I believe this manga is relatively old, probably from the '90s. I don't recall
there being an anime adaptation of it.

At the beginning of the story, a man found the partially destroyed head of an
android with the brain still intact. He used parts from other androids he had
found to reconstruct her. Her first limbs were delicate and were decorated
with flower designs, I think. If I remember correctly, they were destroyed
when she took on a powerful android. The man used this android's parts to
create strong, sturdy limbs for the android girl.

The girl was cheerful and very expressive despite being an android. She was
probably in her "teens," had shoulder-length black hair and was drawn with
large, emotive eyes. The man was older, and I think he was a scientist or
researcher, as well as a fighter. The other androids that appeared were drawn
in great detail, and I think there was some detailed gore.

The last thing I remember is that they were in a bar, and there was a giant
android head/snake-like thing that was attacking them.
