they sell very high price in ebay. What I have is Chinese translation, I don't understand, just judging from
pictures. I said some things about the manga ending above. The main part is Rosette lived happily with everyone except
chrono in 7 years, and finally met chrono again right before she died, they hug and smile.
In the ending part Rosette looked really tired and old (well, not aging, but has a look of an old person that is about
to die). Very sad as well, but the better things on the manga:
-Joshua didnt get amnesia, he break his horns himself because he gained his memory, and he lived too
-Stella is alive, frozen till 90s, so stella is alive right now in 2006. Anyone have her address? lol
-In 90s Az is really old, and she gave the photo in carnival to Stella
-AION IS NOT #$@%$% REVIVED ! HES DEAD DEAD dEAD VERY DEAD INDEED :)
-Remington didnt become a crazy thug
-World is much more peaceful in the manga
-Elder retired etc...
-In manga everything goes very well indeed, except the fact that Rosette cannot be saved.
Anime, Rosette cried afraid of death, seems the author wants to make it very realistic, everyone, even the toughest
person is afraid of death, even animals like horses and elephants are afraid of death.

oh and I could ask for another extra 30 seconds for the anime ending.
We will feel MUCH BETTER if they show a scene of Chrno and Rosette together in heaven :) will be beautiful! LIke the
ending of the Gladiator movie, where the mian hero met his dead family in heaven after he died.

CHRNO CRUSADE - EPILOGUE
The year is 1931 (7 years after the events in Chapter 56), at the Seventh Bell Orphanage, in Michigan. A grown-up Joshua
and Azmaria arrive to the building, and go to Rosette's room. Rosette (who is now 23 and looks really beautiful)
has been living in the orphanage for a while, and is now a teacher there. She has not been feeling good lately, and when
Az and Joshua enter her room, they find her sitting on her bed, being taken care of by Elizabeth Grandberg
(Rosette's first friend at the Magdalan Order) who is now a doctor. Azmaria and Joshua are worried about her, but
Rosette reassures them. They talk for a while, and Azmaria explains that Joshua is now a minister at the Magdalan Order,
as well as other things regarding the rest of the members of the order (I don't understand everything that she
said, I need to read that chapter again). The Elder retired from his position 2 years ago, Sister Kate is still the
Headmistress of the NY branch, Guilliam and his assistant Grace moved to NY and are now under the orders of Sister Kate,
Remington also retired from the order, along with the Elder...
Azmaria leaves Rosette's room and has a talk with Elizabeth. She tells her that Rosette doesn't have much time
left. Rosette calls Az and Joshua to her side and makes them promise something to her (something along the lines of
living their life to the fullest, or something similar). Some months later (according to Azmaria) Rosette died, and Az
and Joshua are seen in Rosette's funeral, holding hands...
Fast forward to 1999. Satella (YES, YOU READ WELL, SATELLA IS ALIVE!) looking almost the same, except she now has modern
clothes, receives a gift from Azmaria (who is now very old). It's the picture from the carnival, that Azmaria has
been keeping. (But why is Satella alive? Answer: Satella and Fiore were "frozen in time" and their bodies fell
to the sea when Pandemonium was destroyed. Their frozen bodies were washed ashore in 1996, and she was later
"defrozen" by some scientists.) Satella then goes to the Magdalan Order, and goes to visit Rosette's
grave (the grave reads: Rosette Christopher, 1908 - 1932). She puts flowers in Rosette's grave, and tells her
something about being grateful to her, because "they" (Rosette and Chrno) created a bright new future for
everybody. She promises Rosette that she will live her life in the best way possible, always looking at the future. She
then leaves, not noticing that Fiore was looking at her from a distace. Sheda (she's alive too, and was probably
the one who "defroze" Fiore), asks Fiore if she's worried about Satella, and Fiore says no. She then says
goodbye to Satella in her mind...
Back to 1931... Rosette has a talk with Remington inside a church. (Remington looks very old, but still looks handsome)
Remington says goodbye to her and leaves, and Rosette is left alone. Rosette thinks about Chrno, and tells him in her
thoughts that she was still waiting for him, and that he was the reason she was still battling against time. Then
suddenly, Rosette falls, and starts feeling very bad. Rosette falls on her knees before the altar, and begs Chrno to
come to her....... then.... (GET YOUR KLEENEX READY!)
The door of the church opens. Rosette is surprised, and turns to look at the entrace...
Chrno is standing by the doorway. He has long hair now, he lost his horns (and a part of his right arm) and looks very
worn out, but looks very happy....
Rosette starts to cry in disbelief.... Chrno starts running towards her... Rosette starts to run to him too, with her
arms outstretched.... Chrno opens his arms and smiles at her....
Rosette jumps into Chrno's embrace, crying tears of joy.
