Der Zeichenstil wird immer besser. Elfenlied artet immer mehr aus. Mir fehlt einfach diese Grundstimmung. Rein von der Story tut sich nicht sehr viel. Ich hatte die ganze Reihe anders in Erinnerung.

I would have never believed it, but this series is somewhat addicting.

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.

July 15, 2022J’avoue que je suis déçue par ce quatrième tome.
O.K, l’affrontement entre Mariko et son père était dans un premier temps intéressant, mais je m’en suis vite lassée parce que la dicronius est une vraie girouette, elle change d’avis comme de chemise (plus vite en fait), ne s’en tient pas à ses décisions, elle est juste pathétique.
C’est un tome qui n’apporte rien à l’histoire. Et je me suis ennuyée, je n’avais qu’une hâte : que ça se termine pour passer à une lecture plus sympa.

Estos mangas son cada vez más geniales, y recién voy por el cuarto volumen.
¡Me encantó ver cómo es que Lucy se vuelve una asesina! Y el final, DIOS!

Der vierte Band ist echt komplett weg von Anime und sooo brutal, pervers und spannend. Ich brauch erstmal ne Pause, bis ich den nächsten anfange.
