There is a lain Manga!!! HoaX 10/05/04(Tue)11:20 No.1 [Reply]

i found something strange in "ab# rebuild an omnipresence in the wired".
there is a time line about abe's works in this artbook. one subitem got my attention:
1998
03 "lain" manga series begins in anime magazine ax (sony magazines).
this took place befor the anime was released.
it clearly says "series" so it cant be a reference to "nightmare of fabrication".
im realy confused about this cause im searching for anything about and with lain for more than 4 years and i never heared about a manga series.
so does anyone here knows more about it?

Well, either fortunately or unfortunately for you, what you're looking for is already published in Omnipresence. I'd direct you to the 'Step by Step' page, wherein it states 'The Layer series was serialized in Sony Magazine' AX Magazine.' That Layer series is found earlier on in the book, and is basically a composition of single- or double-page images and words.

>>	cj_iwakura 10/05/05(Wed)22:44 No.4 I'd like to think that there's more to Lain than what we've seen, seeing as how ABe did mangas and/or doujins for both NieA_7 and Haibane Renmei. (These having not been localized yet is a crime against humanity.)

>>	WM 10/05/11(Tue)16:02 No.6 There's a game though. I heard some rumours on mebious.co.uk about it getting translated. Any info on this?

>>	cj_iwakura 10/05/11(Tue)17:16 No.7 >>6 That was literally years ago. Just watch the clips online. It's more of a visual novel than anything, and NOT canon. SPOILERS It ends with Lain shooting herself, and included a random shower scene for no reason at all.

>>	WM 10/05/12(Wed)08:34 No.8 I've seen the clips. I'm more interested in actually playing the "game." I got the game from some torrent a while ago. Most of the text is in english, but I'd like transcripts for all the audio recordings as well.

>>	cj_iwakura 10/05/12(Wed)16:59 No.9 From what I understand, you're really not missing much. It's basically a psych profile game. Still, if you can share the torrent, I wouldn't mind trying it. Maybe I'll figure some of it out beyond what I've heard.

>>	HoaX 10/05/20(Thu)18:08 No.10 There is this project and they allways look for some help.

>>	Anonymous 10/05/22(Sat)02:13 No.11 >>10 That's what we referred to.

>>	cj_iwakura 10/05/23(Sun)22:23 No.12 "Current translation progress is: 15.39% (52 minutes and 23 seconds out of 340 minutes and 22 seconds). " Yeah, good luck with that.

>>	Anonymous 10/07/15(Thu)23:29 No.13 >>7 > Lain-- > "random shower scene for no reason at all"-- ---That's plenty enough reason for me : P

>>	Anonymous 11/01/25(Tue)08:36 No.14 There is also a short film about the Lain manga "The nightmare of fabrication", it's called Layers, I found it on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvCMRPHKCuY

>>	Anonymous 11/02/15(Tue)04:35 No.15 >>7 I thought Lain had reincarnated after dying in that game as the child of the wired in the series.
