About
Lucy is a Diclonius — a horned mutation of humanity with invisible telekinetic arms capable of effortless slaughter — kept sedated and studied in a seaside research facility. Her escape is a massacre; her landing is something stranger. Washed ashore with amnesia and the mind of a child, she's taken in by two students who name the gentle persona 'Nyu,' unaware of what sleeps underneath. The series alternates between shocking brutality and quiet domestic warmth, asking with genuine anguish whether monsters are born or manufactured by the people who cage them.
