As for Adorea and the Police Lady, they're my favorite recurring characters. Especially the poor police lady. |

Because they don't heal naturally, not bring alive in the normal sense? I recall, during the uncontrolled mitosis chapter, that Fran said all living beings had their cells renewed on a regular basis - except that it was different in her case. Which suggests her body's static, and the cells are kept 'alive' in a way not like normal tissue (where old cells die and are replaced by new ones)... so no renewal or healing.

IMO it's her skill at a limit. She tend to use experimental methods that deliver in the short term but the long term results can be something even she can't control. I don't think she intended ch2 to turn out that way.

Of course she don't. She is a firm believer of love. She wants a happy end as much as we do, its just that her thinking is not that conventional sometimes. Also, people tends to forget that her offical profession is a researcher not a doctor.

As I said, her ability to think through consequences. A less risky method which involved less radical changes might have worked almost as well, but have taken longer. So she chose to go for the best short-term payoff without thinking 'is the possible result or unintended side effect worth it?'. This is where half the horror comes from, of course. Look at the Justice chapter for another example of the 'can't think through to possible end results'. |

The idea of creating the character Fran actually works backward. Author first comes up with a design then he thinks of the reason for the design. Therefore it doesn't really matter why they have scars, it just gives it a more of a horror element to it. I am pretty sure if Fran wanted to get rid of the scar, there is infinitely ways in the work of science fiction to do so. Thinking too deep into it, without given a reason from an author, would be like applying Physics to Touhou. Quote:

Fran does care if the victims die - but at the same time, she believes that this is all in the name of advancing the quality of life, which makes the end results that much more horrifying given her professed intentions and the results of those experimental procedures. |

It is certainly possible to have good outcomes from her research, we are shown a number of times that she actually publish her research with no strings attached. If a proper doctor is willing to continue her work many of them have great potentials. |

Hm... Guess this ch finally spooked the admins at mangafox enough to close down their FF page.
"The series Franken Fran has been categorized as 'mature', therefore may contain intense violence, blood/gore, sexual content and/or strong language that may not be appropriate for underage viewers thus is blocked for their protection. It is not available in Manga Fox. " |
