Lynn Okamoto

The way Elfen Lied had a chokehold on me in middle school... Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Reading this I wonder if the anime was much better? Here the drama of the diclonius storyline is constantly interrupted by fanservice and questionable "romantic" elements I wouldn't have batted an eye at 18 years ago, but read muuuuch differently as an adult.

2.5-3.0

This short story collection includes two separate stories about lonely guys buying a (sex) doll that inexplicably come to life and predictably fall in love with the main character and then die near the end. Same thing with the short story about the escaped fairy, which also falls in love with the MC and dies at the end. That's what I noticed with Okamoto's other work, Brynhildr, too, which had many (obvious) similarities with his previous work Elfen Lied.

Also, fanservice.

随所にエッチなシーンがあるのだが、画の表現力にそのシーンをよりムラムラさせるみたいな魅力がなく、ドキドキしない。むしろそういうシーンで笑ってしまう。高校生のくせに、あまりに飛びすぎるのも気になる。ラージヒルでもないのに120mとか。とはいえ高梨さんにはいい成績をおさめてほしい。

究極のツンデレではじまり、たんなるデレデレで終わる。
巻末の著者のメッセージの絵が『ノノノノ』と同じなのに気づき、原案者であるのに驚く。
