I guess I might also add something more to Elfen Lied: By the time I finished the anime, the Manga only existed in japanese, mexican and korean and no other language (yes, no english version). Odd I know, but that's how it was.

But the German version was being worked on and scheduled to come out three or four month later and I immediately pre-ordered it and bided the time until release with the fan scantilation.

This is the only manga I know where the German version was made before the English version.
