History Creator / LynnOkamoto

[[GenderBlenderName Lynn]] Okamoto is a Tokyo-based {{Seinen}} mangaka affiliated with ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Young Jump]]''. He is best known for his famous work ''Manga/ElfenLied''. He is known to be an intensely private individual. His works are famous for their {{Gorn}} and {{Fanservice}} content. He has drawn many one-shots, that are eventually released in a bundle of two collection books in 2008, and five series, with two of them having anime adaptations, both being made by the studio Creator/ARMSCorporation.

* {{Ecchi}}: And how! His works are famous for having NippleAndDimed. ''Manga/BrynhildrInTheDarkness'' seems to avert the latter (though the uncensored anime doesn't). ''Parallel Paradise'' takes this UpToEleven, with explicit sex scenes making the manga short of being labelled {{Hentai}}.

* ''Manga/ParallelParadise'' (2017)

* {{Adorkable}}: Most of his characters. His male leads are often socially-awkward guys who have problems with women, while many of his female leads being {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s.

* ''Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joō'' (2012, art by Mengo Yokoyari)

* NoNameGiven: Many characters in his work do not have names, even protagonists, main antagonists, major characters or characters with a distinguish personality or some role. This is also the reason why fans agree to call one specific unnamed character "[[Manga/ElfenLied The Unknown Man]]".
