love it!

amazing work, i can't wait for the next volumes in the series to come over.

One of the Best Series I've Ever Read

This is the 3rd issue in what I think to be one of the best manga series I've ever read. For anyone looking for non stop action, fan service or Lolita fantasies this is likely not for you. The stories are great and the characters are well developed. I am also glad that the deadbeat publisher ADV has finally announced it's release of the 4th issue in June, because after so many months I have grown tired of waiting.

Should be a part of any fan's collection

This series is quite impressive and if the story and art doesn't impress you then there is something wrong with you. (Unless you're anti anime) But even non anime fans can be drawn into the series. Also, it's a good break from the shonen and magical girl anime types. I highly recommend it.

HIS NOSE IS GROWING

One of the Social Welfare Agency's agents has gone missing while on the trail of a mysterious new threat. I know it doesn't sound frightening, but the name of this threat is....Pinocchio! No, he's not the wooden puppet but seriously, his skills as a cold-blooded killer make him a match even for the Agency's cybernetically enhanced girls. He's been enlisted to help the terrorist forces of the Five Republics in their efforts to rebel against the government. The girls are sent into action against these forces and in an effort to protect an important political leader. While action is never far away in Gunslinger Girl, since Volume 2 this series has taken a more quiet and less bloody route in its storytelling. This is a good thing. Here we get a focus on the forces that plot against the Agency and all sides of the conflict seem to get an even break in terms of motivation. It's very hard to see it in terms of bad guys and good guys (or gals). Since both sides are willing to do atrocious things to better their causes. Buy it for the action, the intrigue, and the poignant relationships. Highly recommended!
