Synopsis
Volume 1 - Navi: We're all connected... There is the
world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There
is the wired world, inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual
experiences, and a culture all of its own. The day after a classmate commits
suicide, Lain, a thirteen year-old girl, discovers how closely the two
worlds are linked when she receives an e-mail from the dead girl: "I
just abandoned my body. I still live here..." Has the line between
the real world and the wired world begun to blur?
