When I first watched Elfen Lied, I never expected Bando to survive his first fight with Lucy...I simply thought he was going to be tortured to dead by her. In the anime he stays an asshole, but the manga really gave him more development, becoming an important character and Mayu's guardian in some way...

I still think I'm hilarious

That’s my type of humor.

Just finished reading the Dark Horse printing/omnibus of Elfen Lied...

I guess if you want a physical copy it's fine, thank god they finally brought it over, but I'd still recommend actually reading it for the first time with the fan translations for a few reasons...

1. The swearing and memes are really distracting. Obviously Bando is rude as hell and he's intended to be comic relief sorta but Nana swearing? Mariko???? NANI THE FUCK?

2. Nana is so different tonally, she isn't as naive or uneducated so some of the best minor jokes just got lost...she also does not call Kurama "Papa" exclusively, that's literally...like, you had one job.

3. Whoever edited the speech bubbles with screaming, you know what you did and I will not forgive you. Actually there are several places where the tone is totally different due to editing choices... In a bad way.

4. These motherfuckers somehow accidentally mixed up the order of some pages in Omni 1.

Overall most of this boils down to an apparent lack of a proofreader. It is still my favorite manga though and I'm glad I was finally able to support it, but I feel like in some ways and in some places, the ball was dropped, kicked and slammed against the wall like lucys puppy

It was nice to see the art so crisp though. I first read Elfen Lied about 15 years ago, so everything was a scanned jpeg. I also like how a lot of the pages were set up for the physical format, which I hadn't experienced before, since I'd read it just one page at a time.

Big F in the chat for the full anime adaptation that will never be

Elfen Lied – 13 (Fin) – A Brief Dream in This Hell

As Kouta wanders home in a daze, his memories returning thanks to the violent sights he’s seen, Kurama fishes Nana out of the water, saving his daughter once again and admonishing her for not moving much, much further away (though his instructions should have been more detailed). Lucy neutralizes Bando (though notably doesn’t kill him), and Shirakawa’s assistant keeps the dormant Mariko safe—and keeps her self-destruct safely in his hand.

Mariko’s powers return and she escapes her captors, and then she and Lucy find each other and have a duel. It’s a testament to Lucy’s experience and toughness in Diclonius combat that she manages to last as long as she does against a far superior opponent. But while she loses a horn and a fair amount of blood, Mariko fails to kill Lucy off…because her dad arrives in time to stop her.

Just as she could tell her “mother” was a fake, Mariko can instantly sense that Kurama is indeed her father, and is shocked when he pulls his gun on her. When she spots Nana with Kurama, and hears her call him Papa, Mariko’s jealousy spills out and she proceeds to beat Nana up with her Vectors.

Then Kurama drops his gun, draws in close, and wraps his real daughter in his warm embrace…for the first time. He carries her off while ordering the assistant to activate the device. This time the child whose life he takes is his own, but he goes out with her, assuring her that both her parents loved her to their last breaths.

The assistant is about to shoot Nana, but his head is blown off…by Lucy. She can’t go back home to Kouta after what she’s done, but Nana is innocent and good and kind, so she asks Nana to do what she can’t and live a good and happy life. Nana obeys.

Back at the facility, Kurakawa reveals he’s a wannabe Diclonius just like his son, while Arakawa quietly hides Kouta’s record, feeling bad for him. We’ll never know if she ever got that bath…

Then we have an extended and emotional goodbye between Lucy and Kouta, who finally realizes that she, Nyu, and the girl he met at the orphanage were all her. Lucy tells him the happiest days were the ones with him as a boy. They were a brief and beautiful dream in the hell that was her life, and she survived this long so she could tell him how sorry she was for what went down.

She turns to leave, but Kouta won’t let her go just yet. In fact, he wants her to stay, even if he can’t forgive her. They kiss and embrace, reenacting the Klimt painting, with Lucy flashing an El Greco hand. We then see Lucy on the bridge, facing a huge military force, and a battle ensues…with an intentionally ambiguous result.

Some time later, the household of Kouta, Yuka, Mayu and Nana is a happy one. Nana’s cooking skills are improving, and they have an extra place setting for Lucy. Then they hear Wanta barking outside, and Kouta goes to see who it is.

The silhouette behind the paper door looks a lot like Lucy in her dress, but before he can open the door to confirm it, the grandfather clock Nyu always messed with, which he could’ve sworn was permanently silent, begins to chime.

And so we say farewell to the brutal, haunting, and poignant Elfen Lied, a story as much about how some can continue to endure, love, and be loved after living through unspeakable suffering—and how some can’t—as it is about scientific arrogance and ambition gone awry. Heck, it’s about a lot more than that, and I’ll be thinking about its hard-hitting symbols and themes for a long time.
