Erika Shirohana, an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, is often jealous of her friends' boyfriends - so she lies about having one herself to be a part of the group. When her friends become suspicious of her having an actual boyfriend, she claims a handsome boy in the picture on her cellphone is her boyfriend (she actually just took a random picture of the guy on street).

The story gets interesting when said guy in the photo happens to be a classmate! And not just an average classmate, but the school prince, Sata Kyouya!

Overhearing the conversation, Kyouya proposes the idea of becoming fake lovers with Erika under one condition: becoming his dog.

''Okami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji'', roughly translated as "The Wolf Girl and The Black Prince", is a [[ShoujoDemographic shoujo]] manga by Ayuko Hatta, serialized in the monthly magazine ''Bessatsu Margaret'', wrapping up with 16 volumes and 58 chapters, not counting extras. An anime adaptation by TYO Productions aired during the Fall2014Anime season for a total of 12 episodes, with an OVA later bundled with one of the manga volumes.

The anime adaptation can be watched legally at Crunchyroll.

!!This manga provides examples of the following tropes:
* AccidentalKiss: [[spoiler: Kyouya]] and [[spoiler: Sanda]] have this once when a passerby knocks into [[spoiler: Kyouya]]. [[spoiler: Erika]] is so bothered by it that she spends the entire chapter DiggingHerselfDeeper.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Kyouya has shown on numerous occasions he's capable of being nice to Erika and ''does'' genuinely care for her.
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: Nine years after the story ends, Kyouya and Erika are married with a little girl named Yuina. Turns out the child had been conceived out of wedlock, which Kyouya isn't proud of and ''hates'' being reminded of]].
* BastardBoyfriend: Kyouya most definitely, even if it is just for appearance's sake. It still carries over even when [[spoiler: he and Erika [[RelationshipUpgrade start dating for real]]]], but it gradually disappears over the storyline. It entirely disappears by [[spoiler: their marriage]].
* TheBeard: TheSeries.
* BecomingTheMask: Despite all that's said and done, Erika begins to grow actual feelings for Kyouya. [[spoiler: Same for Kyouya later on, showing some [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Boy]] tendencies and eventually realizing that he really ''does'' like Erika]] later on in the manga.
* BerserkButton: Try anything even remotely romantic with Kyouya. Just ''[[TemptingFate try]]''. Chances are, you'll just piss [[SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids him]] off.
* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler: In the epilogue, Sanda mentions that she and Takeru started dating sometime after the main story, but they eventually broke it off and figured that they were fine the way they were.]]
* BigLittleBrother: Averted with Kyouya and Reika, who is about the same height as him, but played straight with Sanda and her little brother.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Oh, ''Kyouya''. Being the charming school prince doesn't excuse you for being an absolute piece of shit to Erika behind the scenes.
** [[spoiler: Terasaki]] as well. He initially appears as an average hopeless DoggedNiceGuy wanting to please his crush. [[spoiler: If anything, he would become a certified [[WouldHitAGirl domestic abuser to any girl he dates with]].]]
* [[GirlfriendInCanada Boyfriend In Canada]]: How Erika starts off the series. She constantly tells her friends and peers about relationship troubles with her boyfriend, who naturally doesn't actually exist.
* CareerVersusMan: [[spoiler: Near the end of the series, Erika is faced with this. She loves Kyouya, but she also loves glass-making and has the chance to go to a great school to further excel in it. She doesn't want to give up her boyfriend nor her potential career. Kyouya is not helping either, bluntly telling Erika that if she chooses to study glass-making, they'll have to break up. It takes Sanda's ArmorPiercingSlap to make him support her to going to Kyoto.]]
* ClassTrip: The film adaptation has one to Kobe that serves as its climax. In the manga itself, while Erika does visit Kobe, it's a personal trip (she accompanies Kyouya to visit his mother), while the actual class trip doesn't happen until much later, when Erika is in senior year, and the destination is [[SnowMeansLove Hokkaido]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: Erika doesn't take well to see Kyouya being touchy-feely with other girls, even accidentally (like with [[spoiler: Sanda]]). [[NotSoDifferent Likewise]], Kyouya can only tolerate exactly four guys to be close with Erika: her father, himself, Takeru, and Nozomi; everyone else is off-limits, and this is ''before'' [[spoiler: he falls in love with her for real]]. They, however, don't hold a candle to [[spoiler: Terasaki, who outright hits Erika to intimidate her to become his girlfriend.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Nozomi and Kimura are merged in the film adaptation as one character, being a "friend" to Kyouya and the jerk who dates Erika just to take revenge against him for having attracted his ex-girlfriend.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Who'd have thought that the photo Erika took one day turned out to be the [[{{Bishounen}} handsome mug]] of the school's hottest guy?
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown-haired Erika with dark brown eyes.
* DomesticAbuse: While no explicit physical abuse is initiated during the relationship, Kyouya does pinch Erika's cheeks, thump her on the forehead and humiliate her when they're alone. [[spoiler: It stops almost entirely after they start dating for real and are pretty much a normal couple after marriage.]]
* EpicFail: One of Kyouya's attempts to confess to Erika on her birthday turns into "I love your 'do."
* GeckoEnding: Both the anime and the film adaptation, as they are produced before the manga had its ending (though the film adaptation was in fact released roughly two weeks after the publication of the last chapter).
** The anime ends after the conclusion of [[spoiler: Erika and Kyouya's visit to the latter's mother in Kobe, with the final shot being their return to Tokyo.]] The manga still has a long way to go after that, but at least [[spoiler: the two are already dating for real.]]
** Meanwhile, the film adaptation chronologically ends very early in the manga's timeline but creates padding (Erika's inexplicable singing after she does Kyouya's housework being a notable example) and a new resolution to balance them out. [[spoiler: Specifically, it ends when Erika quits being the Wolf Girl in favor of a RelationshipUpgrade, but instead of being resolved quickly, it takes place while the school is in vacation, with the associated drama.]] This makes the film feel rather shallow than either the manga or anime, as [[spoiler: Kyouya doesn't get to show real affection for Erika, his confession looks as if it's made-up, and Erika actually ''loses'' her friends Marin and Tezuka, as unlike in the manga, they only tolerated Erika because they thought she had a genuine boyfriend.]]
* GenreSavvy: Rena knows she fits the definition of TheRival in a shoujo manga. This is why she formally challenges Erika.
* TheGhost: Kyoua's father is referenced a few times but never makes it onscreen.
* HypocriticalHumor: During Chapter 58.5, Erika and Kyouya are watching a segment about {{Bastard Boyfriend}}s that play with their girlfriends' feelings. Kyouya comments that he'd never want his daughter to end up with a man like that, even though [[spoiler: his daughter came into the world with that ''exact'' coupling in he and Erika]]. Even Erika has to hang a lampshade on that one.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Kusakabe willingly lets Erika go after he realizes that she is still pining after Kyouya. Also [[spoiler: Sanda, who in one side story is revealed to have had a crush on Kyouya, but keeps it to herself as she values her friendship with Erika more. Although, her crush dies quite a bit after learning of his true manipulative nature through Erica.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Kyouya, the one and only. Over time though, he morphs into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. It's more noticeable after he graduates high school.
* LetsWaitAWhile: A running gag in the manga is how whenever Erika and Kyouya try to consummate their relationship, something inevitably ''always'' interrupts them. (In order: hesitation, friends showing up, Erica's period and, later, Erica's dad suddenly calling because he wants her home, etc.) However, they do manage to finally do it [[spoiler: after finishing their finals. Before they do, Kyouya lampshades how they always get interrupted during attempted intimacy.]] This makes the series one of the few shoujo mangas to actually feature (or at least heavily imply) the lead couple having a sexual relationship.
* LongDistanceRelationship: [[spoiler: At the end of the series, Erika and Kyouya choose to settle down to this after the former's CareerVersusMan dilemma. They manage it well.]]
* LoveMartyr: Erika, after realizing that she's [[BecomingTheMask actually falling in love with Kyouya]].
* NotGoodWithRejection: Subverted with Rena, who initially seems like the typical ambitious love rival who will sabotage the protagonist through anything when they're rejected, [[spoiler: but it turns that she's perfectly fine with being rejected by Kyouya in favor of her cousin]]. This is not the case with [[spoiler: Terasaki, who after being rejected by Erika twice shows his true colors by slapping her.]]
* OneHeadTaller: Kyouya notably towers over Erika.
* OppositesAttract: Erika, a girl willing to do anything for love, and Kyouya, a boy willing to do anything to stay away from love. The attracting part comes [[spoiler: later, when Kyouya realizes that he ''does'' love Erika after all.]]
* OddFriendship: Erika and Sanda, Kyouya and Takeru.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In episode six of the anime Kusakabe delivers one to Kyouya after [[spoiler: he finds out about how Kyouya treats her.]]
--> [[spoiler:“It’s clear to me now. Shinohara’s wasted on you. I love Shinohara! I told her yesterday how I feel. I’m waiting to hear her response. I’m not especially good at anything, and I’m rather pathetic as men go in a lot of ways, but I’ll do everything I can to make her smile. That wouldn’t make sense to someone who only uses her to sate his superiority complex, I guess.”]]
* SecretRelationship: Inverse. Everyone thinks Erika and Kyouya are dating, but they're actually not. [[spoiler: At least, [[RelationshipUpgrade not until later.]]]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Takeru for Erika and Kyouya.
* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: Kyouya doesn't believe in romance. [[ForegoneConclusion Too bad he's the male lead in a shoujo manga.]]
* SolomonDivorce: After her divorce, Hitomi took Reika with her, while her husband took Kyouya.
* StealthPun: The café that Takeru, Erika and Kyouya go to is called "Canis lupus", which is the scientific classification for "wolf". Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
* TheyDo: [[spoiler:Not only do Kyouya and Erika get married, but they have a child and the audience gets to see some of the landmarks of the couple's relationship, just to cement it.]]
* ThirdWheel: Nozomi fears this when Takeru and Sanda get closer, feeling that with them and Kyouya and Erika dating, he'd be left out. This is coming from someone whose daily life consists of being TheCasanova. [[spoiler: While the two do date, they break up rather quickly.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: How Erika is expected to act for the price of being Kyouya's "girlfriend". She later willingly throws herself into the role.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: San often wonders why Erika is pursuing Kyouya. Even Erika found herself thinking that on multiple occasions.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Marin and Aki can be annoying at times and Erika mainly puts up with them at first just to have friends to hang out with. However, it's clear as the manga goes on that the two genuinely care for Erika, as best highlighted when [[spoiler: Erika reveals that Kyouya was a fake boyfriend when she first introduced him, yet they take it in stride]]. Not so in the film adaptation, though, as [[spoiler: the two quickly distance themselves from Erika the moment the facade breaks.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Compare Terasaki and Kasai, who are introduced together in chapter 39 as serve as hypotenuses for Kyouya and Erika, respectively. The two complicate the couple's relationship, but while [[spoiler: Kasai is fine with Kyouya choosing to continue date Erika and even make amends with her, Terasaki goes absolutely ''ballistic'' when Erika rejects his suggestion to break up with Kyouya and has to be restrained physically before he hurts her again. He never makes amends with any of them, either.]]
