”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school!
The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned here. I love that it's not just a romance, but also a story about what's underneath the face you show people.
Besides, she gives as good as she gets. Their ping pong is strong and there pop-up these hilarious situations when Sata or Erika is almost getting caught by her lies. Like how she has told people all about how her boyfriend is into bondage, and how Sata has to smile and nod, going along with Erika's weird lies. I kind of feel sorry for this guy. He thought he had the upper hand, but sometimes, it really feels like Erika is the winner.
I know this story by heart already (I've watched the anime at least 20 times!) and their love story and the whole funny setup never fails to entertain me.
