Plot
The series centers on a government-sponsored secret organization ("DA - Direct Attack") of all-girl agents known as "Lycoris", that prevent crimes while masquerading as everyday high school students. The elite Chisato Nishikigi is the strongest Lycoris agent of all time. Alongside her is Takina Inoue, the talented but mysterious Lycoris who was recently reassigned to work under Chisato after disobeying direct orders. They work together at one of its branches: Café LycoReco, a Japanese-style cafe in the old downtown area of Tokyo. The café takes in orders for anything from delicious coffee to sugary sweets ... and perhaps a little something extra like dealing with kids, business negotiations, love advice, one-on-ones about zombies and giant monsters, and more.
