Nana's Everyday Life is a webcomic by Daniel Kim based on Elfen Lied and, to a lesser degree, Gunslinger Girl. It combines tragedy with Kim's obscene sense of humor to produce a unique mix, which might be why it is one of his more popular comics.

Disclaimer on website: Weirdness; cuteness. 13+ suggested. Note: The 13+ age rating is that suggested by Dan Kim. Given the frequent depictions of bloody violence, nudity, rape and child abuse, and a general depressing tone, it would almost certainly warrant a more restrictive rating if published.

Synopsis

Nana is a diclonius, a special being with catgirl-like horns who lives at a laboratory. After her arms and legs are blown off in a twisted turn of events, her Papa tosses her into the garbage. Nana finds a box to sleep in for several days, after being raped by 4chan meme Pedobear. Eventually, she is found by Mayu, a young girl who ran away from her sexually abusive father. They then move in with the girls from Gunslinger Girl. However, after a few days, the girls steal Nana's sole possessions, tell her that her father is never going to come back to get her, and kick her down a flight of stairs. This crushes Nana's spirit, and she jumps off a bridge.

Thirteen months later, Nana is naked on the auction block. After not being sold, she is taken to the docks to be "disposed of" by Marcelo, but after an attack of conscience he takes her home. At his home, she is taken care of by the maid and lives a relatively happy life at first, but after a while Nana begins to be treated more like a pet than a daughter. Marcelo's maid-cum-mother-figure, Minami, begins to realize that Nana needs more love, but before long, Nana's "real father" is found, and he takes Nana back, apparently killing Marcelo and Minami.

Back at the lab, Nana's Papa has her organs harvested and various painful experiments done on her. After her body finally becomes too weak to be of use to "Papa," she is thrown into a "biohazard waste disposal unit". She somehow manages to escape to the ocean, where she finally loses her misguided faith in her Papa. Nana pulls herself up to an alley and discovers a tiny kitten—the first being since Minami and Marcelo that has been willing to show her affection. The kitten is dead the next morning, and after making a grave for the kitten, Nana dies as well. At her grave, many flowers grow. The kitten is resurrected and found by her owner who is amazed by the garden that grew.
