action
Najica is a good-looking perfume designer from CRI Cosmetics and has created the extremely successful Day Series fragrance for them, in which each day of the week has its own fragrance. Only Sunday is missing in this series.
At the same time, she also works as a top agent, because CRI Cosmetics maintains a top secret department, which Najica repeatedly brings difficult jobs. On an assignment, she saves the girl Lila, who is not a person at all, but a Humalit ( Android ). The lone fighter Najica has to learn that Lila will be her partner with immediate effect, which she is not at all enthusiastic about at first. Difficulties also arise from the fact that Lila has superhuman powers, but her intellect always leaves something to be desired, because it resembles that of a child. As it soon turns out, Lila isn't the only Humalite, and Najica soon feels like the in-house Humalite hunter.
Characters
- Najica Hiiragi ( 柊 七 虹 香 ): Najica works as a successful perfume designer at CRI Cosmetics. When she receives a red rose, it means that her skills as an unbeatable agent are in demand again. Najica is cool and always perfectly dressed and otherwise a perfectionist. She enjoys being admired, but doesn't get involved with men. In the use of her firearms, which do not kill but just make the enemy faint for a while, she is always precise. At first she is downright offended that she has been assigned a partner, but she soon learns to appreciate Lila's abilities. The voice actress is Yumi Tōma .
- Kirara Mitsuboshi ( 御 津 星 キ ラ ラ ): The cute Kirara (22) is Najica's right-hand man in her work as a perfume designer and was also involved in the development of the “Day Series”. If Najica has another job as an agent, she will be represented by Kirara. The shy Kirara goes well with the confident Najica. The voice actress is Natsuko Kuwatani .
- Purple ( リ ラ ): The sweet female Humalite Purple (serial number ZZZ) saw the light of day in a Shinba Industries laboratory . After her liberation by Najica, Gento programs her as her master , so that Lila follows Najica's commands blindly, which sometimes causes the latter a headache. While Lila has superhuman powers, she first has to learn all the skills that were not programmed into her, which repeatedly leads to embarrassing and dangerous situations. The voice actress is Juri Ihata.
- Gento Kuraku ( 玖 洛 玄 人 ): Gento (26) works at Shinba Industries and is one of Najica's clients. Most of the time it's about capturing lost Humalites from Shinba Industries. What role he plays and has played here, and why the development of Humalites was stopped, remains in the dark. Mr. Kuraku tries hard to get close to Najica, but has only very modest success. The voice actor is Unshō Ishizuka .
- Jin Majima ( 間 島 甚 ): The cool and calculating-looking Mr. Majima (47) is the head of the CRI secret organization. His private life is a well-kept secret. The voice actor is Iemasa Kayumi.
- Reina Uzuki ( 海 槻 玲奈 ) and Shinobu Misato ( 美 郷 偲 ): Ms. Uzuki (26) and Ms. Misato (25) are the private secretaries of Mr. Majima. Since the two and Najica are about the same age, they are friends.
