"Schwarzes Marken" is set in 1944 after World War II. A mysterious weapon called the "Hexe" appears on Germany's Eastern Front, tormenting the Allied forces. The "Hexe" is a special fighter plane piloted by young girls, who are called "Witches." The protagonist, Theodor Eberbach, meets one of the witches, Katharina Höpke, and fights alongside her. The story depicts the struggles and growth of Theodor, Katharina, and the other witches.

The charm of "Schwarzes Marken" is, above all, its unique characters. Below are the main characters.

The music is also one of the attractions of Schwarzes Marken. The opening theme, "Senpuu no Lauda," is a powerful song that expresses the tension of the battlefield and the courage of the witches.
