Dog Days

Synopsis

In the world of Flonyard—an alternate Earth where humanoid beings carry the ears and tails of various animals—the dog-eared citizens of the Republic of Biscotti find themselves besieged by the cat-like forces of the Galette Leo Knights. Desperate to protect her people, Princess Millhiore calls upon a champion from beyond her world. That champion is Cinque Izumi, an ordinary junior high schooler from Earth. Accepting the call, Cinque takes up the sacred weapon known as the Palladion and readies himself for battle. In Flonyard, however, warfare is a bloodless affair—conflicts are conducted more like sporting events, with the competing kingdoms vying for prize money rather than lives. Cinque proves his worth as Biscotti's champion, yet he soon learns a sobering truth: a summoned hero cannot simply be sent back home. While Biscotti's scientists work to find a means of returning Cinque to his own world, he must remain in Flonyard and continue to serve Princess Millhiore, fighting on as Biscotti's hero.
