Summary

This omnibus edition contains volumes four through six of the hit Gunslinger Girlmanga series completely relettered and retranslated. Seven Seas is pleased to republish Gunslinger Girlin two omnibus editions and will then release all-new individual volumes that have never been published in North America. The Social Welfare Agency: a secret counter-terrorism unit for the Italian government that rescues troubled young girls and turns them into cybernetically-enhanced ruthless killers who do the government's dirty work. Yet the child assassins are not as heartless as they were programmed to be. Henrietta struggles with her conflicted feelings towards her handler Jose, while fellow agent Triela combats her own inner demons as she strives to remember the girl she once was. Meanwhile, the clash between the Social Welfare Agency and the covert radical group known as the Five Republics continues. As the Five Republics targets one of the Agency's handlers, the Agency plans its own counter-strike that will pit Triela against the professional assassin and martial arts master known as Pinocchio in a rematch to the death.

"Gunslinger Girl is one of those manga series that makes you think about what you’ve read once you put the book down. Unlike so many manga on the market, Gunslinger Girl has some real substance." —IGN.com

"Gunslinger Girl is a surprisingly dark but fascinating story with as much psychological drama as action. I strongly recommend it." —Mania.com
