Franken Fran
フランケン・ふらん
Somewhere, out in the sticks of rural Japan, there is a mysterious manor that is home to the greatest surgeon who ever lived. But when the surgeon goes missing, his reanimated daughter, Fran, takes up the family profession, and despite her Frankenstein-like ways, cares deeply for her patients and holds steadfast to the Hippocratic Oath. Fran’s creed? “All lives must be saved, no matter the cost!”
Join Fran, her twisted sister Veronica, and the rest of her monstrous entourage in a gruesomely hilarious tale that would put Mary Shelley to shame! Because for Franken Fran, the ends always justify the means, no matter what ungodly creations emerge from her lab.

Characters
斑木フラン
MAINThe main protagonist of the manga, Fran Madaraki lives at the Madaraki estate. Though she is often mistaken for Naomitsu Madaraki's daughter, she is actually his greatest "masterpiece." She is fitted with two sizable bolts upon her temples and marred with faint stitches, giving her a distinctly inhuman appearance. She has a unique view of morality, finding certain cases emotionally-moving and experimenting out of the goodness of her heart.
斑木ヴェロニカ
MAINVeronica Madaraki is an assassin bio-weapon created by Dr. Madaraki for his own protection and has apparently killed "mountains of people" in her efforts to protect him. In addition to her naturally high combat ability, she is trained in the handling of explosives and the setting of traps in the field. A large, X-shaped stitch marks her face. Because she was created after Fran, Veronica calls her “elder sister”. She wields a huge guillotine blade in her right arm and a sharp sword in her left. She also has sharpened daggers sticking out of the pommel. She follows her own battle etiquette: “To murder while causing as little suffering as possible”. In opposition to Fran, who believes that “regardless of the shape or form, if it can function as a living organism it is good”, Veronica supports the notion of “rather a painless death than a painful life” and is quite horrified to see the work Fran has produced of a family after she tried to eliminate the "hostiles" who were nearing the facility. She is the antithetical existence to Fran. She seems to be very protective of Fran despite her initial hostility towards her when they first met, and will not hesitate to eliminate anything that threatens her, although Fran stops her most of the time because of her beliefs. Veronica has an electro-shock device implanted in her by Fran to ensure loyalty but it has not seen any use since Veronica's initial infiltration of the lab.
