I've only skimmed through the Elfen Lied manga, but Okamoto seems to have some kinda liking for sci-fi experimentation with girls, cuz Brynhildr is pretty much another Elfen Lied, cept toned town and with a plot more centered on the male lead. Also, the male lead isn't that bad, but it's also kinda scary that he adapts to gore so easily. But then, +1 for Murakami's strategies and ability to confuse and awe the hell out of both his friends and enemies, just with his only significant trait being his photographic memory.
The story and plot seem very Elfen Lied like, a lil too much put that's ok, cuz we got waifus (go Kana potential!) with nice character back-stories and character development! Idk bout yall but when reading manga that tends to be a lil dark and gory, I like a good backstory to get the reader a good sense of what the character(s) have been through. After reading a few arcs you might find the story a bit gloomy and dragging on but w/e problems or flaws or even ridiculous plot armor might occur the characters make Brynhildr an enjoyable read, and their development throughout the story is what I see as the main reason to keep reading this.

*For those of you who watched the anime adaption before knowing about the manga, plz be assured the anime is far from the manga, and edited/distorted way too much. Cuz ik what's like to be horribly disappointed with an anime adaption gone wrong, and this was one of the worst."
Since I first came across this manga, I seriously wanted to make a review but prolonged it. But here it is, my 1st review, though it has a bit of fluff in it. ;p Again, Kana 4 best gurl.
