Description

Blurb:
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 counter-terrorism 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.
Klappentext:
Italien - sonnige Tage, wunderschöne Landschaften, alte Städte ... Hinter der Idylle versteckt sich jedoch ein gnadenloser Krieg. Terroristen, die sich »Republikaner« nennen, versuchen die Regierung zu stürzen. Bekämpft werden sie von der »Staatlichen Gesellschaft für soziale Wohlfahrt« und ihren Geheimagenten: junge Mädchen, die durch chirurgische Eingriffe zu Cyborgs umfunktioniert wurden! Zu Killermaschinen, die für die schmutzigen Zwecke der Behörde missbraucht werden. Hinter jedem dieser Gunslinger Girls steckt eine tragische Geschichte....

Ganz nach dem Vorbild von Genre-Klassikern wie Ghost in the Shell oder Jin-Roh hat Yuu Aida einen Manga geschaffen, der durch seinen ernüchternden Realismus und knallharte Action besticht!

Testo della bandella:

Henrietta è una ragazza di Roma, unica sopravvissuta ad una sanguinosa strage familiare. Rico per undici anni è vissuta in un corpo incapace di muoversi. Triela è passata attraverso gli orrori di uno snuff-movie. Dietro la facciata di una rispettabile organizzazione umanitaria, l’Ente Pubblico per il Benessere Sociale nasconde una branca dei servizi segreti agli ordini di Palazzo Chigi. Seleziona giovani ragazze dagli ospedali di tutta Italia, le fornisce di un letale corpo meccanico, le sottopone ad un processo di condizionamento che le rende obbedienti. Le ragazze sono addestrate al combattimento da istruttori adulti ed utilizzate in operazioni sporche ad alto rischio. La seconda sezione, a cui fanno capo i responsabili dei "corpi" (come vengono chiamate le ragazze), viene utilizzata per azioni di contrasto al crimine organizzato, ma viene anche messa a disposizione di potenti uomini politici per assassini eccellenti.
