Format:Paperback
Alita, a resurrected android girl-turned bounty hunter, falls in love with Hugo, a boy whose greatest dream is to leave the dreary Scrapyard and live in the floating utopian city Tiphares above. He's willing to do anything to buy his way into it, which puts him on the wrong side of the law, and up against Alita. Since he's not evil, just misguided, Alita tries to convince him of another way, while at the same time confronts her own humanity (or lack thereof) and struggles with the question of "how IS right and wrong defined in this savage world?" How far will Alita go for Hugo? Will Hugo even notice her interest in him? How does the serial killer Zapan fit in to all of this? Read the book, before I ask any more soap opera-like questions!!!!
This book would get 5 stars, but I found the ultraviolence to be a turnoff (and sorta unnecessary), and skimmed those parts. But the rest, from the tortured romance, to the musings on humanity, to the humor, is BEAUTIFULLY told by the terribly underrated Yukito Kishiro.
Format:Paperback
In the second volume, Alita has by now shown the strength neccessary to survive in the Scrapyard. But upon meeting a boy by the name of Hugo, she finds her fighting skills are nothing in the face of matters of the heart. Enamored with this boy, Alita soon finds herself on the wrong side of justice with him. Alita must decide whether to follow her heart and Hugo, or to do what is right. In this volume, Alita finds, holds, and loses her first love. Find out how this changes her and sets her upon the road to becoming the hard, cybernetic woman of the later volumes.
Format:Paperback
Alita falls in love with Hugo, only to be huanted by the fact that she has an artificial body. When Hugo appears on the bounty list, Alita must choose between helping him and becoming a bounty herself, or killing him.
