Chapter 22
Throughout the series, Chrono has been referred to as a "Sinner," as well as Aion, the demon that turned Joshua. What could that mean?
Chapter 23
Chrono once followed Aion into doing some kind of uprising that involved slaughtering 100 or so demons of Pandamonium. Of course, doing so gets one branded as a "sinner" and anyone who has committed the sin of killing fellow demons or harboring said sinner will be executed. Now begs the question, "Why would Aion do such a thing?"
Chapter 24
One thing manga series are known for is having artwork that improves over time. Volume 4 already looks better than volume 1, and even in Volume 1, I thought this was one of the most beautiful graphic novels I've ever read. Way to go, Moriyama-san!
Chapter 25
Satella has an older sister she looked up to. Also, there's more fanservice in this chapter. Too bad it's not the fanservice I like to see. (Bonus characters in video games, an unexpected cameo of an actor I like, that sort of thing.)
Chapter 26
Our heroes have just arrived in San Francisco. Also, there's a very touching moment between Rosette and Chrono. Character development! And no, I'm not being sarcastic, either.
Chapter 27
FORESHADOWING! A great narrative technique when used correctly.
Chapter 28
Rosette finally reunites with Joshua, but will it end well? We're now at the halfway point!
Omake #4
Daisuke talks about a Chrono Crusade drama CD that was recorded. He claims the people who worked on it had a better understanding of the characters than him the creator! Uh, Moriyama-san, as an aspiring author myself, I find that really hard to believe. I've talked about my original series to my family, but no one clearly understands my characters like I do. Then again, most people in my family aren't writers like me, either.
Final thoughts: Not as much action in this volume, but that's okay, since it promises the 5th volume to be really powerful. Stick around!
