I cannot believe that Viz, with all that WSJ money at their disposal and so many shojo titles under their umbrella to choose from, decided to spend their resources on digging up this twelve-year-old turd of a title.
WOLF GIRL AND BLACK PRINCE (Okami Shojo to Kuro Ojo), by Ayuko Hatta. First published in 2011 and first published in North America in 2023.
PLOT:
Erika wanted to be cool and make lots of friends in high school. Instead of seeking out like-minded people and being herself, though, she chose to hang out with trendy girls and lie about having a boyfriend so she had something to talk about with them. She ends up taking a picture of a random handsome boy on the street as part of her charade. This boy turns out to be Kyoya Sata, who is idolized by the other girls in her grade. He's willing to help Erika keep up her pretense...at a cost. He'll play the role of her boyfriend, but in return she must serve as his dog, always at his beck and call.
