Elfin Lied
Elfen Lied (エルフェンリート, Erufen Rīto?) is the title of a Japanese manga series originally created by Japanese author Lynn Okamoto as well as a TV anime series based on it. Elfen Lied focuses on a mysterious and deadly breed of horned humans called "diclonius", and the havoc they wreak upon humanity. The title Elfen Lied is German for "Elf Song" (see Lied), and pronounced approximately [ˈɛlfən liːd], although the correct German spelling would be "Elfenlied".
Elfen Lied first began as a manga series, serialized in the magazine Weekly Young Jump and published in Japan by Shueisha, ending at the completion of the twelfth volume. An anime adaptation began airing in Japan on July 25, 2004 while the unfinished manga was still in production. This caused the anime plot to differ in some ways from the manga plot. A bonus OVA episode was released on April 21, 2005 giving some more background information.
So far, only the anime series spanning 13 episodes and the OVA have been licensed in the United States, by ADV Films. ADV Films said the series was one of their bestselling[1] and "most notorious"[2] releases of 2005. Elfen Lied and the character Nana were the inspiration for the popular Clone Manga fan-webcomic "Nana's Everyday Life" which has been completed and fully translated from English into 6 other languages.
