Set in a different Tokyo on a different world than ours, the story follows Tokunana, a unit of assembled misfits in the Metropolitan Police Department. Tokunana battles against "Nine" — an organization committing crimes in their zealous worship of the dragons that once roamed the world.

Harume Kosaka ( Sailor Moon technical director) is directing the anime with chief director Takayuki Kuriyama ( Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion ), and Yuichiro Higashide ( Fate/Apocrypha ) is in charge of the series scripts. Hiroya Iijima ( Mazinger Z: Infinity ) is adapting the original character designs by manga creator Nanae Chrono ( Peace Maker ) for animation.
