Introduction

Chemoner Mask is the strongest masked wrestler.

The arena is cheering loudly as the final World Title match between Chemoner Mask and his opponent MAO is coming to an end. The gong is about to sound… or it was supposed to. Right in the middle of the match, Chemoner Mask (AKA Genzo Shibata) gets summoned into another world from the ring he was just standing in.

Princess Altena orders Genzo to defeat the demon king and his evil magical beasts. However, as Genzo loves animals he firmly rejects her orders!

Even beasts won’t attack innocent people, if treated with affection!

Genzo’s true dream was to run a pet shop surrounded by beasts. Is he able to start a brilliant second life in this world?
