The audio drama features an impressive lineup of voice actors including Yohei Azakami, Hiroshi Nojima, Toyonori Yuki, and Masamu Ono, who all breathe life into the vibrant and diverse characters, depicting the Guardians' friendships, growth, and thrilling action sequences.

A Glimpse into the Story

Set in the year 2087, the narrative takes place 88 years after a catastrophic tsunami unleashed havoc across the oceans. It introduces a monstrous entity known as 'Mizu no Seki'. In this chaotic world, humans find solace and protection from the Guardians of Light. The protagonist, Tamon Fujikura (voiced by Masamu Ono), embarks on a mission as a pilgrimage officer to confront 'Mizu no Seki' and is tasked with eliminating the three-headed dragon threatening the villages of Chiba.

However, when faced with this formidable foe, the villagers' fear leads them to falsely accuse the Guardians, reigniting an ancient ritual intended to placate the dragon's wrath. Can Inubousaki Lighthouse (CV. Yohei Azakami), Nojimazaki Lighthouse (CV. Hiroshi Nojima), and Katsuura Lighthouse (CV. Toyonori Yuki) bring back the light that once shone over the Boso seas?
