“Elfen Lied” was created by Lynn Okamoto and has been published into 107 chapters, 12 volumes for manga and 13 episodes TV anime. The difference between the manga version and the anime version is minimal. However, I will focus on the anime genre.
Summary
This is an animation about a young girl named Lucy escaping under odd circumstances from an insular research facility off the coast of Kamakura in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan. Lucy manages to nonchalantly dismember and slay a fair number of the staff and guards with a form of seemingly supernatural power and gets outside. A sniper is seen trying to shoot her, only managing to ricochet a bullet off her metal. Lucy then falls off a cliff into the sea, bleeding from her head but ultimately surviving and evading the research staff. However, Lucy is not a normal human so she is alive. She went to a town call “Kamakura” and meets the boy “Kohta” and stay in Kohta cousin’s place. However, the researchers from the laboratory where Lucy was held begin searching for her, dispatching both human and a group of modified humans called diclonius agents to hunt her down.
In my opinion, I think the overall story is pretty cool, some of the themes explored are, the supernatural, mental disorders, sex and controversial science. However, I was very disappointed with how the story ended. The ending does not really tell viewers about Lucy’s fate. Therefore, my story will retell the ending of this anime and also extend on some more ideas, for instance, does Lucy continue to live or are the researchers still looking her.

Hello Victor,
Wow, another fanfiction based on violence as the main theme?
I am definetely interested in seeing what will be the life that Lucy leads when she is still on the run from the baddies.
Mental disorders and supernatural power do not exactly mix well, don't they?
Perhaps you should give us some clearer ideas on what your plot outline is?
e.g : How did Lucy escape from the baddies? What tactics were used? Any close shaven encounter?
Looking forward to read your work.
Yeah, this is turning into the dark manga site. Perhaps I should retool your page with a black background and red text? (though, some deathe and sacrifice aside Maho's proposal is kinda a romance).
Pear Jin, you da blogger. But there are 'close shaves' and 'close encounters'. A 'close shave encounter' implies something not quite, I suspect, what you had in mind!
haha omg , i just realized what that means.
please forgive me, im after all a second language speaker. (haha, the perfect excuse)
i wonder if i'd said that out aloud before in front of others.
After i post my comments about the voilent feacture in fantasy. Victor's proposal really was not surprised me indeed. Look, currently, three boys in our group chose violent ones, two girls want to make romantic and happy ending. Another girl is definitely a pure animal lover with most tender emotion. We only have one boy left who hasn’t post his idea, let's see what will happen, i hope he is a romantic boy.
Anyway, it seems I went too far, back to the proposal, as long as the hero is a female; I am still looking forward to read it. Am I a feminist, perhaps!
Hello, Victor.
I think I saw this anime before, and yes, I was little bit depressed in the end of episode, because there are no any result for the final. Anyway, I will looking forward your work. Perhaps you can make a nice ending for that lol.
