My Death-Defying Dog: Man’s Best Friend, World’s Best Savior

The years have felt hollow ever since Hayate lost his beloved dog, Rikimaru. But after losing his ordinary life in a freak accident, Hayate is reincarnated in a fantasy realm whose resident Goddess tasks him with saving her world from impending doom—and gives him the chance to reunite with Rikimaru. The twist: Hayate’s not the one playing hero. His pup is! Granted the might of a legendary savior, Rikimaru wastes no time in vanquishing evil and enjoying his zoomies. Meanwhile, the good-natured and congenial Hayate is forced to navigate strange new lands and thorny political intrigue. Still, if there’s one thing Hayate knows, it’s that he wants to do right by the innocents of this world...and pamper his lovable little pumpkin every step of the way!

Joining forces, Hayate and Monica vow to do everything in their power to free the Madras from the dark designs of the sinister secret union between the Tajiff Company and the newly corrupted Church—aided, of course, by the adorable powerhouse that is Rikimaru. To that end, Hayate and Monica hatch a bold scheme to infiltrate a high society masquerade and gather intel incognito. But when they face off against a determined agent of the Church, will they be able to escape this mess—without Rikimaru's power to help them this time?

Despite all her research, Monica struggles to crack the secrets behind the magic collars that the Church is manufacturing to enslave Madras. There is, however, a place where the magic tool clan of old had their records sealed away, a land to the north isolated by snow and ice. Hayate and friends journey there to find all sorts of surprises: a secret community of human and Madras guardians, a new enemy from the Church, and a stunning revelation about Hayate’s mission and the Goddess who brought him and his beloved dog back to life...
