Wolf Guy

Wolf Guy - Wolfen Crest (Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou'') is a Seinen manga by Tabata Yoshiaki and Yugo Yuuki, the same guys behind Akumetsu. Like Akumetsu, it's a pretty violent series with a mysterious male protagonist, though with a more supernatural bent.

According to TheOtherWiki, however, Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest is actually one of the many remakes of a short shonen manga from The Seventies, originally written by Kazumasa Hirai and illustrated by Hisashi Sakaguchi, but it takes a few notes from Hirai's later novel entitled Adult Wolf Guy as well. The manga even had an OAV series in the early nineties, with famous seiyuu Toshiyuki Morikawa voicing the male lead, Inugami Akira (here you can watch the OP song). Yuuki and Tabata took the basic concept of the oldie manga, re-set it in modern times, and gave it a really Darker and Edgier spin.

The story goes like this. Akiko Aoshika, a beleaguered and incredibly hot middle school teacher, is stumbling home from an evening at the bar after another day of hell at work. She comes across a young man, Inugami Akira who keeps her from falling flat on her face. After arguing back and forth about her being a teacher or not, he tells her to beat feet, for a storm's a brewin'...

Unsurprisingly, Aoshika follows him anyway, whereupon he walks smack into a large gang. They proceed to beat the tar out of the boy, while the teacher looks on in horror. Not that it matters, as he springs back up five minutes later. The gang leader decides to be more thorough and employs Car Fu to take the boy down. This seems to work so they turn their attention to back Ms. Aoshika, who is in the early stages of Heroic BSOD due flashbacks of her own troubled youth. Eventually she just faints. When she wakes up, all of the gang members have been beaten up and she is completely unhurt.

Flash-forward to the next day, where she is dropped off at the school by the police. By the way, guess who's her new transfer student?...

The series finished with 117 chapters, 12 collected Volumes.

Character sheet is here.

This series contains examples of:

 * Achilles Heel: For werewolves, the moon, obviously. Inugami's conscience even admits that the new moon is the ONLY reason he didn't
 * Adult Fear: Rape, stalking, sociopaths... Not to mention school troubles like bullying, gangs, and school shootings.
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Ryuuko and Haguro. Also, Ryuuko AND Aoshika both want Inugami, though they differ in their reasoning. Aoshika wants him because, magnetism aside, he looks Lonely At the Top and she wants to help him; Ryuuko, on the other hand, simply wants to bang the most evil and powerful man she can find... and if she can't find the most evil, then she'll settle for the most powerful.
 * Subverted recently, for Ryuuko, who although she loves watching horrible acts of violence, she's not into pain being done to HER person. As such, after, it would seem she and Haguro are growing apart.
 * Always Save the Girl: Inugami. Having a conscience hurts.
 * Animal Motifs: A trait carried over from the original manga and novels, where it was common for characters aside the Wolf Inugami to be compared or even morph in other animals; in here Haguro was introduced as a parallel to a lion, Aoshika and her fragility of a deer (it's even on her name); the Kuroda brothers are actually beyond this and clearly Animal Stereotypes.
 * Animal Stereotypes: This troper can think of no other reason for the Kuroda brothers looking the way they do.
 * Artistic Age: Take Haguro, who is in ninth-grade, but looks to be in his mid-to-late twenties. A flashback to when he was 11 just made him less built then his current, man-bodied figure. The rest of the grade isn't much younger-looking, seeming like an off-handed Dawson Casting if not for it being a manga with original characters.
 * Attempted Rape: Several times. Poor Ms. Aoshika.
 * Battle in The Center of The Mind: Inugami.
 * Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Ryuuko was abused and raped by her dad and a pimp. Look where it got her.
 * Berserk Button: Inugami becomes this for many people, specifically the Kurodas.
 * For Inugami himself, referring to gangs as "a pack of wolves."
 * Big Bad Wannabe: The Kurodas yet again. Also Haguro, though in his case, it's more like an evil ox wanting to be a dragon.
 * Black Bra and Panties: Ryuuko's underwear. We get to see the bra cut off alongside her school shirt when
 * Blatant Lies: He's just wearing a very good wolf-head mask. Honest!
 * Brain Bleach: Keep some on hand, you WILL need it.
 * Break the Cutie: The author and artist seem intent on destroying everyone Inugami doesn't hate. Specially poor
 * Break the Haughty: Haguro. Subverted in that it actually makes him haughtier.
 * Bring My Brown Pants: Aoshika has a moment after glimpsing Inugami in all his splendor.
 * Broken Bird: Nearly every female in the series is one or becomes one.
 * Bullying a Dragon: It's like everyone has a deathwish by trying to bully Inugami.
 * In fact, his aunt insinuated that normal humans have a predisposition to just want to start fights with Inugami, since he isn't a normal human and they therefore want to eliminate him as a threat to their hierarchy.
 * Can't Argue With Elves: Inugami dislikes humans because he thinks they are battle-happy idiots.
 * Though later  he realizes that he really isn't any better.
 * Cartwright Curse: Pretty much any woman around Inugami is doomed to suffer or die. Except Ryuuko, who's damaged in a different way.
 * The Chosen One: Haguro seems to think he's this. Digest that for a moment.
 * Christmas Cake: Aoshika. She actually was married, but then she got divorced and is now going for this. She even lampshades it in the first chapter.
 * Likes Older Women:, from what it looks like.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: Inugami and DAMN, does Haguro make him suffer for it.
 * Comically Missing the Point: No, Haguro, Inugami did not show you his werewolf form because he feels you can understand him and has a burning desire to be with you. He did it to get you to leave him alone forever. didn't work with all he does to anyone he thinks gets too close to Inugami.
 * Crapsack World: This is not a happy place.
 * Creepy Child: MANY.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Anyone vs. Inugami. On both sides.
 * Deadly Dodging: Inugami's preferred fighting style.
 * Death By Sex/Driven to Suicide : Apparently sleeping with Ryuuko Konuma will drain you of your will to live if you are not Badass enough.
 * We've heard her talk. You'd slit your wrists just not to hear her mouth again.
 * Defiled Forever
 * Dissonant Serenity: Haguro and Ryuuko, frequently.
 * Distressed Damsel: Poor Ms. Aoshika.
 * Haguro tries to invoke this trope with Ryuuko, but she points out that Inugami isn't interested in her.
 * The Dog Bites Back: Haguro, Chiba has had it up to HERE with your bullshit.
 * Chiba, Haguro has had it up to HERE with your.
 * Doesn't Like Guns: Subverted. When Kuro asks him for a gun, Haguro invokes the trope, explaining to him how guns complicate things and must be avoided. Then leaves the armory key easily within reach.
 * Dying Like Animals: The student body are presented as boars and their actions are deconstructed by Inugami in Chapter 24 when they try to intimidate Haguro's thugs from jumping Inugami. He actually invoked this trope in chapter 35 by calling them all "sheep", since the student body were holding out for Inugami to take the major blows from Haguro and his gang before acting against Haguro themselves (though by this definition, they'd be lambs).
 * Dysfunction Junction: All the important characters have problems. Those who currently have manageable ones will soon have more piled on top of those.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: The leaps in logic that Haguro makes sometimes must be read to be believed.
 * Fan Disservice: Whenever Haguro's sadistic nympho girlfriend Ryuuko gets turned on, the next few pages at least are bound to turn a few stomachs. Pass the Brain Bleach!
 * Aoshika-sensei in her underwear? Squee. Aoshika-sensei in her underwear when ? Oh Hell, NO!
 * Ryuuko is pretty much this trope incarnate. Seeing her huge boobs after ? And then   Eeeeew, no. And this isn't one of her worst/lesser moments, either...
 * A handsome and rugged-looking dude and a naked beauty hugging? Hot, and sometimes sweet. ? More like both disturbing and heartbreaking.
 * Fantastic Racism: Inugami towards humans.
 * Fingore - When Haguro learns of how Kuro unwittingly damaged his reputation, he removes his finger - by grinding it between his signet ring and the floor. Seeing how Haguro is a son to a Yakuza boss, it was a sort of inverted Yubitsume.
 * , Haguro gets to slice two of fingers, and he eats them in an insane attempt to confirm Haguro is.
 * It looks like
 * Flash Step - Inugami under a full moon.
 * Foil/Evil Counterpart: Inugami and Aoshika vs Haguro and Konuma: a strong, proud young man who hangs around a comparatively more sensible, if broken young woman. While Inugami and Aoshika eventually rise above this, Haguro and Konuma never do.
 * Forced to Watch: Inugami
 * From Nobody to Nightmare: Kuro.
 * Gang Bangers: They abound.
 * Get a Hold of Yourself Man: Delivered by Aoshika to the local Butt Monkey when
 * Good Is Not Nice: Inugami rescues his teacher from baddies on the regular, gives hope to his oppressed fellow classmates and stops an Ax Crazy He is also a jerk to everyone.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: He may be a jerk, but not a super asshole either.
 * Good Thing You Can Heal: Inugami's tendency towards taking hits increases with his power, depending on the lunar phases.
 * Under the full moon, he can and has take a shotgun to the face with literally no injury.
 * Under the new moon, while completely human and vulnerable, the thugs that had been at his throat since he arrived are completely disinterested in direct confrontation.
 * Gorn
 * Gratuitous Rape
 * Heroic BSOD: Inugami in 69, while.
 * Hikikomori: Inugami tries to become one but can't stand being cooped up in his house for days on end. Makes sense, wolves are social creatures.
 * Hoist By His Own Petard: The first Kuroda.
 * Hot for Student/Hot for Teacher: Aoshika seems to lean on Inugami a bit too much. Inugami, on the other hand, seems to come to school for no other reason than it makes her happy.
 * Human Shield: Used by Inugami.
 * Immune to Bullets: Inugami
 * Implied Love Interest: Aoshika is Inugami's and people have noticed.
 * In Love With Your Carnage: Ryuuko, whether it's Haguro, her boyfriend or Inugami, the protagonist. Ew.
 * topped himself after, with him fighting Inugami he got to , then Haguro , he fell in love with his own carnage.
 * Ineffectual Loner: Inugami, who is also Alone in A Crowd and really just wants to be accepted, but really doesn't know how to handle all the calamity that befalls all those around him. The latest arc has him trying to cut off all contact with humans whatsoever. But Mr. Tadokoro, who he brushed off as useless earlier, has proved helpful.
 * Insane Troll Logic/You Fail Logic Forever: Who misses the
 * Reaches new heights in chapter 65. The correct response is"You're insane, Haguro."
 * Interplay of Sex and Violence: This appears to be the author's "thing".
 * Pretty much everything that comes out of Ryuuko's mouth has to do with this trope.
 * Interspecies Romance: Any romantic relationship Inugami would have with pretty much any of the characters except.
 * In fact,.
 * It Gets Easier: Inugami says as much after killing some dogs and then a gangster.

 * Junior High: You wouldn't have guessed it seeing how some of these fifteen year olds look like.
 * Lack of Empathy: Haguro. Ryuuko has little and lusts after whoever seems to have even less than she does. Haguro is convinced Inugami is this as well.
 * Lunacy: Under new moon, Inugami is a Badass Normal. Under full moon, he can shake off a shotgun blast to the face.
 * It seems to affect his mood as well. He gets more emotional as the moon thins.
 * Meaningful Name: "Inugami" means "God of Dogs"
 * Moral Guardians:  got Wolf Guy canceled temporarily suspended from MangaFox and caused all of OneManga's mature series to be suspended pending further review.

 * Further update: Onemanga and 1000Manga are gone. For other motives, though. Follow it on mangafox instead.
 * Morality Pet: Aoshika, Chiba and Noriko Kimura are the only people that Inugami has taken a shine to. Maybe Todokuro too.
 * Morality Chain: Aoshika has "graduated" into this, as the prospect of her being in danger now drives Inugami crazy.
 * More Dakka:
 * Ms. Fanservice: Aoshika, indeed. Also, Ryuuko Konuma if she wasn't so bug fuck crazy.
 * Mugging the Monster: Healing aside, no one except for Aoshika seems to pick up on the fact that Inugami could kill pretty much everybody. Unfortunately, they have learned NOTHING.
 * Now they're TRYING to earn the monster's ire. Of course  might do it...
 * Murder Dot Com
 * Murder the Hypotenuse: "Murder" might be pushing it (for now), but Haguro does NOT take it well when Chiba briefly meets up with Inugami.
 * Played straight.
 * Possibly Ryuuko Konuma's motivation for beside, you know, avoiding ANOTHER beating. Heaven help
 * Neck Snap

 * Her Crowning Moment of Awesome was
 * Never My Fault: Goddamnit, Haguro.

 * One Winged Angel:
 * Our Werewolves Are Different: Obviously.
 * Out of Clothes Experience: Aoshika has one in chapter 50 when she had a back-to-nature experience when she sees a wolf (supposedly Inugami in his more "tame" form).

 * The Reason You Suck Speech: Inugami, to most people.

 * Shower Scene: Inugami has one, Aoshika has a lot more...
 * The Sociopath: Ryuuko Konuma, the Kurodas, Haguro.
 * Spoiled Brat: If Haguro wasn't so used to getting what he wants and having it his way, he MIGHT be able to get over Inugami. Seems to be Rich in Dollars Poor In Sense as well.
 * Spinoff Babies: Not that young, but this version of Wolf Guy is actually more closer to Adult Wolf Guy than to the original manga, the adult adventures of Inugami does contain much of the Darker and Edgier stuff that it's found in this version, except that here Inugami still is a teen.
 * Stay in The Kitchen: Inugami chides Noriko Kimura for daring to try and stand up to Haguro. Then again, Haguro would think nothing of having her shot and she is not Nigh Invulnerable like Inugami so he might just be concerned.

 * Taking the Bullet: Inugami. He can afford to.
