Captured and isolated against their will, the Diclonius species are a threat waiting to break free. When a young Diclonius girl, Nyu, escapes from the research facility she was being held in, she manages finds solace in two allies, until danger finds her again, putting everyone at risk. However, her enemies soon realize they're in over their heads as an attempt to subdue Nyu results in unspeakable tragedy.
Cited as an inspiration for Stranger Things by the show's creators:
"I had seen an anime called Elfen Lied that is clearly inspired by Akira. And that was really influential. When I watched it I though it felt like an ultraviolent E.T. There were a lot of things in there that I really liked and that made their way into the show, particularly related to the character of Eleven."--Matt Duffer, Co-Creator of Stranger Things
The first of four omnibuses containing all twelve of the original volumes published in Japan!

This manga is over 20 years and I'm finally getting around to reading it. This manga is combined with volumes 1, 2 and 3. There's also 3 different bonus stories that are completely unrelated to the main story in Elfen Lied. The manga is VERY different from the anime. For instance Director Kurama is bit more cold and callous compared to the anime and Lucy is FAR more sinister in the manga compared to her stoic cold-blooded ruthless attitude in the anime. I had also forgotten how much of a naive jealous unlikable b**** Yuka is. That part of Yuka hasn't really changed in either the anime or the manga. There's a reason why so many people HATE her character. Always treating Kouta like dirt because he can't remember her. Even though Yuka KNOWS Kouta has amnesia. Which Kouta subconsciosly made himself forget in order to cope with his traumatic past. Yuka deserved to shoe to the face! Anyway, great volume. This time intend to see this story to its true end this time! Better late than never.
