Elfen Lied, Kanojo no Kagi wo Akeru Houhou Recommendations
I wouldn't recommend the Kanojo manga due to it being terribly raunchy (please avoid this series) however if i may make a comparison to Elfen Lied, Chitose is like mild, non violent, tad happier version of flash back Lucy. like Lucy she's cold and unfriendly and brooding. both are cold and unfriendly for their respective reasons. Lucy due to trauma and abuse while the Chitose due to stress from having to balance her family being in a bad financial state+having a pregnant sister. like Lucy, Chitose is cold to the boy yet softens up eventually except lucy more than
Chitose. Chitose also compares to Lucy in Nyuu mode due to inappropriate touching except one out of dirty intent while the other out of innocent childlike curiosity and exploration. on the flip side, Chitose can also compare to Yuka being that she is sorta jealous of the other girls getting inappropriately close to the main guy. also both yuka and chitose wear striped panties chitose more than yuka (in fact yuka only wears the striped panties in the anime and kanojo doesnt have an anime) both Nyuu and yuka compare to Chitose because of the romance and both series feature the main guy living in some kind of home where all sorts of girls including the main girl on each story make some point or another to live there with the boy. (romantic love interest lives with each respective guy) chitose lives with the main guy throughout kanojo like nyuu and yuka lives with kouta throughout elfenlied but in both scenarios the girls add up. ecchi moments and comedic moments happen. both elfen lied and kanojo has alot of nudity except one is used for typical ecchi fanservice while the other is used for psychological and cruel reasons . elfen lied is dark while Kanojo is slice of life . elfen lied is slightly more cleaner on the ecchi department (albeit slightly) yet very violent gory and sad. yet kanojo is more light hearted and more comedic and void of any blood and gore yet awfully ecchi. both of them are controversial in their own manner. both of them have their ways of being disturbing.
