Noir - S01

On a sunny afternoon in her Paris apartment, assassin-for-hire Mireille Bouquet gets a strange email from Kirika Yuumura, a young student from Japan, inviting her to "make a pilgrimage to the past" together. At first she thinks the email is nonsense, but she changes her mind when it starts playing a song she recognizes from her youth. When they meet in person for the first time, the two are suddenly ambushed by gunmen. Mireille can hold her own in a fight, but she discovers that Kirika is also quite skilled in combat after Kirika takes out several gunmen by herself. Despite being good at killing, Kirika regrets that she feels no remorse for her victims. She also has no memory of how she got her skills or even of her real identity. Feeling they share a history, Mireille agrees to team up with Kirika, and together they set out to uncover the mysteries of their pasts. Working under the codename "Noir," the duo's fragile partnership is tested as they take on jobs, each one bringing them closer to the truth of who they really are.
