Originally, "Gunnm" is a manga written and illustrated by Yukito Kishiro. "Gunnm" has nine volumes of about 220 pages each. These were published for the first time between 1990 and 1995 in the Business Jump magazine. The first French version was released between 1995 and 1998 by Glénat. The particularity of this manga, related to the cyberpunk genre, lies in its extreme violence and its very dark vision of humanity, which does not prevent some characters from having very deep feelings, contrasting radically with their environment. "Gunnm" takes place in a post-apocalyptic world in the twenty-sixth century, which is divided into two main parts: on the one side; the dump, a filthy and ultra-violent city populated mainly by cyborgs; beggars, criminals, bounty hunters, etc. And on the other side; Zalem, a city floating several thousand meters above the dump whose inhabitants are humans living in an idyllic environment. These are two places in perfect opposition and separated by impassable boundaries. The majority of the manga's action takes place in the landfill. In this world ruled by the strongest, a scientist, Dr. Dyson, discovers the carcass of a young abandoned cyborg. After having repaired it, and thus bringing it back to life, he calls it Alita ("Gally" in the manga). Having no memory of her past but showing impressive combat skills, she will try to unravel the mystery of her origins and better apprehend the world in which she now lives. This is to protect those she loves from terrifying enemies who relentlessly pursue them.
