She: The Ultimate Weapon

Poor Chise has a crush on sullen Shuji, a fellow school student, but no sooner has she persuaded him to go out with her than she’s abducted by military scientists and secretly converted into a transforming atomic-powered killing machine. She becomes Japan’s last line of defense in an apocalyptic future war, and as her growing power enables her to wipe out enemy armies and cities, only her love for Shuji prevents her from being consumed by her appetite for destruction.
