Lynn Okamoto (岡本倫 Okamoto Rin) is a Japanese manga artist and a former employee of Bandai. His most famous work is the series Elfen Lied, which was adapted into a 13-episode anime series by the studio Arms. He lives in Tokyo, Japan.
Stupid and accidental nudity is getting on my nerves... The only interesting part of the story was in the last chapters. The story looses its main direction many times, and go off to pointless romance which I can't really feel. By the way, why there are only female diclonius? Have I missed something?
Okey. Sigo pensando que este manga tiene muchas escenas extras e innecesarias que arruinan la historia.
Hubo una escena en particular que me rompió el corazón y por eso siento que no puedo destruir la reseña como me gustaría, pero estoy segura que Lynn Okamoto me va a dar otras oportunidades para quejarme de lo mal que hace algunas cosas en este manga.
Creo que de todos los tomos que leí hasta el momento de Elfen Lied, este es el que más podría rescatar... y hasta ahi.
RELECTURA 2025: Después del algo desastroso tomo 5, este se supera un poco en historia, pero sigue manteniendo desnudos y fanservice totalmente innecesario. Rozando preocupante.
Synopsis: Lucy is a special breed of human referred to as Diclonius, born with a short pair of horns and invisible telekinetic hands that lands her as a victim of inhumane scientific experimentation by the government. However, once circumstances present her an opportunity to escape, Lucy, corrupted by the confinement and torture, unleashes a torrent of bloodshed as she escapes her captors. During her breakout, she receives a crippling head injury that leaves her with a split personality: someone with the mentality of a harmless child possessing limited speech capacity. In this state of instability, she stumbles upon two college students, Kouta and his cousin Yuka, who unknowingly take an injured fugitive into their care, unaware of her murderous tendencies. This act of kindness will change their lives, as they soon find themselves dragged into the shadowy world of government secrecy and conspiracy.
Review: A horrifically violent, gruesomely sexualized, shocking and depressing series that's further intensified by the horrific acts done to a group of young girls. The things we are forced to watch happen to them is sickening, which makes their bloody vengeance and murderous rampages almost justified, if it wasn't for the ridiculously high body count of innocent civilians and bystanders.
Everyone in this series is an extreme sadist, the type of people that would beat a puppy to death with a glass vase just to spite another person. I admit, the shock value can get tiresome and pointless in certain instances, but from the standpoint of a horror flick, it can be entertaining to see just how much you are able to endure. Reminiscent of old-school slasher movies with excessive splatter and gore. Shock value for the sake of shock value. It can get redundant, but it can also be entertaining if you're looking for simpler entertainment.
There are plenty of flaws in the series as well as very awkward and misplaced moments that drag down the overall serious tone, but it's something I feel happy having experienced. It's a great example of exploring the minds of very tragic and emotionally broken characters. These instances of incredibly sad, memorable and heart-wrenching moments are the saving grace of the series.
A diferencia de los demás tomos, que poco a poco iba revelando más información sobre los Diclonius y como iba apareciendo y la importancia de cada uno de ellos, en este tomo se han revelado muchas más cosas y ha estado muy interesante. Además, ha aparecido un personaje que me llamaba mucho la atención en el anime, Mariko. ¿Sabéis qué? Yuka me sigue cayendo muy mal, la verdad. Y Nana tampoco es que me guste demasiado el personaje. Al principio sí, parecía algo normal, pero está empezando a volverse insoportable. Como siempre, Nyu es mi favorita todavía y dudo que eso cambien en algún momento. Creo que es porque es la que más ha sufrido y tiene todo el peso de la trama, porque menuda trama. Lo dicho, que este manga me está encantando, al igual que el anime. Así que, sin esperar demasiado, me voy a poner con el siguiente tomo que estoy deseando saber como continua.
Bir önceki ciltten sonra sapıklıklar yok denecek kadar az geldi. Hala var tabii yanlış anlaşılmasın. Mariko sonunda hikayeye dahil oldu. Kurama'nın kızları babalarının yanında karşı karşıya geliyorlar. Kurama’nın geçmişini daha derinden görüyoruz. Kakuzava'nın da planlarını biraz daha öğrenmiş olduk. Nana eve kabul edildi. Azıcık iyi şeyler yaşadı diye hemen ardından kötü şeyler yaşıyor. Yuka-Kota-Lucy aşk üçgeni sıkıyor beni. Yuka yine ağlıyor. Altıncı cilde geldik fakat gram ilerleyemedik. Lucy de Nyu kişiliğinin aslında bastırılmış duygularından beslendiğini düşünüyor. Yaptığı her şeyi oraya bağlayabileceğimi sanmıyorum.
karakterlerin hepsinin gerizekalı olması insan dürtüselliğinin öne çıkmasına yarıyo telkinini kouta yüzünden 40 kere yaptım bu ciltte. animeyi bu bilinçle izlerken gözüme çok batmıyodu ama okurken bi tık dövesim geliyo yalan değil. bi de çıplaklık beni hiç rahatsız etmiyo ama perspektif/kamera açıları ve bazen ÇOK ALAKASIZ gelen erotizm canımı sıkıyo hafiften
1 yıl sonra 6.kitabı ancak okuyabildim, çevirilerin yavaşlığından. Özlemiştim. Yazarın aşırılıkları dışında serinin heyecanının arttığı bir kitaptı. Karakterlere de ısınmış olsam da yazarın aşırı kadın vücudu odaklı çizimleri abartması hikayeyi bozuyor.
Oh Lucy, how amazing you were when I was a teenager. Elfen Lied was one of those animes when I was younger that everyone had watched. A time were and of the world genre like Evangelion, X/1999, Ergo Proxy, Appleseed, Blue Submarine, Gunnm, Trigun and so much more reigned supreme in avid manga and anime fans. I loved EL, this may have been my 5th or 6th times reading it. The grotesque psychological trauma the Lucy clones go through as science experiments for the destruction of mankind in order to place the Diicloni as populous of the world.
EL has many themes from social alienation, abuse, jealousy and revenge to identity crisis and the value of humanity or ones self worth. There are many stages and evolution to the story and characters. Although the story is complex, the anime and manga differs at some points, especially on the ending. I strongly recommend the manga over the anime for that reason alone.
Do I recommend it: Yes, a must for anyone looking for a classic for animes in general, in its era, and its genre.
This one has a mild improvement over the previous volume, but it still finds ways to get sidetracked with the unnecessarily complicated love story between Kouta and the ever insecure Yuka. I did like the added backstory and the addition of Number 7, as well as some answers to questions, raised a few volume ago.
This was such a dramatic and heartfelt series. I felt so bad for the characters. the author did a really great job pulling at the readers. the series was emotionally charged and action packed.
Creo que de los 6 tomos que he leído por ahora, este ha sido mi preferido. Porque se aclaran ya algunas dudas, te vas enterando mejor de todo y me ha gustado mucho mucho.
