Elfen Lied

I just started reading this awesome manga (I am on Volume 5 now) and I was wondering why this was not more popular or was it popular when it came out? I know that the anime is rated very well, but I am surprised that this manga is not viewed the same. It has a great story (very involving), great characters and a lot of action.

Well, several people have commented negatively on the quality of the drawings. *shrug* Me, I like this manga a LOT. The story is gripping.

Does anyone know when more chapters will be put up; I am so hooked on this awesome manga?

Also, will this manga ever be licensed in the U.S., especially where the anime is so popular? And lastly, how much does the Anime cover with regards to the manga, does the manga go beyond the anime?

Thanks,

War.

- nope, not a single idea
- not a single idea (again)
- by now it looks like the manga covers more story than the anime Very Happy

As far as I know, the anime is supposed to end at volume 6 and the manga is supposed to have 12 volumes, could be wrong. Confused

they're still translating the chapters and we're all waiting on the eng scans, but the manga is finished already in japanese i believe, and it has like 115ish chapters? i checked on wikipedia and i think it said around that much.

kouta is just a perv is denial lol. that's why i like him so much in the manga and anime because there isn't really any male character i've seen that has a personality like him. all the others are pretty much unoriginal besides maybe lucy,,, though i've seen personalities similliar to her...

yuna isn't as annoying in the manga as she is in the anime,,, because they haven't left out as many details but that's just a random thought.
