She does have that anime-ambiguous gender thing going, but she is a she.

Are you sure? I don't know but from what I know, it is a HE!

Unless the chinese translation is wrong, but volume 5 of the manga says so explicitly...
Spoiler! :
Translation from Chinese to English, Medusa said: Crona is my very own son.
And all the terms of the manga uses "He" instead of "She".
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

From wikipedia:
Spoiler! :
Crona is presented with having an ambiguous gender, and although hints are given to identify Crona's gender, nothing has ever stated it exactly.
Lol, so everyone is right!
