The story is set in a world where dragons exist, and humans can't see them. The only people who are actually able to see the dragons are the inhabitants of Reverse London, which is located behind Front London. Among them, a select group of people have been chosen to become witches/wizards and so be qualified to have direct contact with dragons.
The protagonists are the witch duo of Niihashi Noel and Nini Spangle, 2nd Order ranked members of the Dragon Conservation and Control Agency, Wing Bind. Their mission is to protect the dragons in London on behalf of those who cannot come into contact with them.
