I recommend looking up and reading the short manga "Soprano Dramatico" after the final chapter for more closure regarding Nozomi.

Wow Lucy and Nyuu as the twins at the end, didn't expect that, sweet ending I guess, which somewhat fits it or not

but who's the father of those twins not to mention mother? i think nana. just because she's unable to bear children, doesn't mean she can't.

I don't care, after so much suffering and grotesque scenes, this was a great end to the series, Bando coming back as the terminator completely fitting and endearing. At last, they meet again.

Iam not sure what the author was trying to achieve through this ending except to please all sets of readers .Different times different opinions i guess.
Instead i would treat this chapter as inconsequential and the real ending when Lucy died.
Iam glad to read the manga after i watched the anime.The enthralling music plays a big part in why i liked the anime and the manga .Kept imagining Lilium in my head haha.
Lucy is not one of the best written characters but surely one of the best tragic characters ever i have came across in manga.
Unlike the silpetits who were brought up tortured, Lucy had a glimpse of the glow worms humanity could offer,multiple times.Everytime she wanted to take part she was ripped apart and made known of her identity .A tumour which can't ever partake in the goodwill of society.
To this day iam not sure whether the call of her dna was imprinted since her birth or was a result of the treatment deemed to her.
Anyway Elfen Lied gets a 9/10 from me

It was a nice story, but could have ended better with less ressurections and some random things didnt happened, it didnt felt much cohesive and sometimes it did drag (the ship chunk on ending chapters, backstory of the friend of kouta´s cousin and some alike).

The ecchi-like scenes and the humorous ones cointaining that were not necessary but they are far from being such huge flaws that everyone LOVES to exagerate them as being. It makes the manga feel less serious? Yes, agree, but it was meant to combine that with the drama on the manga, in contrary of the anime so no problem, but was it borderline hentai that filled pages tremendously and ruined the manga all the way? Of course not, but people here like to exagerate sexual scenes a lot so it is expected to see that on MAL nowadays. Also the violent scenes were well meant... violent things were happening, i dont get the complaint that this is all "edgy trash", coming from someone that likes edgy content and recognizes edgy. It is primarily a drama, first and foremost.

Lucy was done better in the anime as well, but her tragic character was still good regardless. Kouta was a blank slate, his cousin a trashcan, the rest were nice enough. Overall not a bad manga, but if it was done more like the anime it could have been great, it had a great premise and sometimes it was fun (bando is an example, as well as the some of the humor around that). But i get why someone who prefered the style, tone and "writing" of the anime would think the manga is bad by comparison, because it does indeed lack a cohesive approach. The ending was really only bad for lucy, would have been better if she wasnt the only one to end up screwed to enhance the tragedy in a more organic way.

The fact that lucy's "killee behavior" was more nature than nurture i didnt liked much compared to the anime as well

Reply to Edfelson
I don't understand reincarnation all too well, does this mean the twins have Lucy's Soul and memories or what?
@Edfelson I think it had to do with Japanese Symbolism Benzaiten is a Buddhist-Shinto goddess, originally adapted from the Hindu Sarasvati, associated with a dual personality :

Beauty & Love – feminine power, allure.

but also destruction

So I think he used that paralallel in Elfen Lied to make a symbolic rebirth of Kaede into twins

what a complete absolute garbage of a manga, everytime lucy was about to die some very convenient distraction in the form of an imbecile from the maple inn would show up to interrupt just in time, and those very imbeciles would constantly make excuses and even forgive the very same killer of the sister and father because oh no, i cant be mean to the mass murderer, and how the plot constantly tries to push this shit that lucy and nyuu and "not the same person" and is sad for killing a bunch of people, what a pathetic attempt to gartner sympathy for a character that has committed so many atrocities, and how to forget the bare bores really shitty "art" of characters and backgrounds, fuck this shit for its apologist bullshit, for its lack of quality, for its convenient saves of the main character and for having rob me of my valuable time
