Synopsis
Invisible dragons kill 72% of Londoners; witches in Reverse London secretly protect both cities from the mythical beasts.
Although citizens of London view dragons as a fairy-tale myth, statistics confirm that 72% of the city's deaths are caused by these grotesque beings. Unable to see them, the public is oblivious to their existence. However, in a mirror dimension to "Front London," exists a place where dragons can be seen with the naked eye—"Reverse London." Ninny Spangcole is a member of a popular girl group. But in Reverse London, she works as a "Witch" at Wing Bind—an organization that dispatches agents to exterminate the beasts and protect the citizens of both Londons using magic. Ninny and her partner, Noel Niihashi, in addition to their jobs, safeguard Balgo Ywain Parks, a young man with an unusual connection to the dragons. Thanks to the Wing Bind's hard work, there were no fatal dragon attacks for almost a century. But the peace may not last forever as tensions rise between the hidden world of dragons and those who protect both Londons from their threat.
