Yet her troubles were just about to begin...

A fan-comic based of of the Anime/Manga series Elfen Lied, Nana's Everyday Life branches off in a completely different direction from its source material, featuring several cast members from other series, as well as a few original characters.
Can be found here. Not Safe for Work.
It will make you cry.
Tropes used in Nana's Everyday Life include:
- Alternate Continuity: Starting off as a parody of Elfen Lied, the comic soon branches into its own take on Nana and her unyieldingly terrible life.
- Barbie Doll Anatomy: For art dissonance to the point of Grotesque Cute.
- Black Comedy: About the comedy part...
- Black Comedy Rape: Subverted. You Bastard.
- Cerebus Syndrome: Goes from having fun making her life hell (Pedobear gets a surprising early cameo) to just making her life hell, and then to making her life so horrible that just thinking about it makes the reader tear up...
- Character Exaggeration
- The Chew Toy: Why yes...
- Crapsack World: The entire universe has it out for Nana.
- Crossover: Freely blending characters from several continuities along with new characters.
- Demolish The Cutie: Starting with reducing Nana to a quadruple amputee and getting worse from there.
- Died Happily Ever After: Nana, who spontaneously resurrects a dead kitten and makes the dank alley she dies in sprout beautiful flowers.
- Downer Ending: In classic Victorian literature form.
- Ending Trope: The Hero Dies
- Hope Spot: Just long enough to make the inevitable return that much more painful.
- Grotesque Cute: That cute picture up there? That's the style the comic is drawn in. These tropes? They are not cutesy.

Nana, Marcelo, and Minami. - It Got Worse: To the point of being hilarious... or, y'know, tragic, I guess.

- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Inherited from the source material.
