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?Chapter 1 and 2desuarchive.org/a/thread/289333654Chapter 3>>289371837Chapter 4>>289393082Chapter 5 to 11>>289532268
I did wonder that too. It seems the previous episodes were only introductions to the girls and their backstories, maybe now we'll get the plot moving.
Is working for the Italian secret service that enjoyable? Luxurious cars, going all over the world on trips, getting a cute fratello. They are living the life
Cute!
>>289683304>Italian government agency battles Northern Italian separatistsSo basically state-sponsored terronism.
kek she is truly like a jealous girlfriend!
What a smart girl!
Foreshadowing?
Shrewd businessman!
Chapter end!
damn no one gives a fuck huh
>>289684090This is like the fifth GSG storytime... probably even more
>>289684090This is a great story in dire need of a remake/sequel with updated animation
>>289684090I was busy reading the new Colori Colore Creare chapter. Will now get to today's Gunslinger Girl dump.
>>289683708I was thinking the same thing, all the lovely taxpayer funded gifts.
>>289683304I really like the contrast between Triela's propensity for masculine clothing and her love of teddy bears.
>>289684090You simply got the "timing" wrong "me". Also moving from one thread to another creates sluggishness.
>>289683684Rico is too damned cute.
>>289683730Do people with older siblings really do that?
>>289683730Is that a bottle ship? Neat.
>>289683823Wasn't expecting such a fancy one, but it does make sense that Jose would select something nice for her.
>>289683863Interesting to see other cyborgs. Can't help but wonder about her backstory.
>>289683884Oh, no, Henrietta, he's cucking you with a dead girl!
>>289683972Thanks, OP.
Judging by my enjoyment of Aria and Gunslinger Girl, I ought to read more Italian-themed manga.
>>289684300Also the food and clothing is great over there
>>289684558yeah beatrice is cool and the story would have benefited from giving her a proper introduction earlier
I love this cinnamon roll
Were children really into kaleidoscopes back then? I can't picture any being interested in this day and age of tiktok
>>289683884she really does have nothing better to do than read all day
>>289688853She's so lucky to have lived int hat era instead of the tik tok era
>>289683730>you missed out man!what did he mean by this
>>289689034He is true, I wanted to have an older sister so badly
>>289683708>>289684300Jean and Jose come from a very wealthy and politically connected family. It's not their salaries paying for luxury sports cars or Sicilian villas. A Porche in Italy also means you don't have Ferrari or Lamborghini money.
>>289691385They are so elegant
>>289683462It's probably only because of the translation, and maybe because we factually know that Hilschire is German, but the way he speaks really does seem to me to follow the sort of speech pattern of the more stuffy Germans I've met IRL
>>289683972thanks op
>>289683625Fucking lmao Triela
>>289683708Sometimes, having luxury cars and clothes can get you into places you might not be able to go with an old beater of a car and a shabby outfit-- its a way its very useful for the kinds of work the SWA does
>>289693375Glad you enjoyed, anon!
>>289693399She is super cool, a great big sister figure to the others
>>289683815LOL Liga Nord is actually the 4th largest party of Italy today and part of the current government meanwhile all the lolis and their handlers are dead.
>>289695403Do they master all kinds of guns?
>>289696420Yes. For example, Rico so far has used a CZ-75, SVD, AR70/90 SCP, and later on she'll use an MG3.
>>289696704She looks so cool!
>>289683304>TrielaGod, still hurts...
>>289698881W-why is that, anon? You're scaring me
>>289684090I do, thanks again OP!
>>289684334It's cute on a surface level, but the reason for both of these preferences are exactly the same: the clothes and the bears were first given to her by Hilshire. It's even down to the archaic, century-old shotgun she uses.
>>289701536Glad you enjoyed, anon!
>>289695403Such an elegant girl
>>289702771Henrietta is good, but to me its Rico
>>2896871832000s was a simpler time
>>289684192Who would do a remake the best?
>>289683972Merci OP
>>289683972Much appreciated!
>>289532268#p289532268Hereford is home to the SAS. They are being trained hard and run ragged. IIRC, the Ghost in the Shell manga had the same joke.
>>289706697Pah, I meant >>289532268#p289653570
>>289683972Thank you, OP.
>>289708028Glad you enjoyed, anon! Time for another chapter
Damn she's done!
>>289683684not a single thought inside that rico girl's head
>>289684469Of course.
>>289683863bice detected
Had no idea about that
I've always wondered how people simply start in such career path.Like I can't picture someone sending their resume to an agency to become a "professional hitman"
So a parallel to the Gunslinger Girls?
>>289709712That always sunny bit, you know the oneAlso I think cops have a 20 foot rule for drawing and then firing if someone comes at you with a knife, if they're any closer than that there's a good chance they'll tag you with it
>>289708860Oh shit.
>>289709466Accidently robbing the wrong person is an old old story, but not used as often as I would think.
There were a lot of comedy beats this chapter, more than expected anyway. It's funny, I can almost see anyone dying, but nobody has yet. There's just this sense of danger.
>>289708860wish she would come back as a cyborg to haunt him but that would break the timeline completely
>>289710733He got it coming then. I thought he was a Welfare Agency guy
So was the little girl in the first pages the same who got killed by the Pinocchio guy?
>>289708801Finally, a shota assassin!
>>289712517Right? I was wondering where they were
>>289709809Thanks, OP!
>>289711033He is. It's why Hilshire and Triela know where to go after him.
>>289713823Glad you enjoyed, anon!
>>289711943Yes yes she was
>>289710219The difference is that Pinocchio is an experienced assassin with a throwing knife up his sleeve, while Mac is a dipshit chump.
>>289708791Oh, this chapterWe've seen a lot of Gunslinging Girls so far, wonder if this young fellow is going to be the last gunslinging boy we see
>>289709070I once smoked a cigarette on top of my car in this same position; its pretty fun and no one bothers to fuck with you if you do
>>289709084I think the company was named after the founder's daughter iirc
>>289709096I like Pinocchio genuine look of consternation when talking about girls>random people in the town just like him and just want to hang outcomfy
>>289709108>Auroraoh noI hope she doesn't get cyborgized
>>289709302need car enthusiast/bombmaker wife
>>289716047I hope not, I liked him as a rival to the girls
>>289709416Its more that "none professional hitmen" are trained up (usually from a passionate or blackmailed volunteer) to deliver a single hit before they are disposed of (either killed or extracted to another country)Professionals are just ones organizations have dedicated enough resources to want to reuse a few times.I can highly reccomend reading the old declassified CIA manual for planning assassinations-- a lot of it seems very 'common sense' in the same way that the Art of War is, but its good for filling out a general knowledge of how big scary institutions like the CIA kill people-- a lot of the principles remain the same today and certainly apply to the way things are done in the setting (fictional and real life background) of Gunslinger Girl.
>>289709466>>289709451I really love his relationship with ChristianoIts funny how all the government-approved cyborg assassins have terrible histories with their families, for the most part, and fraught relationships with their own handlers, while the bonafide terrorist Pinocchio has a great relationship with his father figure/handler in contrast
>>289709596I feel like an Italian woman is the one type who might actually thoroughly school a man on cars
>>289709610>I'm the prodigal son
>>289709630Yum, dinner :)
>>289709742>>289709756I'm a big fan of this trioThey're the first real antagonists with some teeth, and they live a life that's more grounded to Italy compared to the big terrorists and SWA guys
>>289709809Thanks OP
>>289716611Definitely enjoying the bomb guys, they look quite cool
>>289717227Aida really made an effort to make sure his major villains weren't all just puppy kicking thugs. Even the most unabashed psycho puppy punter in the series is surrounded by people who believe in something.
>>289717227They are going to be even better if you think so
>>289710937That's good writing.
>>289720576Agreed, Lycoris Recoil could never reach this level of prose.
>>289720916Is that similar to gunslinger girl?
>>289721752No, its more like a buddy cop series while GG is far more serious and plot driven
Thanks for the dump OP! I was busy the past couple of days and couldn't catch up until now.
>>289723043No worries anon, hope you can catch up now that the plot's beginning!
>>289723664Elsa >>>> 2 > 3 > 1 > 4 > 5 to me
>>289723938To me its only Triela
>>289724431Rico or death!
>>289725998She is so cute, anon
Will these new terrorists be an actual threat?
>>289727409Yes
>>289727409Very much so
Thoughts on Aida's modern artstyle?Also has anyone read his other works? Are they good?
>>289684761Are there even any?
>>289729271Thermae Romae and Plinivs if Ancient Rome tickles your cockles.
>>289684090Why so negative all the time?
>>289700203This whole manga hurts.
>>289708801mah boy pino
>>289716430dhomochevsky... had a hard life...
>>289719374giacomo is the best
