Serial Experiments Lain

Quiet and withdrawn, Lain Iwakura has little interest in computers until an email arrives from a schoolmate who has died. The sender claims to still exist within the Wired, a vast communications network that begins drawing Lain away from her familiar surroundings.

As she ventures further online, the boundary between the network and everyday life grows uncertain. Strangers seem to recognize a Lain she does not know, while disturbing incidents challenge her memories and relationships. Finding the source of the messages becomes inseparable from discovering who, or what, she really is.
