Crunchyroll previously streamed the 2020 film, and here is a brief description of the storyline:

In the historically dragon-infested city of London, where 72% of deaths are attributed to these elusive and fantastical creatures, a hidden world exists that only the residents of Reverse London can perceive. Within this clandestine realm, some individuals possess the ability to confront and interact with these dragons, while the majority of the populace remains oblivious.

The narrative centers around Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole, a pair of witches tasked with safeguarding dragons on behalf of Wing Bind (WB), an organization dedicated to the conservation and management of these magnificent beings. Their duty is to protect and oversee the dragons dwelling in London for the well-being of its inhabitants.

The serialized manga adaptation of the series originally comprised four chapters and premiered on August 24, 2020. Viz Media is responsible for publishing the English version of the manga, including the original 2018 one-shot manga prologue. Additionally, the manga is set to receive a "Season 2" sequel.
