Elfen Lied. Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート, Erufen Rīto?) Is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Lynn Okamoto. It was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump from June 2002 to August 2005, with the 107 chapters collected into twelve tankōbon volumes. Elfen Lied revolves around the interactions, views, emotions, and differences between human beings and the Diclonii, a mutant species similar to humans in build but distinguishable by two horns on their heads and "vectors", transparent telekinetically controlled arms that have the power to manipulate and cut objects within their reach.
The series is centered on the teenage Diclonius girl "Lucy" who was rejected by human beings and subsequently wants revenge. Plot and characters[edit] Lucy is found by two locals, Kohta, who studies at the local university, and his cousin Yuka. Diclonius[edit] A key point of debate throughout the series is the Diclonius propensity towards violence. Production[edit] Anime[edit] Style and themes[edit] Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. DEATH NOTE - U.S. Official Anime Site. Ghost in the Shell. Title[edit] Shirow has stated that he had always wanted the title of his manga to be "GHOST IN THE SHELL", even in Japan, but his original publishers preferred Kōkaku Kidōtai (攻殻機動隊?).
He had chosen "Ghost in the Shell" in homage to Arthur Koestler's The Ghost in the Machine, from which he also drew inspiration.[1] Setting[edit] Primarily set in the mid-twenty-first century in the fictional Japanese city of Niihama, Niihama Prefecture (新浜県新浜市, Niihama-ken Niihama-shi?) ,[Note 1] otherwise known as New Port City (ニューポートシティ, Nyū Pōto Shiti?) , the manga and the many anime adaptations follow the members of Public Security Section 9, a special-operations task-force made up of former military officers and police detectives. In this post-cyberpunk iteration of a possible future, computer technology has advanced to the point that many members of the public possess cyberbrains, technology that allows them to interface their biological brain with various networks.
