Overview: What is Dragonaut - The Resonance?#
Dragonaut - The Resonance is a blend of science fiction, fantasy, and drama that takes place in a world facing an existential threat. To prevent Earth’s destruction by an asteroid, the International Solarsystem Development Agency (ISDA) initiates the “D-Project,” creating dragons after discovering a mysterious egg beneath the ocean.
The story follows Jin Kamishina, who is thrust into the center of a conspiracy after witnessing a murder by a dragon-like creature. Jin becomes a “Dragonaut” (a dragon pilot) and is aided by Toa, a mysterious girl who saves his life. Together, they navigate the mysteries of these powerful creatures while developing a close relationship amidst a backdrop of mecha action and romantic tension.
