The Social Welfare Agency in Italy is not what it seems. Yes, it rescues young girls who have been brutalized. but it then brainwashes them and turns them into ruthless killers for an elite and secret counterterrorism unit for the Italian government. Enter a young girl named Henrietta. After witnessing the savage murder of her family and barely surviving, the Agency takes her in and repairs her injuries using the latest in cybernetic technology. All traces of Henrietta's past are wiped from her mind as she becomes one of the Agency's most lethal assassins. Yet despite her programming. Henrietta is troubled by fragmented memories. It is her handler's job, Jose, to keep her feelings in check and ensure that she stays on mission. This task is made all the more difficult because Henrietta bears a striking resemblance to Jose's younger sister who died in a car bombing years earlier.

Review quote
"Gunslinger Girl is one of those manga series that makes you think about what you've read once you put the book down. Unlike so many manga on the market, Gunslinger Girl has some real substance." --IGN.COM
"Gunslinger Girl is a surprisingly dark but fascinating story with as much psychological drama as action. I strongly recommend it." --MANIA.COM
