Story: 3.5
Henrietta is a little girl who lost her family, an arm, and a leg, but she was "rescued" by the Social Welfare Agency. By rescued I mean turned into a cyborg to do assassinations for the Italin government. It turns out that she is not the only little girl cyborg under the service of the government there are quite a few more. Why only little girls? Well there is a reason but the reason isn't all that great so I won't go into detail about it here.
Art:4.5
Not perfect but still very good. Yu Aida is very good at drawing little girls and guns, which is most likly the real reason for why the cyborgs are only little girls. My only real complant about the art is that all most all the women over 14 look llike guys at first glance, but there aren't that many so I don't think of it as that much of a probleam.
Action: 5.0
The real focus of the manga is right here, with some of the best gun fights I've ever seen, this stuff is the reason I bought this manga. There are also some cool hand to hand fights that are real sweet as well.
Drama:4.0
Where did this come from I just expected some cool action manga with little girls, where did this cool cop drama come from. Yes, this manga also doubles as a great cop drama, and there is more drama than that: there is also an interesting love story going on too, between Henrietta and her mentor; it is very one sided though, so don't go thinkin anything weird.
Comedy:2.0
One or two laughs, but my only question is why does it say on the back action/comedy, does it get really funny later or does ADV Manga not know the difference between comedy and drama.
Overall: 4.0
Has faults but excels excatly where I wanted it to, and even has great drama too. This is a great guslinger manga, anyone looking for a little gun action, should get there hands off the mouse and run to the comic shop as soon as possible, just don't expect to get many laughs even though it says comedy on the back, and don't expect the next one to come out to soon, this is ADV Manga, and they havn't released Vol. 2 of anything yet, except for maybe Those Who Hunt Elves, and Full Metal Panic.
