Wolf Guy- Wolfen Crest: …Make a Man Go *Whistles*…

No, don’t be mistaken. The main character of Wolf Guy does not have nice legs. If you don’t get the reference, stuff your head up your ass please.

Now now. Wolf Guy is about a main character Inugami, who happens to be, you guessed it- A werewolf. It’s a story with lots of violence and sex, just the way some people like it.

Inugami is anew student in his school, and immediately offends the school punks. By “punks”, I do not refer to school bullies who take your lunch money. I refer to the group of people who beats you half to death, whom everyone fears, the school staff dare not do a shit about and are related to the yakuza.

Naturally, he is beaten up real bad. But he’s a werewolf, right? He’s gonna claw their faces left right up down upside down inside out, right? Wrong. This one chooses not to. His wounds heal faster than I can say (RAH)² (AH)³ + [ROMA (1+MA)] + (GA)² + (OOH)(LA)², so he takes a passive approach and lets the punks beat the shit out of him FOC.

But apparently, the once cowardly student council is inspired by his “courage” and stands up against these bunch of pricks. Somehow they get the media’s attention and these guys stand down.

But these punks are constantly trying to outmaneuver the rest of the student body and well, shit happens.

What is interesting to read in this manga isn’t so much the blood and gore, but the crowd psychology that the students possess. If this were a real event, it would make an excellent case study for psychology students. (And of course scientific researchers seeking to prove the werewolf is real, but you know I’m not going to go there.)

I doubt this manga has matured much yet and hasn’t stabilized in plot, but if it does, I’ll be looking forward to see how the story unfolds. You should too.
