7	''Wolf Guy - Wolfen Crest'' is a {{Seinen}} manga by Tabata Yoshiaki and Yugo Yuuki, the same guys behind ''Manga/{{Akumetsu}}'', which was serialized in ''Young Champion'' from 2007 to 2012. Like ''Akumetsu'', it's a pretty violent series with a mysterious male protagonist, though with a more supernatural bent.
8
9	According to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Guy TheOtherWiki]], however, ''Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest'' is actually one of the many remakes of a short shonen manga from TheSeventies, 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 a LighterAndSofter OAV series in the very early nineties, with famous seiyuu Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa voicing the male lead, Inugami Akira ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiMGvNIYC8U Here's the OP, by the way,]]). Yuuki and Tabata took the basic concept of the oldie manga and re-set it in modern times. The manga also had a live-action adaptation by Toho, with Godzilla director Jun Fukuda directing and Riichiro Manabe providing one of his best scores. An ''Adult Wolf Guy'' film was later made by Toei starring Sonny Chiba.
10
11	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, [[MeaningfulName 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'...
12
13	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 [[GoodThingYouCanHeal five minutes later.]] The gang leader decides to be more thorough and employs CarFu to take the boy down. This seems to work so they turn their attention to Ms. Aoshika, who is in the early stages of HeroicBSOD due to 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.
14
15	Flash-forward to the next day, where she is dropped off at the school by the police. By the way, guess who's her [[NewTransferStudent new transfer student?]]...
16
17	The series finished with 117 chapters, 12 collected Volumes.

19	----
20	!!This series contains examples of:
21	* AchillesHeel: For werewolves, the moon, obviously. Inugami's conscience even admits that the new moon is the ONLY reason he didn't [[spoiler:leave immediately to go find Aoshika in 69.]]
22	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys:
23	** Ryuuko and Haguro. Also, Ryuuko ''and'' Aoshika both want Inugami, though they differ in their reasoning. Aoshika wants him because, magnetism aside, he looks LonelyAtTheTop 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.
24	** Subverted later for Ryuuko, who although she loves ''watching'' horrible acts of violence, she's not into pain being done to ''her'' person. As such, after [[spoiler: Haguro ties her up and beats the shit out of her to later invoke DistressedDamsel on Inugami, only to change his mind later]], it would seem she and Haguro are growing apart.
25	%%* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Inugami. Having a conscience [[ChronicHeroSyndrome hurts.]]
26	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Chapter 97 has a ''several'' pages-long one from [[spoiler: Inugami]] to [[spoiler: Aoshika]].
27	** Eventually chapter 113 gives us the other side, [[spoiler:with Haguro's death giving closure to the arc, Aoshika murmurs in her mind that she loves Inugami, her very existence belongs to him; the sad part is that she couldn't say to him, as Inugami apparently vanished after the fight, on his death bet no less, his aunt even says he is dead already]].
28	* AnimalMotifs: 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 AnimalStereotypes.
29	* AnimalStereotypes: There's no other reason for the Kuroda brothers looking the way they do.
30	* ArtisticAge: 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 DawsonCasting if not for it being a manga with original characters.
31	* AttemptedRape: Several times. Poor Ms. Aoshika. [[RapeAsDrama Not so attempted]] in later chapters.
32	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Chiba. And it looks like he's shaping up to have CameBackWrong as well...]]
33	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Inugami.
34	* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Ryuuko was abused and raped by her dad and a pimp. Look where it got her.
35	* BerserkButton:
36	** Inugami becomes this for many people, specifically the Kurodas.
37	** For Inugami himself, referring to gangs as "a pack of wolves."
38	* BigBadWannabe: The Kurodas yet again. Also Haguro, though in his case, it's more like an evil ox wanting to be a dragon.
39	* BigDamnHeroes:
40	** Inugami arrives just in time to keep Kuroda from [[spoiler:busting caps in Vice President Kimura.]]
41	** Aoshika surprises Haguro at gun point when he was ready to [[spoiler:behead Inugami with his katana]].
42	* BishounenLine: [[spoiler: Were-Chiba crosses it in ch. 63]] when he becomes a monstrous ogre.
43	* BlatantLies: He's just wearing a very good wolf-head mask. Honest!
44	* BleedEmAndWeep: Aoshika [[spoiler: aims a gun at Haguro and threatens to shoot him if he doesn't leave Inugami alone. Actually, she does shot him - it doesn't work.]]
45	%%* BrainBleach: Keep some on hand, you [[{{Squick}} WILL]] need it.
46	* BreakTheCutie:
47	** The author and artist seem intent on destroying everyone Inugami doesn't hate. ''Specially'' poor [[spoiler: Aoshika]]
48	** Another mention goes to Noriko's friend and fellow student-council member, Yuki. Where's the former is a little neurotic from the get go, her friend starts off a very cheerful, outgoing personality, and seems to have a far more obvious crush on Inugami... [[spoiler:She ends up paralyzed from the waist down after Kuroda shoots her in the back, and the rest of her few appearances in the series all have her simply sitting silently in a wheelchair, staring at her knees.]]
49	* BreakTheHaughty: Haguro. Inverted in that it makes him ''[[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou haughtier.]]''
50	* BringMyBrownPants: Aoshika has a moment after glimpsing Inugami in all his splendor.
51	** The principal and the girl from the student council visibly pee themselves when [[spoiler:Kurota]] has them looking down the barrel of his gun.
52	%%* BrokenBird: Nearly every female in the series is one or becomes one.
53	* BullyingADragon: It's like [[TooDumbToLive everyone has a deathwish]] by trying to bully Inugami. In fact, his aunt insinuated that normal humans have a predisposition to [[FightMagnet 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.
54	* ButNotTooForeign: Inugami.
55	* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Were-Chiba]] is mentally unstable and incredibly powerful even during a very thin moon. Akira Jin initially wants to destroy him since he also had to deal with someone who Came Back Wrong, but decides not to since 1) he only wants to kill Haguro, 2) his mind is considerably stronger then Akira's blood recipient, and 3) it's really Inugami's problem. He promptly kills a bunch of people when he wrecks their cars to trap Haguro on a bridge.
56	* CantArgueWithElves: Inugami dislikes humans because he thinks [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters they are battle-happy idiots.]]
57	** Though later [[spoiler: after the school massacre]] he realizes that he really isn't any better.
58	* CartwrightCurse: Pretty much any woman around Inugami is doomed to suffer or die. Except Ryuuko, who's [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence damaged in]] [[InLoveWithYourCarnage a different way.]]
59	* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:The police arrive at Haguro's site in chapter 105]], but they can't break in right away due to Haguro's henchmen's unbelievable (''especially'' considering this is Japan) array of heavy weapons.
60	* TheCavalryArrivesLate: That said, [[spoiler:they came after Inugami had already stormed his way in to find Aoshika]], and is injured beyond belief while fighting against Haguro.
61	* TheChosenOne: Haguro seems to think he's this. [[FridgeHorror Digest that for a moment.]]
62	%%* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Inugami and DAMN, does Haguro make him suffer for it.
63	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: 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. It [[StalkerWithACrush didn't]] [[{{Yandere}} work]] with all he [[MoralEventHorizon does to anyone he thinks gets too close to Inugami.]]
64	* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: As Inugami figured, most of the students don't care that he saved them from their [[spoiler:gun-toting maniac of a classmate]]. Just that they got hurt in the process.
65	* CooldownHug: Aoshika freaks out when Inugami reaches her, being completely dumbfounded and incoherent thinking [[spoiler:she's dead or Inugami is just an illusion]]; Inugami gives her the heroic hug and Aoshika comes back to her senses.
66	%%* CrapsackWorld: This is not a happy place.
67	%%* CrazyJealousGuy: Haguro.
68	* CreepyChild: MANY. [[spoiler: Special shouts to Haguro, who beat up several adults with a sword at age 11. While recovering from bullet wounds.]]
69	* CreepyTwins: Some creepy-ass ugly ones in the case of the Kuroda brothers.
70	%%* CurbStompBattle: Anyone vs. Inugami. On both sides.
71	%%* DeadlyDodging: Inugami's preferred fighting style.
72	* DeathSeeker: Possibly Inugami, at least in the earlier chapters. When he goes to fight Chiba on the roof around chapter 30, he knows it's a new moon and seems pretty happy at the thought that being beaten up by Haguro's mooks without the advantage of a healing factor might kill him.
73	* DeclarationOfProtection: Inugami pretty much says this word for word in chapter 81 to Aoshika.
74	%%* DefiledForever: Happened twice in Aoshika's life time. Poor Aoshika.
75	%%* DissonantSerenity: Haguro and Ryuuko, frequently.
76	* DistressedDamsel:
77	%%** Poor Ms. Aoshika.
78	** Haguro tries to invoke this trope with Ryuuko, but she points out that Inugami isn't interested in her.
79	* TheDogBitesBack:
80	** Haguro, [[CameBackWrong Chiba]] has had it up to '''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge HERE]]''' with your bullshit.
81	** Chiba, Haguro has had it up to '''HERE''' with your [[spoiler: potential to wipe out mankind]].
82	* DoesntLikeGuns: 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.
83	** Don't use guns, use ''explosives!'' Eventually Haguro uses an [[GunPorn MGL-140]], a semi-automatic grenade launcher, thus committing the SECOND school shooting of the series. The attack hospitalizes Aoshika, and she later identifies him as the shooter.
84	** Inugami hates guns due to [[spoiler: the way his parents died.]]
85	* DoomMagnet: Inugami and to a comparatively lesser degree, Akira. They both visited the same psychic who pronounced doom on them; after Akira's visit she was hit by a car and after Inugami's visit ''a plane crashed into her house and killed her.'' That he sometimes brings it on himself [[WhatTheHellHero does not help.]]
86	* DysfunctionJunction: All the important characters have problems. Those who currently have ''manageable'' ones will soon have more piled on top of those.
87	%%* EnemyMine: Jin and Inugami, as of the last chapters.
88	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The [[LogicalFallacies leaps in logic]] that Haguro makes sometimes must be read to be believed. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he's [[RapeAsDrama getting]] [[NoKillLikeOverkill better.]]]]
89	* EvilCounterpart: Inugami and Aoshika vs Haguro and Konuma: a strong, [[InsufferableGenius proud young man]] who hangs around a [[CloserToEarth comparatively more sensible]], if [[BrokenBird broken young woman]]. While [[HeroicNeutral Inugami]] and Aoshika eventually rise above this, Haguro and [[UncannyValleyGirl Konuma]] never do.
90	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Played straight. [[spoiler: Chiba, whose hair ''grew'' (or he got a wig) after receiving a life-saving [[strike:candy]] blood transfusion from Inugami.]]
91	* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Ryuuko]] gets not [[spoiler: only tied up and [[ClothingDamage forcibly stripped]] by Haguro]], but also ''punched'' in the eye. [[spoiler: She's later seen with an EyepatchOfPower.]]
92	* FanDisservice: 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 BrainBleach!
93	** Ryuuko. Seeing her huge boobs after [[spoiler: Haguro slashes her shirt and bra]]? And then [[spoiler: he traces cuts down her bare breasts?]] Eeeeew, no. And this isn't one of her worst/lesser moments, either...
94	** When the readers finally get to see the lovely [[HotTeacher Akiko]] [[MoralityChain Aoshika]] in her lingerie, it is as she's [[spoiler:chained to a wall, visibly terrified, and about to go through a ''horrifying'' multi-chapter gang-rape sequence involving a full-on {{Yandere}}-mode Haguro Dou and his vicious {{yakuza}}]].
95	** There's a flashback to the aforementioned Aoshika in her younger years; she's as pretty as in the present and is wearing a SailorFuku with a very short skirt... but [[spoiler: she's also [[BrokenTears sobbing]] and [[ClothingDamage with her "fuku" blouse ripped]] since it's a memory of the day [[RapeAsDrama when she was raped]]]], and for worse [[spoiler: she remembers it ''as she's being gang-raped by Haguro and his yakuza''.]]
96	** A handsome and rugged-looking dude and a naked beauty hugging? Hot, and sometimes sweet. [[spoiler: A handsome and rugged-looking dude covered in both injuries and the blood of his enemies while giving a CooldownHug to a naked beauty who has been through lots of rape lately and has just broken down]]? More like both disturbing and heartbreaking.
97	%%* FantasticRacism: Inugami towards humans.
98	* {{Fingore}}:
99	** 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}}.
100	** [[spoiler:After Aoshika's release from her chains and during the Inugami vs. Haguro battle]], Haguro slices two of [[spoiler:Inugami's]] fingers off, and he ''eats them'' in an insane attempt to confirm Haguro is [[spoiler:a superior beast to Inugami]].
101	** It looks like [[spoiler: Haguro got four more of his fingers in chapter 109.]]
102	%%* FlashStep: Inugami under a full moon.
103	* ForcedToWatch: Inugami [[spoiler: was forced to watch Aoshika's horrific gang rape via video, helpless to save her.]]
104	* FromBadToWorse: Starting with Chapter 31. It's not a good sign when your readers [[NightmareSequence lose the ability to read your series at night.]]
105	%%* FromNobodyToNightmare: Kuro.
106	%%* GangBangers: They abound.
107	* GenerationXerox: After [[spoiler:Haguro's death]], Aoshika gets to know more about Inugami's past [[spoiler:(to get over his supposed death)]], his aunt tells Aoshika that [[spoiler:Tetsuya, her brother and Inugami's father, was a teacher at Standford and Lois, Inugami's mother, was Tetsuya's student]]. The werewolf student and human teacher love story had already happened before.
108	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Delivered by Aoshika to the local ButtMonkey when [[spoiler: he turns on Inugami after the shootout.]]
109	* GoodIsNotNice: Inugami rescues his teacher from baddies on the regular, gives hope to his oppressed fellow classmates and stops an AxCrazy [[spoiler:from gunning down the student body vice president at point-blank range.]] He is also a jerk to everyone.
110	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Inugami's tendency towards taking hits increases with his power, depending on the lunar phases.
111	** Under the full moon, he can and has take a shotgun to the face with literally no injury.
112	** 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.
113	* GovernmentConspiracy: Implied. [[spoiler: Whoever hunted down and slaughtered Inugami's parents managed to follow them to Alaska with a well-armed troop of soldiers and a tactical helicopter.]]
114	* {{Gorn}}: On certain pages, you can't even tell what's going on because there's just so much blood flying everywhere.
115	%%* GratuitousRape: Chapters 72 to 81 are infamous for this
116	* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Inugami is actually only half werewolf -- his father was apparently a human while his mother (who also has pointy ears) was a full-blooded werewolf]].
117	* HeroicBSOD: Inugami in 69, while [[spoiler: trying to convince himself that the girl being raped in a certain video isn't Aoshika]].
118	%%* HeroicBystander: [[spoiler: Mr. Tadakoro, Inugami's neighbor.]]
119	* HeroicSecondWind: Inugami pulls two consecutive ones after [[spoiler:Aoshika couldn't shoot Haguro at point blank]]:
120	** [[spoiler:Aoshika]] succumbed to fear when [[spoiler:Haguro just didn't care about her presence]] and kept on [[spoiler:hurting Inugami]], when [[spoiler:Haguro]] just got fed up off [[spoiler:Aoshika's half-assed threats he decided to kill her quickly then go back for Inugami]]. Then Inugami got some willpower to [[spoiler:deliver a can of whoop ass on Haguro, but then Haguro, being the monster he is, got back up and overthrew Inugami yet again]].
121	** With [[spoiler:Inugami being sliced into pieces by Haguro]], first by finishing off [[spoiler:Inugami's remaining fingers and later his whole left arm]], [[spoiler:Aoshika]] starts praying and [[spoiler:Inugami begins to think humans aren't that bad]], Haguro is the far end on monstruosity and Aoshika is, as he puts it, the sun of purity; [[spoiler:this new resolve forces Inugami to transform into a werewolf, a new white-furred form apparently, and ''finally kills'' Haguro with it]].
122	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: When [[spoiler:Inugami finally reaches Aoshika]] he has already killed dozens of [[spoiler:Haguro's goons]], and by [[spoiler:Inugami's]] own words he didn't care even in the slightest.
123	%%* HiddenHeartOfGold: Inugami may be a jerk, but not a super asshole either.
124	* {{Hikikomori}}: Inugami tries to become one but can't stand being cooped up in his house for days on end. Makes sense, [[FridgeBrilliance wolves are social creatures.]]
125	* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
126	%%** The first Kuroda.
127	%%** [[spoiler: Also, the second Kuroda.]]
128	** [[spoiler:Haguro is, ''finally'', killed]] by his own katana; he left the sword impaled on [[spoiler:Inugami's back just when the guy was about to pull]] another HeroicSecondWind, [[spoiler:Inugami transformed into a white-furred werewolf]] and threw himself at [[spoiler:Haguro in full force, thus impaling Haguro and ending his madness once for all]].
129	* HumansAreBastards: '''Haguro''' thinks he represents ''humanity''?
130	** Even more when you really think about it. [[spoiler: Chiba wouldn't have needed Inugami's blood if Haguro hadn't beaten him to death in the first place.]] Humanity creates their worst problems out of [[SevenDeadlySins anger, lust, pride and jealousy?]]
131	%%* HumanShield: Used by Inugami.
132	* IHaveYourWife: Or in this case, [[spoiler: "I Have Our Hot Teacher And Not Only Will I Have Her Gang-Raped Into Insanity, But I'll Release Copies Of This To The Internet And Ruin The Rest Of Her Life If You Don't Come Back To Me".]]
133	%%* ImmuneToBullets: Inugami [[spoiler: and by extension, Jin. And [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Chiba.]]]]
134	%%* ImpliedLoveInterest: Aoshika is Inugami's and people have noticed.
135	* InLoveWithYourCarnage:
136	** Ryuuko, whether it's Haguro, her boyfriend or Inugami, the protagonist. Ew.
137	** [[spoiler:And now Haguro is also in love with Inugami's carnage, to the point he refuses to believe Inugami even has the ''ability'' to [[LackOfEmpathy like normal people.]]]]
138	** [[spoiler:Haguro]] topped himself after [[spoiler:Aoshika got released from her chains]], with him fighting Inugami he got to [[spoiler:slice two of Inugami's fingers off]], then Haguro [[spoiler:''eats them'' and ''gets a boner'' for managing to injure Inugami]], he fell in love with ''his own'' carnage.
139	* IneffectualLoner: Inugami, who is also AloneInACrowd 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.
140	* InsaneTrollLogic: Who misses the [[spoiler: sane, emotionless Haguro?]]
141	** [[spoiler:Strangely, he doesn't make the connection that people don't tend to SEEK OUT the people who want to do them harm even if they can't actually harm them.]]
142	** Reaches new heights in chapter 65. The correct response is "[[YoureInsane You're insane]], Haguro."
143	* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: This appears to be the author's [[AuthorAppeal "thing".]]
144	** Pretty much everything that comes out of Ryuuko's mouth has to do with this trope. [[spoiler: Interestingly, Ryuuko and Haguro's latest coupling seems to imply she's not too keen on violence being done to ''her''.]]
145	** [[spoiler: Kuroda takes a break from blowing up stuff (and students) to try to rape the ''meganekko'' with his ''gun.'' Fortunately, Inugami interrupts him.]]
146	** [[spoiler: And Haguro decides to up his freakiness by kissing a battered Chiba, taking that opportunity to tear out his tongue, and then rape him. All because Inugami happened to run into him in the street earlier.]]
147	* InterspeciesRomance:
148	** Any romantic relationship Inugami would have with pretty much any of the characters except [[spoiler: the reporter, though that doesn't look very likely]].
149	** In fact, [[spoiler: Inugami is the product of one, as his mother was a werewolf, whereas his father was a regular human]].
150	* ISeeDeadPeople: In Chapter 92, [[spoiler: Haguro starts having hallucinations of Chiba and the Kurodas mocking him for how he can't kill Inugami despite having tons of subordinates and guard dogs at his disposal.]]
151	** [[spoiler:In chapter 93, he now sees everyone he killed or whose death came as a result of his actions, like the Principal of the school.]]
152	* ItGetsEasier: Inugami says as much after killing some dogs and then a gangster.
153	* JuniorHigh: You wouldn't have guessed it seeing how some of these [[YoungerThanTheyLook fifteen year olds look like]].
154	* LackOfEmpathy: Haguro. Ryuuko has little and lusts after whoever seems to have even less than she does. Haguro is convinced Inugami is this as well.
155	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: Chiba doesn't remember much these days, what with apparently dying and all. He does remember however, that he owes Inugami his life and that Haguro must suffer until his dying breath.]]
156	* LastOfHisKind: Subverted. [[spoiler: ThereIsAnother werewolf running around. It's Akira Jin, the reporter who won't leave Aoshika alone.]]
157	* LivingOnBorrowedTime:[[spoiler:Chiba. Jin mentions that's why he really didn't stop Chiba from chasing after Haguro.]]
158	* {{Lunacy}}: Under the new moon, Inugami is a BadassNormal. Under the 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.
159	* ManipulativeBastard: Haguro. [[spoiler: Manipulates the younger Kuroda into [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge going Columbine]] on half the student body out of vengeance against Inugami for his brother's death. Using weapons from his family gun cellar. [[MoralEventHorizon The kicker?]] His brother died because '''HAGURO''' pulled his life-support.]]
160	* MeaningfulName: ''"Inugami"'' means ''"God of Dogs"''
161	* MoralityChain: Aoshika has "graduated" into this, as the prospect of her being in danger now drives Inugami crazy. [[spoiler: Horrifyingly enough, Haguro not only knows, but actively seeks this result.]]
162	* MoralityPet: Aoshika, Chiba and Noriko Kimura are the only people that Inugami has taken a shine to. Maybe Todokuro too.
163	%%* MoreDakka: [[spoiler:Kuroda during his rampage. He even goes GunsAkimbo.]]
164	* MrFanservice: Akira gets his {{shirtless scene}}s.
165	%%* MsFanservice: Aoshika, indeed. Also, Ryuuko Konuma if she wasn't so [[AxCrazy bug]] [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence fuck]] [[NightmareFetishist crazy.]]
166	* MuggingTheMonster:
167	** Healing aside, no one except for Aoshika seems to pick up on the fact that Inugami could kill pretty much everybody. [[BullyingADragon Unfortunately, they have learned NOTHING.]]
168	** Now they're TRYING to earn the monster's ire. Of course [[spoiler: raping his girlfriend and MoralityChain]] might do it...
169	%%* MurderDotCom
170	* MurderTheHypotenuse:
171	** "Murder" might be pushing it (for now), but Haguro does NOT take it well when Chiba briefly meets up with Inugami.
172	** Played straight. [[spoiler: [[UnexplainedRecovery Chiba got better.]]]]
173	** Possibly Ryuuko Konuma's motivation for [[spoiler:selling out Aoshika to Haguro]] besides, you know, avoiding [[WouldHitAGirl ANOTHER]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating.]] Heaven help [[spoiler:Aoshika.]]
174	%%* NeckSnap
175	%%* NewTransferStudent
176	* NeutralFemale: Ms. Aoshika. Justified by the fact she is no ActionGirl and the people who come after Inugami [[AxCrazy are out of their minds.]] Her SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome was [[spoiler: attempting to standing up to '''[[AxCrazy Haguro]]''' of all people. While being just about to be raped by him, nevertheless.]]
177	%%* NeverMyFault: ''Goddamnit,'' Haguro.
178	* NiceGuy: Mr. Tadokoro, Ms. Aoshika's coworker. Aside from Inugami, Jin, and Chiba, he is the only other decent male in the whole comic.
179	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Hey Ryuuko, thanks for stabbing Akira during the New Moon, it just forced him to go over the limit and not be bound by the phases of the moon anymore.]]
180	%%* NobleDemon: Chiba[[spoiler:, pre-transformation.]]
181	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Usually delivered to Inugami. [[spoiler: And then delivered to Chiba.]]
182	* NonUniformUniform: Inugami first shows up wearing his old school's uniform because he didn't have the new one yet. He eventually gets one, but it's damaged in a fight, so he goes back to the old one.
183	* {{Nosebleed}}: Used unusually--it happens in response to [[spoiler: Aoshika's rape video]].
184	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Ryuuko says this to Inugami [[spoiler: mostly out of anger because he figures her out.]] [[spoiler: Haguro]] thinks he and Inugami aren't, barring species.
185	%%* NotSoStoic: Haguro, [[OhCrap after Inugami shows him his werewolf form]].
186	* NowLetMeCarryYou: [[spoiler: Part of Aoshika's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. When Inugami finally reaches her at Haguro's hideout, he is physically worn and torn. Though she is also physically and emotionally exhausted from hours of hideous gang-rape, Aoshika not only manages to pick herself up, but is ''also'' holding Inugami's weight as they make their way out.]]
187	%%* ObfuscatingStupidity: Absolutely NOBODY buys it, but Inugami.
188	* OhCrap:
189	** [[spoiler:When it finally dawns on Kuroda and Haguro that Inugami [[HalfHumanHybrid really isn't quite human.]]]]
190	** Everyone wears this face in Chapter 62 when they realized just how '''FUCKED''' they are [[spoiler: after Chiba goes OneWingedAngel.]] Even ''[[NightmareFetishist Ryuuko]]'' is stunned into horrified silence.
191	** Chapters 86 , when Inugami gets back up despite [[spoiler: being stabbed by Ryuuko during the new moon, and proceeds to demand the location of where Aoshika was being kept.]]
192	%%* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: CHIBA.]]
193	* OurMonstersAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Chiba. It's possible that the reason he became like that was because he died in the first place. Had he survived the surgery, its possible he would have remained part werewolf and not become an [[CameBackWrong ogre]] instead.]]
194	%%* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Obviously.
195	* OutOfClothesExperience: Aoshika has one in chapter 50 when she had a [[GreenAesop back-to-nature]] experience when she sees a wolf (supposedly Inugami in his more "tame" form).
196	* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: By the time Inugami finds [[spoiler:Aoshika, (chapter 97 for those who want to scream ''finally!'')]], he has lost blood walking, running, getting continuous showers of bullets, [[spoiler:especially one by a enraged Haguro with his Humvee loaded with ''turrets'']]; and ''losing more'' while trying to break [[spoiler:Aoshika's chains]]. To hit the point home, Inugami ''does not'' have his full powers at all during this massacre, only enough to keep him stanting, healing not included!
197	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ogre-Chiba and the werewolves since it's their blood that brings 'em back wrong.
198	* PietaPlagiarism: Used in the cover of [[http://www.mrsmanga.com/Wolf_Guy_-_Req_by_Mihock/009.018/1 volume 2.]] A more sensual NSFW version [[http://www.mrsmanga.com/Wolf_Guy_-_Req_by_Mihock/074/6 here.]]
199	* PleaseIWillDoAnything:
200	** While being ForcedToWatch [[spoiler: Aoshika's rape]] Inugami is reduced to ''begging'' Haguro to let her go, and that he'll do anything. And, of course, Haguro wants to see Inugami transform into a werewolf - which is the ONE thing that Inugami ''can't'' do at the moment because it's a new moon. Inugami tries his hardest to transform, but with [[HopeSpot no use.]]
201	** Haguro gets a power up by [[spoiler:''[[ImAHumanitarian eating Inugami's severed fingers.]]'']]
202	%%* PowerBornOfMadness: Haguro is much more dangerous than a normal human should be.
203	* ThePowerOfBlood: Chiba [[spoiler:becomes some sort of troll or ogre after getting a blood transfusion from Inugami]].
204	* PowerOfLove: More or less, Inugami was able to [[spoiler:transform into a white wolf during the new moon because of Aoshika.]]
205	* PsychoSerum: Apparently, as if having her [[spoiler:gang-raped isn't enough,]] Haguro has forcibly given Aoshika one of these to break her even further.
206	* QuitYourWhining: In chapter 69, Inugami, or more accurately, his conscience admits that Haguro could just be screwing with him for giggles. He then tells himself to nut up and save her anyway, because [[TeacherStudentRomance whatever his thoughts on her are,]] she shouldn't have to die for him.
207	* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler: Aoshika was raped as a highschool student]]. Ryuuko too, but she doesn't appear to care that she was raped anymore.
208	* RapeAsDrama:
209	%%** [[spoiler: Poor Chiba...]]
210	** [[spoiler: Chapters 70-81 are basically one huge extended rape scene for Aoshika...]]
211	%%* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Inugami, to most people.
212	%%* RescueRomance: This is one reason why Aoshika has a crush on Inugami.
213	* RoaringRampageOfRescue: After [[spoiler: Inugami finally admitted to himself that he was in love Aoshika and told her that he would protect her no matter what]], no force on God's green earth was going to stop him.
214	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:
215	%%** Chiba is enjoying [[BackFromTheDead being alive again]] a bit too much...
216	** Later [[spoiler:Inagami]] goes through one himself and starts killing Haguro's goons left and right.
217	* SanitySlippage: Haguro has been going downhill for quite a while now. [[spoiler:He's started to hallucinate about Chiba]].
218	* SayMyName: ''INUGAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!'' ''CHIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!'' all said by Haguro.
219	* SexEqualsDeath: Apparently sleeping with Ryuuko Konuma will drain you of your will to live if you are not Badass enough.
220	* ShamingTheMob: Was Aoshika's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in volume five when she tells the surviving students off when they verbally attack Inugami. She even backhands one of them.
221	* ShootTheDog: At one point, Inugami kills a [[spoiler:lion, which escaped from a zoo,]] to save Aoshika.
222	%%* ShowerScene: [[MrFanservice Inugami has one,]] [[MsFanservice Aoshika has a lot more...]]
223	%%* TheSociopath: Ryuuko Konuma, the Kurodas, Haguro.
224	* SpoiledBrat: 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 RichInDollarsPoorInSense as well.
225	* SpinoffBabies: Not ''that'' young, but this version of Wolf Guy is actually closer to ''Adult Wolf Guy'' than to the original manga. The adult adventures of Inugami do contain much of the DarkerAndEdgier stuff that's found in this version, except that here Inugami is still a teen.
226	* StayInTheKitchen: 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 NighInvulnerable like Inugami so he might just be concerned.
227	* StudentCouncilPresident: Noriko Kimura is the vice-president.
228	%%* StuffBlowingUp
229	%%* SuperhumanTransfusion
230	* SuperSenses: After [[spoiler:Haguro ate two of Inugami's fingers]], he started to develop some super human abilities right away, such as [[spoiler:being able to see better in the dark]] and [[spoiler:able to trail Inugami's blood like it was highlighted by luminol]].
231	%%* TakingTheBullet: Inugami. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal He can afford to.]]
232	* TattooedCrook: Haguro has the prerequisite yakuza tattoo, and so do his subordinates.
233	* TeacherStudentRomance: [[HotTeacher Aoshika]] seems to lean on Inugami a bit too much. [[spoiler: Confirmed. She is visibly disturbed by it.]] Inugami, on the other hand, seems to come to school solely because it makes Aoshika happy. [[spoiler:Ryuuko confirms Inugami's feelings for Aoshika-sensei. Haguro is NOT [[CrazyJealousGuy pleased.]]]] [[spoiler: Inugami confirms it as well, whilst having a [[HeroicBSOD nervous breakdown.]]]] Also a case of [[spoiler: GenerationXerox. See below.]]
234	* TechnicalPacifist: Subverted. To Inugami, fighting the waves of gangs that are sent against him would be acknowledging that they are worth beating up and can actually can hurt him. The only time he seems interested in fighting is in the defense of someone else.
235	%%* TeensAreMonsters
236	* TemptingFate: Inugami is a DoomMagnet but he's so arrogant that sometimes he's just asking for it.
237	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
238	** [[spoiler: Kuroda uses pretty much everything he could carry from Haguro's family's gun cellar against the student body.]]
239	** A meta example: Eighteen chapters of [[spoiler:rape]]? Was it necessary?
240	* TongueSuicide: [[spoiler:Aoshika]] bit her tongue in an attempt to kill herself while she was [[spoiler:being gang-raped by Haguro's goons]]. She was stopped before she can go too far, however.
241	%%* TongueTrauma: [[spoiler:Oh GOD, Chiba!]]
242	%%* TouchOfTheMonster: Invoked on the Volume 2 cover.
243	%%* TroubledButCute: Inugami.
244	%%* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Egads. ThereAreNoTherapists in this series, are there?
245	* TwoTeacherSchool: Aside from one of her co-workers, the school seems to consist of Aoshika, the principal, and the vice principal.
246	* UnholyMatrimony: While not married, Haguro and Ryuuko take the trope and crank it...
247	* VillainousBreakDown: Even after breaking down way back when Inugami transformed in front of him, Haguro went loose when [[spoiler:Inugami managed to kill many of his henchmen and breaking Aoshika off her chains, while fighting a weakened Inugami and managing to really injure him for the first time ever]], Haguro has an extensive flashback of the time he and Inugami first met and couldn't do shit against him, but now that [[spoiler:Haguro got to slice two of Inugami's fingers off, Haguro lost his mind in pure insane joy by ''eating the fingers he just cut off'', and then cries because while he enjoys the possibility of Inugami being defeated, Haguro also lost the image his invincible "idol"]].
248	* VillainousValour: [[spoiler: Haguro managed to behead Ogre-Chiba after he snapped out from his VillainousBreakdown]].
249	%%* WackyHomeroom: If by "wacky" you mean "totally fucked up"...
250	%%* WarriorPoet: Inugami all the way.
251	* WeirdnessCensor: Ms. Aoshika is really good at rationalizing, even after seeing Inugami's true form.
252	* WhatTheHellHero: Many people point out to Inugami that he could do much better in life.
253	** Delivered by Aoshika to [[spoiler: her surviving students.]]
254	** Even Ryuuko gets one, [[JerkAssHasAPoint when she tells Inugami that if he just shut his trap, he'd have less trouble.]]
255	* WorthyOpponent: Chiba the boxer is the only member of Haguro's gang that Inugami respects. Haguro, on the other hand, desperately ''wants'' Inugami to see him as this.
256	%%* WouldHitAGirl: Haguro, obviously, not that that's a surprise.
257	* WrongGenreSavvy: Haguro is right about Inugami being a monster. He is not right about him having a monstrous personality to boot.
258	%%* {{Yakuza}}: Haguro Dou's the son of one. As if they needed another reason why he's scary.
259	* {{Yandere}}:
260	** Ryuuko. Holy shit, no fanservice from this chick will ''ever'' make up for the sheer batshit crazy she has on for dangerous men.
261	** And now Haguro is yandere for Inugami. Yandere times a thousand. Times a ''million''. If you thought Ryuuko was crazy, she's got '''nothing''' on Haguro.
262	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Inugami, Haguro, Ryuuko and Chiba all look older than they should.
263	%%* YouMonster
