## Synopsis

In a Tokyo kept quietly safe by a covert agency, elite girls called Lycoris handle threats the public never hears about. Chisato Nishikigi is the best of them — a prodigiously gifted markswoman with an unshakable smile and a stubborn refusal to take lives — paired against her will with Takina Inoue, a coldly efficient agent exiled to the cafe LycoReco after breaking the rules. As the mismatched duo runs jobs between serving coffee, a larger threat closes in and forces Chisato's sunny philosophy up against a darker world. It's a stylish, heartfelt story carried by the chemistry between its two leads.
