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?

Cute Beatrice in spats. I nearly forgot she's also a 1st gen

I lost count of who are first and second gens. I only wish the author got to show us some of the same cyborgs for a while.

Fascinating research! So it should stop them from going crazy a bit

Damn so the agency is close to shut down? What will happen to the cyborgs after they run out of money?

Flashback time!

I had long been curious about her past, I know it was mentioned first chapter but it was never explored until now.

BRUTAL! So he just got an axe and went to town on her. But why go that far? Was he a terrorist doing a crime and giving an example or just a nutcase?

>>290800059
I have to agree with anon here >>290802660
>I think there aren't many lolicons insterested in this kind of thing
I don't think this is a loli series because it hardly has any fanservice and when the loli cyborgs are shown naked, its either treated medically with lots of technical mumbo jumbo or for dramatic purposes such as Henrietta and Triela's backstories. Even someone into guro would hardly find any since this story treats espionage and plot first, so it also doesn't have lots of loli getting massacred. The one who got most fanservice was Petra as commented in the previous thread.
I like the balance, its a mature story well balanced and treated with care by the author. That's the reason it has withstood the test of time while many others have been forgotten.
>>290815122
From living in an european shithole, I can attest that sadly the government tends to pay more attention to your needs if you're violent. Try to ask nicely and some bureaucrats will even literally kick you into the streets, but block a main road or prove enough of a nuisance and they'll act fast to appease you, not because they care but to avoid a revolution. That or they send a Jean against you, with less cute loli and more gun.

I wonder why Claes is wrearing the arm brace. I can hardly imagine her fracturing her arm while gardening. Then again I'll take any excuse to see Beatrice lending a helping hand.

Pretty sure this is all about personal revenge, the previous two chapters weren't called vendetta for nothing. Jean is using a government agency as a vehicle for vengance and Dante is doing the same with the 5 repubics organization. Rember when the guy who protested that Padania dislikes Arabs more than Terroni got murdered? Yeah, this isn't about ideology or politics or abstract biases anymore.

>>290815159
>block a main road or prove enough of a nuisance and they'll act fast to appease you
I don't know about that. In my locale farmers' protests that clog-up the roads (they have to bring their retarded tractors to the capital for pressing symbolic reasons, please be patient and understanding) have been met with appeasement and almost desparate attempts at political enfranchisement. Whereas environmental activists seeking to emulate the succes of farming protests with road blockades have mostly been met with (targeted) arrests and repression.

This is my favourite cover, you can feel Jean's smouldering rage.

It reminds me of the "why dis X look so mad" meme pic

Rico and Claes somehow end up getting the best volume covers. I like how Jean's intense stare contransts with Rico's unbothered nonchalance. It matches the vibe from these pages from the last volume.

Thank you op!

>>290820585
volumes 13 and 14 are my favorite volume covers ever
>>
>>290814315
It's less that they're autistic and more that they're traumatized. Next volume gets more into the specific circumstances, but we already know most of it from Jose's flashbacks of Enrica and Jean's grave visits and drunken hallucinations.

>>290815865
No matter the country it depends on how scary the protesters can be or just how important they seem to be,
preachy nature loving lazybums: nobody cries
hard workers with equipment: bad optics
Everyone always tells the truth.
It's a government's prerogative to resist change therefore force is always required.

I think the country and the strategic outlook of the leadership is pretty important. For our example there a big difference between a country that wants more farmers and one that wants to redevelop farmland into industery that produces more value per hectare.
