story

The setting of "Dirty Pair FLASH" is an organization called WWWA (World Welfare Work Association). Kei and Yuri, new trouble consultants (commonly known as "Tracon") working there, are a duo with the code name "Lovely Angel". Kei is tomboyish and impulsive, while Yuri calls herself a gentle maiden. They have opposite personalities, but sometimes they get into conflict and sometimes they work together to solve difficult cases. Since they have only recently formed a duo, they do not like each other and have difficulty working together even as a duo. Meanwhile, Waldes, who controls a sub-organization of the huge criminal organization Lucifer, begins to work behind the scenes to take over the organization. Kei often confronts Freya, an assassin he hired, and leaves the Tracon to fight Freya and continues to pursue her alone. Meanwhile, Yuri has a new partner and investigates Waldes' case. The story unfolds as Kei and Yuri walk separate paths...
