Lycoris
Recoil Synopsis
The
number of terrorist acts in Japan has never been lower, thanks to the efforts
of a syndicate called Direct Attack (DA). The organization raises orphaned
girls as assassins to carry out killings under its “Lycoris” program. Takina
Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris, with a strong sense of will and a penchant for
perfection. Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests her patience, and the
resulting act of insubordination gets her transferred out of the DA. She’s not
thrilled about losing the only place she belongs, but reluctantly arrives at
her new base of operations: LycoReco, a coffee shop in disguise.
However,
Takina's new partner turns out to be very different from what she imagined.
Despite being the famed prodigy of Lycoris, Chisato Nishikigi seems almost
unconcerned about her duties. She drags Takina into all sorts of odd jobs under
the simple explanation of helping people in need. Takina is further bewildered
when Chisato takes down a group of armed assailants without killing any of
them. Feeling like a fish out of water, Takina is determined to rejoin the DA,
but Chisato is determined to show her that there's more to a life than simply
taking it.
