An
interesting plot of crime and magic

causing an increase in crime. To deal with this chaos, a body is established in
charge of investigating magical crimes. The protagonist, Rogue, is
a detective transferred to the sixth division due to intrigues of his
superior, Velladonna. There she must work alongside a powerful
witch known as the Puppeteer, whose reputation places her as a
threat to the empire.
In this
world, witches are chained with restrictive necklaces that
limit their abilities. However, his new partner is not afraid to manipulate
Rogue at will, turning their relationship into a dangerous dynamic full of
intrigue.
