She, The Ultimate Weapon

Chise is a timid, physically fragile high school girl whose brightest spot is her tentative romance with Shuuji, a classmate and childhood friend. They live in a small military town in Hokkaido, where daily life is defined by school routines, local gossip, and the familiar trudge up “Hell Hill” on the way to class.

A trip to Sapporo for Shuuji and his friends is shattered by a devastating air raid that leaves thousands dead and marks the opening of a wider war. In the chaos, Shuuji encounters Chise again—now altered beyond recognition, outfitted with metal wings and a weapon replacing her right arm. Turned against her will into an overwhelming military asset, Chise’s new existence forces the couple to face a painful question as the conflict draws nearer: how much of her humanity can survive when she has been made into the ultimate weapon?
