Synopsis

Irene is a professional assassin who is able to transform into any type of woman using her 'make-up' power, but instead of killing in cold blood, she uses her abilities for good.

Trivia

• One of Irene's abilities is to fling her fake nails at her opponants; possibly an inspiration for Part 7's Johnny Joestar's stand ability.
• Several of the characters in the manga have similar appearances with those from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:
  • Roba's gang members have headgear similar to the Pillar Men
  • Micheal has a strong resemblance to Jonathan Joestar
  • The man in the bar's hairstyle is similar to Stroheim's.
