Crunchyroll streamed the previous installment of the series for fans worldwide. Here’s how the platform describes the plot:
In the past, a staggering 72% of fatalities in London have been attributed to dragons - mythical creatures that remain unseen by the general population. However, unbeknownst to many, there are individuals in Reverse London who have been bravely confronting these dragons. Only the residents of this clandestine "reverse" side of London possess the ability to perceive these awe-inspiring beings.
Only a few individuals are deemed worthy enough to become witches or wizards and interact directly with them. The main characters of the story are a witch pair named Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole. They work as protection agents for Wing Bind (WB), an organization dedicated to the preservation and control of dragons. Their task is to safeguard and oversee the dragons located in London, acting on behalf of the community.
