Dog Days

Princess Millhiore summons the athletic Cinque Izumi from Earth to Flonyard, a world inhabited by people with animal ears and tails. Her country, Biscotti, needs a champion against Galette's forces, and Cinque discovers that its battles are organized more like spectacular sporting contests than conventional warfare.

Accepting the role seems exciting until he learns that a summoned hero may not be able to return home. While his new allies search for a solution, Cinque grows closer to the princess and her defenders, only to encounter dangers beyond the protections that normally keep their contests safe.
