Chrono Crusade (Japanese: クロノクルセイド, Hepburn: Kurono Kuruseido), originally known in Japan (due to a typo) as Chrno Crusade,[2][3] is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Daisuke Moriyama. It was serialized in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Comic Dragon from 1998 to 2003 and later in Monthly Dragon Age from 2003 to 2004, with its chapters collected in eight tankōbon volumes. It was licensed in North America by ADV Manga.
Set in New York during the 1920s, Chrono Crusade follows the story of Rosette Christopher, and her demon partner Chrono. As members of the Magdalene Order, they travel around the country eliminating demonic threats to society, while Rosette searches for her lost brother, Joshua.
Chrono Crusade was adapted into a 24-episode anime television series, animated by Gonzo and directed by Yū Kō, broadcast on Fuji TV from 2003 to 2004. The anime series was licensed in North America by ADV Films in 2004 and later acquired by Funimation in 2010.

This site's editor-in-chief (and my boss) Christopher Macdonald, aka Tempest, asked Daisuke Moriyama himself at Anime Boston 2005 and Moriyama confirmed that it was in fact a typo that made it to the printers before anyone caught it. They chose to just run with it rather than fix the typo; believe it or not, English mistakes in Japanese productions are extremely common.
