Trivia

Okamoto voices a minor character in the Elfen Lied anime's twelfth episode.

Horror-fantasy author S. A. Swann acknowledged Lynn Okamoto and Elfen Lied as inspiration for his medieval fantasy novel called Wolfbreed.

Okamoto and Elfen Lied anime director Mamoru Kanbe are said to have clashed over Kanbe's decision to exclude the character of Nozomi from the anime's forcibly shortened timeline of events.

While Lynn has used themes of alienation, discrimination and prejudice in his other stories, he still doesn't use them for the intent of sending a message or some kind of commentary as much as he uses them as a source for drama, emotion and conflict.

He seems to favor Yuka's (Elfen Lied) hairstyle, having it or a similar haircut be seen on up to four characters. Aside from Yuka herself, the other ones are Sarah, Nono and Ryouta.

In a July 20, 2015, tweet, Okamoto expressed that he felt hopeless while struggling to become a professional manga writer at the age of 30 after resigning from Bandai. He then learned that Tetsuo Hara, the writer of the then-famous manga Hokuto no Ken / Fists of Hokuto (1983-1988) had finished the manga at the age of 27, inspiring him to continue with his own manga.

Okamoto showed his home office in picture. He currently writes Parallel Paradise here as it is shown on the monitor. He does not work together with his assistants in the same office like before.
