Noir - Complete Series (2001)

Mireille Bouquet is a professional assassin, and a very good one at that. But when she follows up an e-mail from a young Japanese girl named Yumura Kirika, inviting her to take "a pilgrimage to the past", her life becomes even more dangerous than it already is. Now, with a haunting melody invoking the memory of an event long past, Mireille and Kirika decide to work together to find the truth about a thousand year old organization that has controlled both of their lives since before they were born. And the only clue in their search, the only thing Kirika remembers about herself, becomes their working codename: a name designating an ancient fate, of two maidens who reign over death–Noir.

Paris. Une tueuse à gages très sexy, Mireille Bouquet, reçoit un mail d'une jeune Japonaise, Kirika Yuumura, lui proposant de faire un pélerinage dans le passé. En pièce jointe: un petit morceau de musique qui réveille en elle des souvenirs enfouis… Bien que Mireille trouve l'idée ridicule, elle part tout de même à sa rencontre mais se retrouve rapidement être la cible de malfaiteurs armés… Elle parvient à échapper à leurs griffes avec l'aide de la jeune inconnue.
