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 24 to 30https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289998808/Chapter 31 to 32https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/290159804Chapter 33 to 35>>290213817 Chapter 36>>290283851 Chapter 37 to 39>>290311377
I assume that's how he joined
This chapter was also quite short, so one more!
>>290370574Guessing this lady is why he doesn't like redheads.
>>290370727I'm just reading this chapter but seems like it
Oh yeah chapter number is 41 "Lady Rosso (3)"
This used to be a manga about cute girls shooting terrorists, why am I reading about a ucking effeminate manwhore?
>>290370969This dude works FAST
Brb!
>>290371524Would be fun if she were a Padanian double agent
Back!>>290372840Its a good point, maybe she is
>Fucks multiple women>Falls for a 14 yo
>>290374544>Describes an incredibly interesting personality >Calls herself boringWoman, amiright boys?
>>290375005I think she means that she's a YES-man. She will immediately agree with anything you say because that's how she's used to living.Feels like a black widow copy, even the red hair. Was black widow popular back then?
>>290374432>needs to know how to use foundation to be able to pass as a Terroni. Lady, Sandro is from fucking Apulia. He already IS a Terroni.
Chapter 41 end!>>290375793Guess her claim about having only superficial knowledge checks out.
>>290375863>too little, too latean hero?
>>290374497>boohoo i'm TOO pretty and multi-talented to make friends WOE IS ME!
>>290371058I am starting to wonder that too. Maybe the author wants people to care more about Petra and this fratello duo, or he became her husbando so she got inspired to give him more of the spotlight.Since this is my first read, guess we'll find out together. I miss Henrietta
>>290357454Yeah, I know that. I was referring to how the scan's version of the page was cropped, causing it to end in the middle of a sentence.
At this point I think Sandro is trying to replace this chick in his head with Petra. Gotta wait until the next chapters to see what happens to her. I'm putting money on an heroing considering what Sandro said.
>>290376509That or it turns out she's a padanian terrorist so he'll be forced to take her down. Just assuming too
>>290371058Now that we have a genius superspy protagonist who is the coolest dude ever, what's the point of those NPCs? I guess they can highlight how much better Sandro is. Plus he can romance his cyborg gf since she's an adult; no more icky lolis.
What happened to my cute girl cyborg killer manga?
Nobody was slinging a gun this chapter
>>290371058>>290376049>>290376617The reason is pretty simple, Aida needs to finish establishing Sandro and Petra before he can move the PLOT plot that starts next volume. >>290375913Nothing as boorish as that. You'll find out before the end of the volume. For as jarring as it might seem with the other Fratello getting drip-fed their backstories, The laser focus on these two ends with this volume.
>>290375793he's not brown enough to pass as a southern italian, he needs to look like he spends the whole day lazing off in the sun.
>>290380549I thought the author was a woman
>>290375227https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_U377vst5o
>>290375061>I think she means that she's a YES-man.I don't know about that. It kind of matches the vibe of a cocksucking /pol/ grifting debate-bro i'll sometimes watch snippets of: >if you read 1 or 2 articles on a subject you'll know more than 90% of people
>>290382008It's neither, really. She uses what normal people take on as interests and passions to seduce and manipulate people for the sake of her glowie work. Imagine talking to someone like that, never knowing if your conversation about this or that is genuine interest or just a façade to use you in one way or another. It's impossible to trust someone like that and get close to them, if there's even much under that façade to get close to. To put it another way, she's the same kind of boring that an accountant dispassionately married to their work is. You go on a date, but all they have to talk about are spreadsheets they don't really care about or the weather. The difference is, her equivalent to those spreadsheets is a bunch of small, shallow facts about a wide range of subjects she lacks any particular passion for. You might find that breadth of knowledge fascinating, but she doesn't, and that's what makes her boring.
Oh man those girls really will be slinging guns next chapter... I dont know what to say about this chapter
Gunslinger Girl x Girls Frontline collabhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqVvEmzEcmc
>>290383870Yeah, that was years ago though. It was a passion goal for the GFL devs to do a GSG crossover event, even after the promotional lifespan of the series.
>>290384291Nice to see our main character
>>290384979>our main characterthat's a very weird way to draw petra, her hair's also the wrong color, and something as bulky as a p90 doesn't suit her infiltrator style.
>>290385194At least Henrietta dresses in a way she can concel carry a handgun. Petra has no place where to carry.
>>290385730Because Petra isn't an attack cyborg, rather a spy cyborg
>>290385194Petra's not the main character either. The real main character is Speranza
Is Sandro capable of crossdressing if the mission demands it?
>>290375061She won't necessarily always agree with you but she knows exactly what to say to manipulate you into doing whatever she wants>>290382008>>290383125No her knowledge is not shallow, she's complaining that she's too much of a genius. E.g. if she picks up piano she'll be better than you after an hour, but she does take another three days to study and becomes a world-class concert pianist. She's claiming that's 'boring' because she never went through the trials and tribulations of devoting her life to one subject and slowly improving her craft.
>>290391184There's a few ways to interpret what she's saying.
I never quite liked Sandro and Petra's chapter. Their story didn't have much appeal.
>>290391184>if she picks up piano she'll be better than you after an hourshe has hundreds of books on shelf, assuming that she read even half of them that's a time investment of thousands of hours at even at above average reading speeds, learning chinese is another thousand hours easily. I've seen bookshelves of college lecturers less stacked than hers. she even has two 2006 mac pro personal computers in addition to another 4 era apporiate windows machines. she may be a genious or autistic or whatever, but what she has here absolutely respresents a massive commitment of time and resources. >Hen's Teeth>Margaret Atwoodunlike last volume this one has translators notes it comments on the cat meowing in italian (tn note: miao means meow) and the two roman football clubs rossana likes.
>>290392634The whole chapter is genius genius genius and she specifically references a time period of three days.I don't think the author would include a whole chapter to tell her backstory if she was lying about everything.
>>29039313672 hours is still more than enough time to read a bunch of books or to go on a skiing trip, sandro mentioned reading 3 books on each profession he encounters that's very doable on a long weekend though it might not leave much time for anyting else.
>>290391184Correction: three days to become fluent, doesn't become a world-class master because she's splitting her time between hundreds of other things she finds fun and interesting.
re: tn notesalso I couldn't find a source on the rock eating saint mentioned here: >>290374722it might be a reference to people mortifying their own bodies or even the Japanese monks who fasted themselves to death in the process of trying to self mummify.
>>290393626Maybe its a fake story
>>290385730That is so true. Henrietta is love!
Bump
>>290379415These two chapters, even.
>>290369678Ty op
A Sandro x Petra (la forma di vecchia) chapter thread made it through the night it just goes to show you that this new pair is so much better, smarter, sexier and more popular that the old cast.
>>290383870Convenient their two logos have girls standing in them so they can look cool back to back together.
>>290375061She looks absolutely fetching in the second panel. What a crumpet.>>290375182GTK, C++, Unix. That /g/entooman must have been an easy mark; she probably did not need sleep with him. Just some light (but not too overt) flirting and flattery would have sufficed to make him spill his guts.Re: being shallow, she probably learned enough to write a Hello World program and understand the "Csh programming considered harmful" rant, but never bothered to create anything meaningful. The act of creation is part of the joy of programming, and having never experienced that in any endeavour would indeed be very dreary. Training Sandro was probably the most meaningful act of her career.
>>290401315No wonder he's traumatized by redheads. Alright time for a new chapter!
Chapter 42 "Mind Speech"So it was all a simulation?
Some men just want to watch the world burn, kek
Nooooooo!
Funny how they just take it matter of factly
>>290402977Main girl showing up
What happened to Giuseppe!?
>>290403145He let his hair grow? Looks sloppy. A military/carabineri man should not look like that
>>290403169Well good thing he's in the wellfare agency now!
Oh chapter 42 over already.Is it just me or are these chapters shorter?
>>290403129What a creepy look.
>>290403290He really is letting himself go
>>290369678This one is one my favorite chapters, it's so sexy and cool
>>290404015About the cyborgs getting a checkup or Petra's plot?
>>290404059Rossana's story
>>290371058BEcause he's a major character in the current and following arcs? I didn't see you complaining about Pinocchio, or Franco and Franca.
>>290375925That's not what she said at all, though. She's talking about her job leaving her with no identity of her own.
>>290374722It's like that one oglaf comic
>>290376509I think it's clear that he wanted to avoid it at first, but he's doing it anyways
>>290403646Jean should hit him. Can't be killing Padanians while looking like a slob
>>290402889fuck it we ball
>>290402819
>>290404670Truly the perfect body
>>290404281No those antagonists added to the existing storylines.Disliking Sandro is more like disliking Triela. Obviously Triela is more connected to the rest of the agency, but she basically has her own story branch running parallel to the main story.
>>290402903Cutie.
>>290403129Nice! I like the new look.
>>290402791Not even close to baseline.
>>290403247Thanks, OP.You're right. It used to be that most chapters were over 30 pages long.
>>290403247Yeah the chapters are shorter nowWe're halfway through the volumes (15 in total) but not halfway through the chapters (100 in total)
>>290408169Did the author get tired?
>>290409257Seems to have another concept now with Petra in the spotlight
>>290409257the quality just went up, the art is more detailed than early on and as a main character Sandro is much more observant and intelligent than anyone who has taken center stage thus far. Writing very intelligent characters like Sandro, Petra and Rossana is more taxing on the mind and takes more lookup work.
>>290410418Sandro is very fun
Story needs more Rico
>>290412195No, more Triela
>>290403247Thank you for posting, OP.
>>290416662Glad you enjoyed, anon!
>>290402977Total Rico Love
>>290403083Petra proves her superiority to Henrietta, but her words are wasted on Rico. Would have been better for Triela to hear that.
>>290418157A shame since Henrietta had potential but it was never used
What happened to Giuseppe?
>>290412195>>290417620
>>290419907When will the chapters be focused on Rico?
>>290421064Only if there's a chapter-long gunfight with no dialogueOtherwise why would a chapter be focused on a tool?
>>290421214>why would a chapter be focused on a tool?because my cyborg daughter is the sharpest and cutest and blondest and most mission-oriented and most successful and coolest tool in the shed
>>290369678Where do you find scans for this?
