When the nobility tries to monopolise magic, the crime rate surges. As a countermeasure, the Empire establishes a bureau dedicated to investigating magical crimes.

Rogue is a detective reassigned to the sixth branch office because of the schemes of his superior, Velladonna. There, he'll work alongside a witch who almost destroyed the Empire. Because of the dangers such witches pose, they are bound with collars that restrict their power.

However, Rogue's charming new partner, the Puppeteer, has no qualms about toying with him!

Witches Can't Be Collared, Vol. 1 offers a blend of magical intrigue and suspense, showcasing the balance between power and control.
