As they solve a dragon-related incident that occurs in the reverse world, they learn about their own past and deepen their bonds with their friends. Particularly noteworthy is the character development of Neil and Noel, the difficulties they face, and the process of overcoming them. characterNinomiya Niiru has a cool and rational personality and is highly skilled as a witch, but he also has past trauma. On the other hand, Shirai Noel has a bright and lively personality, and is the polar opposite of Niiru, but she also has her own worries. The contrast between these two characters adds depth to the story and draws the viewer in.
