Review	A cybernetician in a dystopian future finds a 300 year old cyborg head on the massive rubbish pile beneath the floating city of the elites. The brain is still alive and he reactivates the girl, cobbles together a new body for her and names her Alita (Gally in the Japanese) after a dead pet. And Gally begins her journey to recover her memory and her identity. This plays out as the drama of adolescence: finding herself, first love, rebellion against parents: but hidden in her past and her memory are powerful battle techniques. What was she? The story plays out over nine volumes, covers many additional plots including a mad scientist, rollerball-like sports, hyperviolent battes -- just about every manga trope you could ask for -- and finally, the shocking secret of the elites' city, and a mystical revelation.
