Synopsis: The future.
The people that migrated to an alternate dimensional space, seeking a new world to live in, started an armed rebellion in order to declare independence from Earth. Thus, multidimensional war broke out with the United Army of Earth. The battlefronts spread, and the fight grew long.
In their desire to break the deadlock, the United Army of Earth decided to launch a large-scale offensive, deploying to the front line vast amounts of "Assault Girls" -- new arms that would render all previous weaponry ineffective.
Piloted by outcasts and criminals, the members of the The 13th Independent Assault Girl Hunting Platoon -- dubbed "The Hyena Platoon" -- are tasked with hunting down and destroying rogue Assault Girl pilots, who have succumbed to the corruption [of mind/ brains] that eventually befalls all pilots.(Bato.to)

Side notes: The first volume has been now translated and added online reading sites. Bato.to doesn't age flag it but reading the tag list gives you a pretty good reason to add a Heavy age tag R18. I don't usually make this classification but with this manga I do feel it's necessary. The art is quite personalized by the style and it depends a lot from a reader do they like it or not. My feeling was that it's a mixer of Shingeki kyojin and Tokyo Ghoul, though this manga takes even one step or two further in realm of blood and gore. The idea for the story is okay and I'm not that much against it... I just don't like the violence and gore.>.<; And I don't get the mecha design and need for fanservice... but it probably goes as a contradiction for the image of cute girls that can be anything inside (for feminist this manga would be a golden opportunity to start criticising its picture of females).
Main characters
I'm adding this a bit later.
