No. Definitivamente voy a dejar de leer este manga porque me esta arruinando el "cariño" que le tenia a la historia. Ya nada tiene sentido de lo que pasa acá y siento que la están alargando de más.
Una pena porque la trama tenia un re potencial. Lo arruinaron.
My expression doesn't change while I read this manga. People died here and there and I can't really connect to characters and all the way I want Lucy to kill them all. The science part was nice though, that's why I'll try to finish, but it isn't interesting anymore. ..
No se en que momento esto se torno entre turbio y re turbio . Solo dire esto es returbio pero bueno en cierto sentido. El manga si tiene diferencias con el anime xd
Anime serinin burasında sonlanacak şekilde tasarlanmıştı. Zaten animeyi geçen günlerde izlediğimde seri ile pek çok şeyin örtüşmediğini fark etmiştim. Böyle bir yol çizmişler anime için ama manga da daha farklı olaylar da bu kitapta başlıyor, ana karakterlerden pek çoğu hikayeden çıkıyor. Oldukça hoş ve okuması da heyecanlı bir kitaptı.
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.
Relectura 2025: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Me siento super desconectado con todo por culpa del camino que toma el mangaka contando la historia. De la poca que quiere mostrar...
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.
Sinceramente, todavía quedan varios tomos y no sé que van a dejar para ellos porque entre este y el anterior, está concentrado todo lo interesante 😂😂😂😂. En fin, este manga es como Juego de tronos, no puedes cogerle cariño a ningún personaje. Y por supuesto, tiene escenas muy fuerte que ni un Dark Romance 😂😂😂. Bueno, me estoy pasando un poco creo, pero es que como es visual, parece mucho más de lo que es. Aunque como en el Dark Romance, hay que ir teniendo las ideas claras de lo que se va a encontrar. Violencia por un tubo. A mí me encanta porque es una historia muy profunda, bonita y triste. Toda esa mezcla hace del manga muy especial y lo recomiendo para personas que sepan apreciar este tipo de cosas, pero lo dicho, no es para todo el mundo. Pensarlo bien antes de leer o ver el anime. Por lo pronto, yo necesito ponerme con el siguiente tomo, a ver como sigue la historia.
Oldukça aksiyon yüklü ve yüksek tempolu bir ciltti. O kadar ki sonlarına gelirken “artık ne olacaksa olsun da bitsin şu kısım” diye düşündürdü. Son iki ciltte Nana’ya üzülüyordum. Yine acı çekmeye devam ediyor. Neyse ki o da mutluluğu buldu. Yuka neredeyse hiç yoktu. Bu, cilt için büyük bir artı demektir. Büyük plan devreye girdi ama meğerse daha başka planlar da varmış. Kakuzava bakalım daha nasıl şaşırtacak bizleri.
Anime sanırım bu civarlarda bitmişti. Gerisi bana da sürpriz olacak.
Empiezo por aquí porque es en el tomo 7 donde la historia desde el anime diverge de la del manga. Acabé el anime tras revérmelo y me quedé con ganas de más, y como tantos otros, aquí estoy. Me gusta mucho el ritmo de los capítulos y el estilo manga de principios de los 2000s. Seguiremos leyendo a ver cómo sigue. ^^
That was brutal. An action-packed volume with heartbreak and I clicked secrets. Probably my favourite volume so far. Lucy-san is such a badass in her true form - or what I assume it her true diclonius form.
This one is quite an improvement in areas. We don't get a lot of weird relationship building between two characters most people don't actually care about, and we don't get a lot of weirdly placed fanservice (it's still there of course, but it's not every chapter). We get to know more about Diclonius as well as the backstory for Mariko (35). I believe this is around the area that the anime ends.
*Primer libro de la Maratón RavenClub* ñ.ñ Hay momentos hermosos y otros en que me dan ganas de sacarle la cabeza a Okamoto tal como hace Lucy. Parece que siempre se arrepiente de lo que escribe :/ lo cual me enfurece!
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.
