Set in modern-day [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], Gunslinger Girl follows the exploits of the Social Welfare Agency (often referred to as simply "the Agency"), ostensibly a charitable institution sponsored by the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

While the Agency professes to aid the rehabilitation of the physically injured, it is actually a military organization specializing in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

It comprises two independent branches, Public Safety (公安部, kōan-bu[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) and Special Ops (作戦部, sakusen-bu[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]), with Public Safety being its surveillance and intelligence-gathering arm and Special Ops its anti-terrorist division.[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Special Ops is itself divided into Sections 1 and 2,[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] the latter of which employs young girls fitted with cybernetic implants as agents. The implants, which consist of synthesized muscles and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] frames, result in heightened strength and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] as well as high resilience to damage and pain.

Each girl is paired with a male trainer, or "handler," and together they are referred to as a [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for "brother"). The handler is responsible for the training, welfare and field performance of his charge, and is free to use whatever methods he considers suitable.

While these methods vary according to the handler, a common part of each girl's regimen is brainwashing called "conditioning," which produces a deadly assassin with unquestioning loyalty to her handler.
