Yep, making a thread about it. I've been reading the manga for about a year and didn't even know it was basically the spiritual successor to Elfen Lied, which I also liked (the manga more than the anime). Unfortunately...I can't see this series ending well, which is a shame cause I like the characters a lot.
In case you clicked on this without knowing what it is here's a summary taken from the site I read the manga at:
Kiwaguro no Brynhildr Manga
Summary:
When he was a child, Murakami was infatuated with a girl he called Kuroneko. She insisted on knowing about aliens and having met them, but no one believed her, even young Murakami was skeptical. One day, she decides to show him the aliens, but an accident occurs and Kuroneko dies while Murakami is left seriously wounded in the hospital. Years go by and Murakami obsesses on finding proof of the existence of aliens because of a promise he had made with Kuroneko. Then, one day, a new transfer student comes to his class, who not only looks a lot like Kuroneko, but is named Kuroha Neko! And even though she insists on never having met Murakami before, the girl has superhuman strength and seems to even be able to predict the future! How will Murakami's life change now that he has been saved by this mysterious girl that claims to be a magician.
^ Though this summary doesn't actually do the series justice since it almost sounds like a rom-com setup. Let me assure you it's not, in fact it's probably the darker than Elfen Lied was, without spoiling anything, let's just say things don't go their way.
