Synopsis

The Social Welfare Agency in Italy is not what it seems. Yes, it rescues young girls who have been brutalized, but it then brainwashes them and turns them into ruthless killers for an elite and secret counter-terrorism unit for the Italian government.

Enter a young girl named Henrietta. After witnessing the savage murder of her family and barely surviving, the Agency takes her in and repairs her injuries using the latest in cybernetic technology. All traces of Henrietta's past are wiped from her mind, as she becomes one of the Agency's most lethal assassins.

- Why are at least two ...

Beatrice underrated af should've gotten more screentime

Rico became likeable halfway through the series, she was my least favorite in the first half

Petrushka - great couple, honestly ship them but I call BS when they met, Sandro didn't picked up on her suicidal behavior when he's supposed to be amazing in cold reading

Angelica - the feels bro, I didn't expect to cry, damn you Marco

I spend a lot of time reading manga at a local Barns & Noble.

I admit, I did not have high hopes for it, having flipped through the pages often and always putting it back on the shelf, but today I decided to read it.

The first thing that drew me in was the art. With a lot of works having pretty shoddy graphics, even after being serialized into a ...
