The manga is a short serialization based on the one-shot manga of the same name that first debuted in July 2018. The manga chapter is available in Japanese and English on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app and Viz’s Shonen Jump app and website for free.
The one-shot takes place in the same world as Kubo’s Bleach manga. The chapter centers on Noel Niihashi and Nini Spangle, who work as witches at the Wing Bird headquarters in Reverse London’s Natural Dragon Management Agency. Those who live in Reverse London are able to see supernatural creatures such as dragons. Noel and Nini work to help promote coexistence between these creatures and humans, but sometimes must undergo missions to exterminate evil creatures.
The manga is also inspiring a theatrical anime adaptation that will debut this fall.
