Lycoris Recoil Summary

Thanks to the efforts of a syndicate called Direct Attack (DA), the number of terrorist attacks in Japan has never been less. The organization raises orphaned girls as assassins to carry out assassinations as part of their "Lycoris" program. Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris, with a strong will and a penchant for perfection. Unfortunately, her patience is tested in a hostage situation, and the resulting act of disobedience results in her being removed from the DA's office. He's not thrilled about losing the only place he belonged, but reluctantly reaches his new home base: LycoReco, a cafe in disguise.

But Takina's new partner turns out to be very different from what she imagined. Despite being Lycoris' famous child prodigy, Chisato Nishikigi seems almost unconcerned about her duties. Under the simple pretext of helping people in need, he drags Takina into all sorts of odd jobs. Takina is further stunned when Chisato hunts down a group of armed assailants without killing any of them. Feeling like a fish out of water, Takina is hell-bent on rejoining the DA's office, but Chisato is determined to show her there's more to life than just taking it.
