Alright lets try this! One chapter everyday until we die.>The Social Welfare agency, a government sponsored corporation is in the business for saving orphaned or abandoned children who are terminally ill or injured beyond the point of saving.>Using cybernetic implants, the Agency uses a process called 'conditioning' to turn orphaned children into emotionless killing machines with hardly any memories, no human comfort and no free will.>Follow the life of Henrietta, a girl who barely survived a brutal attack that killed her family and who was saved and repaired by the Social Welfare Agency. Despite her conditioning and programming, Henrietta still has the heart of a young girl. She has not completely forgotten how to love, yet the very emotion is contrary to her training and programming. Can the Gunslinger Girl survive?

>>289333654>>289334078>cyborg-girlso...speaking from a purely technical point...how much girl and how much robot are we talking? asking for a friend.
>>289334890>I appreciate that you love this girlDoes it really say love in the raws?
>>289336390I mean most of her body is still living but her skeleton was reinforced with hydraulics and some artificial muscles. Her brain is mostly biological and only receives a heavy dose of drugs to keep her complacent and help her body accept the foreign cybernetics.But most of her limbs are robotic, the core is human>>289336664I mean its like a fatherly love, also it as a different time.
>>289336744I got that from the official translations but here it's fanlation and I never looked up the raws. So re-reading this part i was prompted to ask since I was thinking something like Aishiteru (愛してる), a deeper love.
>>289333730Why are you dumping the shit quality scans?
>>289336872I'll procure some better quality ones in a bit
>>289335635
>>289334312so if they are cyborgs and soldiers with no feelings, hypothetically if I was attacked by one of these, I would be justified in...raping one in self defense? I mean I could argue I was afraid for my life so I had no choice but to rape her. would that fly in court? I'm not too versed in italian law
Is this one a pedobait manga?
>>289337236No, its a tragic story about lost girls who are given a second chance at life and who try to make the most out of the time they got left. It also deals into moral complexity such as the use of child soldiers, the extent of cybernetics and government reach all set in the cutthroat world of Italian intelligence agencies.>>289337140Anon...I doubt that one's gonna work with a judge.
>>289337303Damn, George R. R. Martin should write a modern adaptation of it. Sounds like its up his alley. What studio would work best? SHAFT or NUT?
>>289334605 Don't bother. The low quality makes it feel nostalgic.
>>289334971Damn poor girl! She truly got wrecked. How loose was she left afterwards?
>>289338071You don't want to know, anon
>>289338071Even her womb got destroyed
>>289338470oh man that's such a fucking tragedy. also what a lucky bastard the guy who tapped that . not even the government could reconstruct it?
>>289333761>AssaultedThis is one of the few cases where the official TL is more explicit
>>289335047>>289334994This gives me Leon the Professional vibeshttps://youtu.be/I1pJA3AkJEU>>289338588Damn that's hardcore. Why can't we get that in modern anime and manga?
>>289338651Probably based on the premise. Also I'm in the process of downloading higher quality pages
>>289339047Could probably just get pages off the archive from the last one, he used a good version.
>>289338588What kind of "people" did that to poor Henrietta and her family?!?
>>289338588Henrietta deserved better
>>289333654Nice, I had been thinking of reading rhis for some time. Pleasant to have a storytime to follow since the one I had been reading previously (Birdy the Mighty) was abandoned by its OP
>>289340267>Birdy the MightyDidn't know of that one, was it any good? In about 10 hours intend to upload chapter 2. Got higher quality scans!
>>289333654How much would such a cyborg cost to build?
Man this makes me nostalgichttps://youtu.be/NTxoH_5CnhMhttps://youtu.be/rzudrqmnPfA
>>289340794I want a government issued child assassin!
>>289337236Not really. If you're going in expecting coom material you're going to have a bad time. It's more "cute girls are put through the Italian government trauma grinder" than anything else. The whole point is that the situation is fucked and nobody involved gets to pretend it's wholesome.
>>289333654Don't die!
I didn't remember anything about them being cyborgs from watching the anime.
>>289338588"She says she wants to kill herself" is a bit stronger than "she's expressed a strong desire for suicide" however.
>>289334078I wish I got taken in by a government funded shadow organization and became a cyborg girl after I got raped and my family got murdered, but alas...
No cyborg shotas?
>>289333654Awesome. Since the Conan storytime will be over in less than a week, this is very nice timing for a new daily of a manga I've been meaning to read for a while to pop up.
>>289338588Fuck. I didn't want to remember that detail
>>289333654Again??
>>289335935>backlinking every post I recommend using 4chanx, OP.
>>289345083It's been like 4 years
>>289345128Feels like yesterday to me.It was a pretty definitive daily.Not against reading it again, but this one is getting to a rather rough start in comparison.
>>289333654I fucking hate the ending and the second half of this manga. Beginning and the original idea was great though.
>>289345435Petra should've stayed as the main character alongside the rest of the 2nd generation cyborgs, their Fratellos were so much better than the all the doom & gloom of the 1st generation
>>289339212Sicilians probably.
Ah, yes Dollhouse, but Neapolitan Dollhouse with loli.These funny Japanese and their strange idea of Italy (expect Araki. He is a honorary Neapolitan), maybe they are still angry about the Jesuits, Badoglio or Alessandra Mussolini.
>>289342783I wonder why the author chose the Italian government of all things.Also OP here, ready for chapter 2! Honestly didn't expect the thread to survive but I'm happy about that. Will post here.
>>289333761>used goodsinto the trash it goes!
Got much higher quality stuff. Now will post chapter 2
>>289347564
>>289347575
>>289347564woah, very early
>>289347606
>>289347739>>289347689I hope this will be my release schedule give or take
>>289347768She seems quite happy with her life
>>289347768I'm not complaining, I like it better that way, actually. By the way, I concur with >>289345118 if you aren't using it already. It makes for much easier storytiming.
>>289347845
>>289347845>>289347851Have never tried it, will check it out
>>289347886Seems 44 was already posted in this thread.
>>289347901
>>289347886It lets you post multiple posts in a queue, so if you have the images in a folder you can just select them all at once, and then you just have to solve the captchas.>>289347901If you ever run into the problem of trying to post an image that was already posted, you can just open it with an image editor and change a single pixel. Alternatively, you can just resize it (there are even scripts that let you do that while you post in 4chan).
>>289347927
>>289348008Poor Henrietta!>>289347955Thanks will do that for the incoming chapters.
Rico best girl
>>289348062Such a shady government. Makes me glad this only happens in fiction!
>>289337236There's lots of softcore loli just saying

>>289333814enter best girl shared with petra and maybe bice
>>289336390The girl has a mechanical body. However she is still an adolescent child.
>>289334312GRR>>289337140You can try, however you may find yourself the rapee
>>289336744>fatherlybrotherlythe units are literally called fratelli

owari?

such a short chapter
the italian child assassins got OP, the first season of the anime adaptation is a very nice by nice i mean full of suffering watch
Trust! In OP!

>>289349397The conditioning sure is strong and difficult to break.
>>289349412Chapter 2 end!
>>289349412What a sweet girl
>>289349506She is a very sweet and efficient assassin
>>289349036OP, if you need some help dumping or if you’re away from the site for a longer time say it and I can finish the dump for you if you want, since I’m usually home at the time you’re dumping now. I dailied this 4 years ago so I have the manga on my PC.Also heads up, a lot of the pages in the later volumes are over 4MB, so you’ll have to resize them.
>>289348355 The son of a drunk working at a hotel in a peaceful European town... I feel like everyone here will get shot.
>>289349878Thanks a lot anon, and its always nice to meet fellow anon who enjoy this series. I will be leaning on your experience, so thanks a lot for your offer!I will try to resize or compress them then from now. Definitely a lot to learn to make these threads a reality.What do you think of it as a whole?
>>289349878>croat OP planning to take over another OP's dumpEvil!!
Rico sure got brainwashed. She may be the one with the highest conditioning
>>289350012Aside from GA it’s my favorite manga of all time, it also has one of my favorite anime openings ever>>289350362On a voluntary basis, of course
>>289350657>GAWhat is GA? Also true, its one of the greats. I like how the story seems to be a reflection on society while having a distinct setting and doesn't take the girl's states as a game or a joke.
>>289333654Cumslinger girl
>>289350785GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class
>>289350945I'll have to check it out. Ever read "The unwomanly face of war"? it also has the crude elements but with a more overt war than Gunslinger Girl. It is similar.
>>289351022I have not, I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation
>>289350589Can you really fault her for giving in so easily when it gave her the thing she wanted most in her miserable life?
>>289351388No, as a matter of fact I think they probably had no chance and its neat that the agency at least gives them another shot at life.
>>289351022can't wait for triela's chapter
I've read in the high hundreds of manga and this is one of the few that is genuinely good. One of my fav in a medium that is highly vapid overall.
>>289352250I have to agree, I wish more works were made like this.
>>289348451>you may find yourself the rapeenot if you are an ugly bastard
>>289351022Yeah, I remember it getting storytimed a few years ago. By the same mangaka as the spice & wolf manga.
>>289352723I had no idea, he's a great writer
Who's your pick, anon?
>>289353308He just does the art. The story is based on a book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33792042-the-unwomanly-face-of-war
are cyborgs just for hugs or also for fugs?
>>289353851Both, they are cute and nice girls.
>>289353851Jean showed that his approach of keeping them at a distance yet showing both strictness and affection was the right one, while Hilshire, Giuseppe and Sandro fucked up and got blueballed, died or both.
>>289354240Woah, I thought I'd be able to read the manga unspoiled for a second. Thank you for avoiding that.
>>289354240jean was trying to use rico as a tool but he's a softy deep down, while giuse was superficially nice to henrietta but didn't really care about her as much
>>289355309A shame, Henrietta is my favorite girl. She deserves a long happy life with lots of children
>>289355309Why are they like this?
They are so elegant
>>289347927>>289348008I like how the manga doesn't even shy away from the fact they do the dirty job of whoever pays them the most.
Do you think tech like this exists already?
>>289357563The elites don't want you to know so they can keep all the cyborg lolis to themselves
>>289349397this scene made me really horny as a kid
>>289353582my pick is S1 Triela with that perfect shade of brown and blonde hair but with the blue eyes of digital Triela
>>289357663Agreed. Triela and Henrietta were the best designs, I like how mature they look.
Why are the handlers so cold?
Isn't it too early for a daily re-run?Either way, WAKE UP D/a/ILY.To the fact that Petra is the best girl.
>>289360469When was the last one?
>>289360469Its Henrietta, she's the best!
>>289360006They're trying to avoid bonding too much with living weapons that could die anytime in combat or from inevitable complications of their augmentations. But not all of them manage to keep their distance.
>>289337236They will tell you it's not but they will be lying. It's pedo. We have at least Triella x Hillshire, Henrietta x Jose, Elsa x her handler, Sandro x Petra and let's not forget Triella's fucking daughter having a meet cute with a much older male looking very much like Jose at the very end. Also, the whole manga doesn't have much to offer after the first volume. Read it or watch season 1 of the anime and ignore everything else. This is the best it gets.
>>289362303Must be really difficult given how cute they are.>>289362773What?!? Its not sexual love, they are fratello. The name itself is a give away! Its less of a creepy thing and more like a Leon the Professional situation
>>289362883>Its not sexual love, they are fratelloHow often does a brother kiss a sister on the mouth? I dare say the normal amount would be zero. Here at least 3 pairs kissed
>>289360006I loved this fucking album. Angelica's and Elsa's songs are the best. The OG Elsa lol
>>289362913In Italy that is just expected. Different cultures and all that.
>>289363144Cope harder, your favorite manga was made by a pedophile
>>289333654Oh man I had this one in my list for a long time. I like girls and I like guns, is it a more serious or comedic story? I know it started with rape, but I hope it has more mystery elements too.>>289363570D-dare I say...BASED?
>>289362773>Also, the whole manga doesn't have much to offer after the first volumeExtremely shit taste. Almost offensively so.
>>289333654Can the cyborgs get pregnant?
>>289364255Enlighten me, what's so much better in the following volumes?
>>289340336Yeah, I really enjoyed, but the storytimes stopped coming without explanation
