Noir

Noir Info

Yuumura Kirika woke up one day in a house she didn't know and with no memory of her past. Mireille Bouquet, a well respected contract killer, wants revenge for the assassination of her parents. Kirika and Mireille are drawn together as each somehow knows the other is a clue to unlocking their past. The series, Noir, follows the adventures of these two female assassins.

The pair quickly learns that the Soldats are behind both their paths. The Soldats are an organization dedicated to eliminating sin by taking it upon themselves by killing those who sin. Those who challenge the will of the Soldats quickly find themselves very dead. However, factions within the Soldats itself are fighting over whether to revive and unleash the true power of Noir upon the world. This may provide the opportunity for Kirika and Mireille to each find what they are looking for.

Will Kirika find her past? Will Mireille get the revenge she wants? It seems only together can they unlock their past.

Noir, a name of destiny that has been ordained in the past.
Two women who reign over death.
May the black hands over the newborns protect the peace.

Le noir, ce mot designe depuis une epoque lointaine le nom du destin.
Les duex vierges regnent sur la mort.
Les mains noires protegent la pais des nouveaux-nes.
