Shout and Crunchy are "trash throw away-ers" who operate in the dead of night. Makina is a 16-year-old witch who has arrived in the human world, specifically London, to spend one year studying how to become a proper bride. However, Makina seeks out Shout and Crunchy, begging them to discard her "Witch's Book." In truth, Makina wishes to abandon her witchcraft and live as a normal girl, viewing the book as merely an obstacle. Yet, the book is not something one can simply throw away.
