Elfen Lied


 
Elfen Lied by Okamoto Lynn
even though it looks like an innocent manga with it's cute art style and cover it really is one of the bloodiest manga's i have ever read. This manga is Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Shounen, Supernatural Manga and as such it's not to be take lightly. i Suggest you turn away from this manga if you aren't very fond of Horror/bloody mangas. There are also some very Echii (near pornographic) Parts of this manga involving very far sexual actions. Although i think that the Echii part of this manga really helps a laugh at times and makes the Manga alot more enjoying to read.

The Diclonius, a mutated homo sapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possesses two horns in their heads, and has a "sixth sense" which gives it telekinetic abilities. Due to this dangerous power, they have been captured and isolated in laboratories by the government. Lucy, a young and psychotic Diclonius, manages to break free of her confines and brutally murder most of the guards in the laboratory, only to get shot in the head as she makes her escape. She survives and manages to drift along to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her. Having lost her memories, she was named after the only thing that she can now say, "Nyuu," and the two allow her to stay at Kouta's home. However, it appears that the evil "Lucy" is not dead just yet...

The story in this manga is really exciting and thrilling and i think it has a really original story. This manga is not near as popular as the anime version but i found the anime rather disappointing because of the ending. and the fact that i was so in love with the manga at the point that i just got mad. For those who have seen the anime i can asure you that the manga continues where the anime stopped and has more exciting characters and a much better reason for it to be called "Elfen Lied" than a stupid music box.

Overall i really recommend this manga. The anime is really popular and if you didn't get enough then the manga is a great choice of action.
