Opening introduction, Kirika's (later with Mireille) voice-over towards the audience:

{{cquote|NOIR...It is the name of an ancient fate, two maidens govern death. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect.}}

The series follows the story of two young female assassins, the [[Corsica]]n Mireille Bouquet and the [[Japan]]ese amnesiac Kirika Yuumura, who embark together on a personal journey to seek answers about mysteries concerning their past. At first, they seem to be only vaguely related to each other, but there are clues and hints given throughout the series that there is more going on behind the scenes than at first glance.

In their journey to learn more about Kirika's lost memories and her connection to Mireille, the two form an alliance and begin performing assassinations under the code name "Noir." During the course of the series, they are lured into more and more traps by a secret organization named ''Les Soldats'' ("The Soldiers" in [[French language|French]]). Les Soldats are a secret organization that has been a part, yet separate group of humanity. It is this hidden group that created and once completely controlled the deadly duo "Noir". Each time that Les Soldats soldiers are sent to kill Mireille and Kirika, it is considered a test as to whether or not the young women are suitable to carry the title "Noir".
