Plot:
The story begins with a naked young girl named Lucy who escapes
under odd circumstances from an island research-facility off the
coast of Kamakura in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan. Lucy manages
to nonchalantly dismember and slay 23 (14 in the manga) of the
staff and guards with some form of seemingly supernatural power and
gets outside. A sniper is ordered to kill her but only manages to
ricochet the bullet off the metal helmet encasing her head. Lucy
falls off a cliff into the sea and is not found again by the
research staff.
Lucy is not a normal human but in fact a Diclonius which is a
mutant strain of humans who have two small horns on their heads
(hence the name diclonius) and possess telekinetic powers through
use of their "Vectors", which are arms that project from the backs
with varying numbers and length of reach depending on the
diclonius.
The next day, a boy named Kouta arrives at Kamakura to meet his
cousin Yuka. Kouta has come to study at a university there and has
been given the use of an old family-owned inn, The "Maple (÷,
kaede?) Inn", provided he acts as the caretaker there. After
meeting with Yuka, they go to visit the beach and find Lucy washed
up there, still naked and bleeding from her head. However, the
head-trauma that Lucy has experienced has caused her to develop a
split personality, "Ny¨±". In stark contrast, Ny¨± is completely
docile, harmless and is incapable at first of saying anything other
than "Ny¨±". Not knowing what to do with her, Kouta and Yuka take
her back to the inn to look after her.
While Kouta, Ny¨± and Yuka begin settling into a new life, the
researchers begin hunting for Lucy and characters on both sides
find themselves in a situation much more complex than they
originally anticipated
