About the series
In Wolf Girl & Black Prince (2014–2017), published by Kurokawa, a high school girl's white lie about having a boyfriend spirals into a complicated arrangement when she convinces a cold, handsome classmate to pose as her partner—only to find herself trapped in a twisted dynamic where he treats her like a pet. This 16-issue shojo series, written and illustrated by Ayuko Hatta, stands out for its sharp, darkly comedic take on romance, blending obsessive devotion with genuine emotional growth. It's a memorable entry in the genre for its unflinching exploration of power imbalances in relationships, wrapped in polished, expressive art.
