''Bloody Roar: The Fang'' is an obscure manga series adapted from the ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' video game series drawn by Maruyama Tomowo, and was originally published in Monthly Shonen Jump. The manga series featured a whole new cast of characters (a lot of them being [[{{Expy}} lookalikes of characters from the games]]), and a setting fairly distant from the games, but the core elements remain the same: There exist humans who are able to turn into beasts, who are known as zoanthropes, and the Tylon corporation is out to exploit their powers. In this setting: Mashiro Toba goes with a supernatural investigator, "Fang", to prevent any disasters relating to zoanthropes from occurring, including any further experiments by her professor, Hashiba, who had experimented on her in the first chapter. The plot gets more elaborate as the story goes on. There are two volumes available, with six chapters each.
