Studio Echo describes A Certain Dark Item:

Academy City’s scientific advances promise a bright future, but behind its orderly surface, secret organizations carry out work the public never sees. ITEM is one such unit: four girls whose extraordinary abilities and ruthless methods keep them alive in the city’s underworld. Their dangerous assignments test the bonds between them, and the arrival of a fifth girl draws the team into even deeper darkness.
