Lycoris Recoil Chisato Takina Son Adornadas La Flor Del Infierno

The anime Lycoris Recoil has the following description: 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 orphan girls as assassins to carry out assassinations under its “Lycoris” program. Takina Inoue is an exceptional Lycoris with a strong sense of determination and a penchant for perfection.

Unfortunately, a hostage situation tests her patience, and the resulting act of insubordination causes her to be transferred out of the DA. Not too happy about losing the only place she ever belonged, she 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 Lycoris’ famous prodigy, 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 even more perplexed when Chisato takes down a group of armed robbers without killing any of them. Feeling like a fish out of water, Takina longs to rejoin the DA, but Chisato is determined to show her that a life is more than just taking them.
