Lycoris Recoil
In a world where peace is maintained by a secret organization known as "DA - Direct Attack," the all-female agent unit "Lycoris" works behind the scenes to prevent crime. This seemingly ordinary life is made possible by these young operatives. Among them is Chisato Nishikigi, the most elite Lycoris agent in history, and Takina Inoue, a skilled yet enigmatic member. Together, they are stationed at one of DA's fronts—Café LycoReco. While the café appears to be a normal business, it also handles a variety of unusual requests, from childcare and shopping to teaching Japanese to foreign students. These tasks, though far from the typical duties of Lycoris agents, are part of their daily routine. Chisato, a free-spirited and optimistic pacifist, contrasts with Takina, who is cool-headed and highly efficient. Their contrasting personalities lead to a chaotic yet engaging daily life as they navigate both their secret missions and the challenges of running a café.
