🎬 Plot Overview (Spoiler-Free)
Lycoris Recoil is set in an alternate, futuristic Tokyo where a secret organization known as the Direct Attack (DA) covertly maintains Japan’s seemingly perfect, crime-free peace. This is achieved through the use of an all-female task force of assassins and spies, known as “Lycoris,” who are disguised as high school students.
The story focuses on two agents transferred to one of DA’s branches, which operates under the cover of a charming café called “Café LycoReco.” The first is Takina Inoue, a highly talented, cool-headed, and brutally efficient Lycoris who was disciplined and demoted for disobeying orders during a mission gone wrong. The second is Chisato Nishikigi, the legendary elite Lycoris agent known for her unparalleled combat skills and, uniquely, her strictly non-lethal philosophy, which uses specialized rubber bullets.
The series is driven by the dynamic between the serious, pragmatic Takina and the free-spirited, optimistic Chisato as they handle missions ranging from retrieving lost belongings and providing childcare to high-stakes counter-terrorism operations. Their chaotic but endearing everyday life is soon interrupted by an anarchist named Majima, who seeks to expose the truth about the DA’s covert operations, forcing Chisato and Takina to confront the moral compromises that underpin their “peaceful” world.
