The slightest amount of rips or creases were expected. However mine looks brand new! I feel very lucky.

Rosette's dream has finally come true as she comes face to face with her lost brother Joshua. The problem is that he doesn't even recognize her as he has become possessed by Chrono's horns. Besides now being Aion's flunky, he's really just window dressing for Aion's main goal...to capture Azmaria to use in his plans to attack Pandemonium, the demon realm. To battle him, Chrono needs all his power back, and in a brash loss of control, he might just use up all of Rosette's soul to do it! And why does Aion's maid look a little too familiar to Satella's shocked eyes?Chrono Crusade the manga is superior to the anime in all respects. This volume has a lot of emotional heft to it because of the anti-climax of Rosette and Joshua's meeting. While there is a lot of tragedy inherent in the relationships here, there is also a light-hearted humor that was all too painfully missing from the latter half of the anime series. Even Aion and his crew have their humorous moments. But don't get me wrong, there is a lot of gore and demon battling, but it doesn't suffer from poorly animated shojoesque fighting poses. This original manga version just has more heart than the anime. Great book.
