Elfen Lied 3
Nyu taucht wieder auf. Und plötzlich kann sie reden! Bevor Kota und Yuka allerdings richtig begreifen, was mit ihr vor sich geht und was sie erzählt, brabbelt sie schon wieder wie ein Kleinkind. Doch wie lange wird es dauern, bis die Diclonius wieder ihr zweites unbarmherziges Gesicht zeigt? Und was geschieht mit Nana, der anderen Diclonius? Wird Herr Kurama sie tatsächlich einfach töten, wie es ihm befohlen wurde?

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.

Dieser Teil hat diesmal eine Kurzgeschichte, die ich wirklich schön fand.
Zum Inhalt des Mangas brauch ich nichts zu sagen. Die Hintergründe zu den Dicloneus werden hier nochmal sehr ausgeweitet erzählt. Wie alles anfing usw. Das war richtig interessant.
Ich fühl mich bei den Mangas irgendwie swhr gestört von diesen übertrieben erotischen Szenen. Aber glaub das gehört teilweise zu einem Manga dazu? (Hab da nicht so viel Erfahrung) Auf der einen Seite macht genau das den Manga sooooo Teeniehaft. Dann gibt es wieder diese wahnsinnig tolle Hauptgeschichte und man denkt wieder: Ok was solls, ich les da einfach drüber weg.
3 Bände noch. Nach dem letzten zieh ich ein endgültiges Fazit.

Ich habe meine Japanische Version gefunden: Kozomi. Gemeinsamer Wunschberuf, gleiche Liebe zum Gesang und ich würde wie sie handeln :D

On ne voit pas tellement Nyu dans ce troisième tome. Tous les personnages qui sont apparus depuis le début de cette série ont des moments rien qu’à eux et ça prend de la place dans l’histoire. Pas mal de passages se passent dans le laboratoire avec le vieux fou (j’ai un trou sur le nom et j’ai la flemme de chercher).
Les dessins s’améliorent, du moins j’ai l’impression. Les décors m’ont semblé plus soignés, les vêtements plus travaillés, les corps moins maigrichons.
J’ai passé un agréable moment avec cette lecture que j’ai adorée.

Für mich ist und bleibt Elfen Lied der Beste Manga den ich kenne und auch der 3te Band konnte mich wieder komplett von sich überzeugen.
