Lycoris Recoil #1

In the high-stakes world of Lycoris Recoil, a squad of teenage operatives is dispatched to stop a dangerous weapons deal—only for one agent to make a split-second decision that changes her life. Forced to act to save her team, she’s reassigned to a quiet, unassuming café, where her past as a killer is far from forgotten.

In the quiet hum of a downtown cafe, Chisato and Takina play their parts as servers—until a hidden threat emerges. As Chisato tries to rein in Takina’s impulsive instincts, the two find themselves drawn into protecting a young woman targeted by someone with ties to a dangerous arms network.

In "Lycoris Recoil #1" (2024), Jo and Chisato face a chilling escalation when a stalker gang abducts Saori, leading Takina to take a dangerous stand in a high-speed confrontation. As the Lycoris team grapples with the fallout, Direct Attack discovers a weapons deal has already gone through, while the rival Alan Institute reports a mysterious breach in their systems. Later, at the cafe, Mika shares a quiet moment with a stranger—someone who knows Chisato, and who seems to know him, too.
