Dog Days

Princess Millhiore of the Biscotti Republic decides to summon a brave warrior from an alternate world — that happens to be Earth — to defend her country from the neighbouring fiefdom of Garrett led by the powerful Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois.

The "brave warrior" turns out to be an athletic boy named Cinque, visiting the international school in Kinokawa City.

On arrival in this world, Cinque, quickly takes on the role of a successful hero.

There is a downside to all this though: once summoned, a return to the hero's world of origin is no longer possible, as the disclaimer in tiny alien writing on the magic circle explains, that Tatsumaki used to teleport Cinque to this world.

The temporary fun-packed visit to this strange land, has become quite permanent as it seems.

Will Cinque be able to cope with all the adventures of this new reality?

Note: The first episode received a preview airing on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, 2011 at Gamers Akihabara headquarters in Tokyo, Gamers Nagoya branch and Gamers Namba branch in Osaka.

It was limited to 100 people at Nagoya and Namba and 80 people at Akihabara.

Initially the preview was planned as part of an event at Animecontents Expo on Sunday, March 27, 2011 but the Expo was cancelled because of the Great Tohoku Kanto Earthquake.

The regular television airing started on April 2, 2011.
