The Vampires is a manga by Osamu Tezuka about a man named Toppei and his little brother Chippei. They have the ability to turn into wolves, which is called being a vampire.

Tropes used in The Vampires (manga) include:

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In one scene, Tezuka tries to escape from Rokuro, yelling that he can't be killed, since he's the artist of the series.
Big Bad: Rokuro Mabe.
Call a Smeerp a Rabbit: The word "vampires" is used as a name for all the humans who can turn into animals. It's never explained why.
Creator Cameo: Osamu Tezuka himself is a main character.
Disney Acid Sequence: Rokuro's Villain Song.
Henpecked Husband: Poor Mr. Tezuka!
Involuntary Shapeshifting: Every vampire turns into some animal when subjected to some certain stimulus, which varies from vampire to vampire.
Reused Character Design: Look, it's Shusaku Ban! And Geta!
Self-Deprecation: Once Ruriko, another wolf-person, has left Toppei and Chippei, this exchange occurs:

Chippei: And why does she look like a fox and not a wolf?
Toppei: That's because Osamu Tezuka's a bad artist, Chippei.

Shout-Out: Rokuro Mabe consults the services of three witches to give him advice. They tell him that he's going to become a great ruler. Anyone who knows Macbeth will recognize them.
Take Over the World: Rokuro Mabe's final goal, as well as most of the vampires'.
The Masquerade
Villain Song: Rokuro's got one.
