Well still I wonder what kind of beings are Diclonius?
And I would like to know why Kouta forgets his memories..
Still art is horribly simple and story need some deepness..

Elfen Lied is not the best sci-fi comic that I've ever read. However, it's the most touching one. Okay I'll say fuck all these fanservices and that lame kouta with his fucking cousin. But I will clap for Lucy and other diclonius
It's a story about humanity. (by the way the anime soundtrack is cool). It's a story about how dicriminative human is and the truth about our sadistic nature.
The plot is not somehow special but the story line is catching. Can't drop it to the end.
You deserve my respect to teach a moral and more ecchis
anyway I love it. Rate 5!

Ev içinde çeşitli kıskançlık dalgaları yaşanıyor.
Kendisi üzerinde deneyler yapılan laboratuvarda hayatta kalabilmek baba sevgisine sığınan genç bir kız soğuk kanlı bir katille karşı karşıya geliyor. Dövüşün en kritik anında müdahil olan biri bütün gidişatı tersine çeviriyor.
Sokaklarda yaşayan küçük bir kız sahilde bulduğu şemsiyeyi sahibine götürünce kendisini sıcak bir yuvada buluyor.
Yüksek ateşin etkisiyle sayıklayan genç geçmişe dair hiç yaşanmamış olaylardan bahsetmeye başlıyor.
Kitabın başından sonuna kadar kıskançlık-utanma-fiziksel şiddet komedisi hakim. Bir yerden sonra bıktırıyor. Genel olarak evin içinden çıkabildiği zamanlarda hikaye merak uyandırmaya ve kendini okutmaya başlıyor. Ne yazık ki hikayenin yarısı evin içinde geçiyor.

Definitivamente había varias escenas que no están en el anime o que directamente borre de mis recuerdos. Sigo insistiendo en que hay escenas que no suman en nada a la historia. Pero claramente eran otras épocas con otros pensamientos y bueno... Supongo que estaría... "Bien visto?" Hacer historias como estás con escenas así, subidas de tono.
Más allá de esto que siempre me va a hacer restarle estrellas, es más gore de lo que recordaba 🤣

İlginç bir bilimkurgu-aksiyon omurgası olan manga maalesef yine japon tuhaflıkları ile sayfa dolduruyor. Örgüyü ilerleteceği yerde “iç çamaşırı göründü”, “meme elleyelim” türü ergen eğlendiricilerle vakit kaybediliyor. İkinci ciltte (ana hikaye ile bağlanacak mı bilmiyorum ama) kitabın sonundaki kısa “Digitopolis” bölümü daha çok ilgimi çekti. Hem ikinci savaşta hem Fukuşima’da kötü tecrübeleri taze olan bir halkın radyasyonla ilgili böyle bir hikaye okuması nasıldır diye düşündürdü.

This was my favorite part so far cus you actually get to see them fight. But yeah, it's kinda way too sexual for me. I'll probably still finish it though.

This review is for the entire series.
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.

Pues seguimos avanzando con este manga y, si habéis visto mis historias, habréis comprobado que está muy interesante. La trama avanza a pasos agigantados y parece que se vaya a terminar ya, pero hay diez tomos más. Mi personaje favorito sigue siendo Nyu, sin duda alguna. Y bueno, ya odio a algunos personajes, la verdad, y otros no me caen bien. Como Yuka, que no es mala la chica, pero tiene algo que no me gusta, no sabría decir qué. No me cae en gracia. Lo siento.
De nuevo hemos tenido una pequeña historia al final que no tiene nada que ver con Elfen Lied, pero ha estado también genial y muy bien trabajada. Me ha gustado más que la de la primera, porque esa era super triste y esta es más interesante.

idk why but I love her pose on this cover.
The art in this manga is definitely uh not the best but, I still find it kind of endearing. There's just something about their massive kind of droopy eyes, and the way the artist draws evil smiles. very fun!

This volume felt mostly confusing. Not sure what the story wants to be. At this point it feels like too many genres combined. The funny ecchi and the violence don't always fit together.

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.

Volume 2 picked up some of the slack that I found to be a problem in volume 1, but it also lost some ground because I really hate the cousin. Compared to the anime the art is so simple and at times incredibly lifeless, but there are moments when it looks fantastic which are usually during Lucy related scenes. This one continues it's slow descent into utter darkness bringing in new ideas as we meet Nana, another Diclonis.
I'll definitely keep reading the series, but so far watching the anime is proving to be more preferred at this point.

The story continues a bit less violent and with the introduction of some new characters. I am not 100% sure if I like the plot with Kota and Yuka. Everything looks too cute and the boy stumbles from one embarrassing situation into the other.
The main story is great though and I can't wait to start with Elfen Lied #3.

Great volumen. The story is developing interestingly.
The addition of new characters to the plot and showing us their feelings makes it more complex.
The comedy has been fun. Some ecchi moments and gore. With a showing ending with the introduction of one vilain and his twisted planes.

5* може и да са множко, но тази манга ме пренесе десетилетие назад във времето, когато бях келеш и гледах анимето. Дотук двете се препокриват на 100%, което ме радва адски, но вече има и нови детайли, които следя с интерес. В главата ми все още звучи Lilium.

So far this manga has been impressive. Who knew ultra-violence and ultra-cuteness work so well together.

I don't like the art or the story-telling, but the concept it self is cool. Not sure if I want to read the rest or not, considering the price.. :/

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.
