Honestly, don't waste your time watching this shit. It's absolutely trash. Both the MCs are just annoying as hell. The portrayal of both the MCs is lain pathetic. Erika is shown as a girl who has no shame and is fine with constantly being verbally and emotionally abused by kyoya. You have to an absolute masochist to love this show. It's definitely not everybody's cup of tea.
They tried to show that everything Kyoya does, how he treats Erika, has a much deeper meaning behind it and he's not really the bad guy here, but at the end of the day, he's just a sadist who likes hurting people for pleasure. Erika has no self-respect and keeps on getting her heart broken by kyoka and yet returns to him as nothing happened. I failed to see the comedic aspect of the show. Maybe Erika returning back t…

I read the manga version few years ago but dropped it eventually because of how annoying the characters were - especially Erika.
I was actually surprised that it was adapted into anime. One day, I saw a video on youtube for "top best shoujo anime of all time" and this anime was included, so I decided to give it a try, which I regretted A LOT.
Before you watch this anime, please search and read the difference between S&M relationship and an abusive relationship - because there is a big difference.
Story: 1/10
What does this anime even want us to learn?
That it's okay to lie and let yourself be treated like an animal for the sake of getting along with your friends, because they will eventually like you?
That it's okay to lie and let the man you love, humiliate you and treat you like an anim…

Cliche. Average. Mediocre. Maybe even annoying.
It works if you like the typical shoujo where the female protagonist is a happy-go-lucky pushover and her main love interest is a complete jerk who always treats her like a subordinate toy he can order around- and let's not forget that she actually *likes* him for his sexist, jerk ways and bends over backwards to do whatever he wants.
I've never been a fan of such umbalanced relationships where the guy totally dominates over the girl.
The girl is your average shoujo heroine, the guy is a carbon copy of the extremely overdone, in-every-romance-anime "cold, bad boy who teases and is a jerk to the sweet/nice girl" male romantic interest that seems to be in every single anime I watch.
It was mediocre at best. It's basically a copy of every.…

To begin, you should all know that I hate anime where the female protagonist bends over backwards to gather whatever crumbs of affection a cold, asshole of a male lead deigns to toss her way (I'm looking at you Itazura na Kiss).
That being said, there are exceptions to every rule; and I guess I found mine in Ookami Shoujo to Kuroouji. Part of my fondness for this anime could be that there seems to be a shoujo anime drought going on. But I digress, so without further ado, let me review.
Ookami Shoujo to Kuroouji is a twelve episode romcom and a predictably predictable shoujo formula. But I wouldn't say that it's a bad thing.
The story begins with an intro to our heroine Shinohara Erika. A typical bubbly and dense heroine who dreams of experiencing the fabled "high school life". A wrench…

This show is now one of my favourites! Great characters, great story and funny!
I really loved the characters and how they all seemed to play of each other and complement each other. I found the female lead to be really relate-able with some realistic flaws. Overall that is something I enjoyed about the show, all of the characters had their flaws and it made them seem more believable.
On the romance side it is a kinda slow build especially if you're use to watching shows where one person falls instantly in love with other) but you can see when the characters start to change which was really nice to watch.
As far as the comedy goes, I was laughing a lot. A lot of the times I had been in similar situations and so it made it all the more funny.
Anyone you enjoys it should check out the mang…

Plot: 8/10
This is a romance anime, so of course it isn't expected to have a super complex and deep plot. I didn't find much wrong with the plot. It was simple and easy to follow, and they added a lot of comedy. The only thing I would say is that it is extremely cliche at times, and a few things were left unfinished, or not used enough.
Characters: 10/10
I looooooooved the characters. They were lovable, and you could understand them. There was also a use for every character.
Art: 8/10
There isn't much to say with the art, it is pretty average.
Sound: 10/10
I loved the voice acting. The way the characters voices would change so drastically according to there mood kept me laughing almost every episode. I found nothing wrong with the voice acting, they sounded like real people.

A pretty common complaint about romance anime is that the romance aspect – that is, the main attraction of the show – is slow to develop and the characters take an eternity to get together. Oftentimes, we have drama and comedy taking up screen time of what could be couples fawning over one another and going out on dates. To some people, that means that the bulk of a romance anime is filler, with the characters only getting together or confessing in the last few episodes – and sometimes, not even then! (Kimi ni Todoke, anyone?) Then came along Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji, where the main characters get together in the first episode – oh, no, wait, I'm mistaken. They're actually faking it. Sorry to get your hopes up! But wait, there's more. They do drop the faux couple act later on...it's just…

1/10 I was on episode 7 or 8, and I was ready to drop it. I just finished it up today, and to be honest, I didn't enjoy it one bit. It was really a difficult watch. I'm not too fond of the abusive nature of the main male character Kyouya, and the weak-willed personality of the female main, Erika. Actually, I didn't care for any of the characters in this show. The "teaching moments" in this show felt really forced.
Kyouya was made be Tsundere character, but, really, this guys shows no change at all - he's just a jerk, and I don't think anyone would take his BS for that amount of time. No matter what, Kyouya treats Erika like she's a possession, and is not only controlling, but hurts her over an over again, and doesn't seem to care, and she just accepts it keeps taking the abuse.
Sure, lov…

"She is my loyal dog" How would you feel if your 'boyfriend' said that about you? Well that is what Kyoya, the most popular boy at school, calls Erika. After lying about have a boyfriend to her friends, Erika asks Kyoya to be her 'boyfriend'. Thus the torture begins.
Story- This is show puts the RomCom genre's traditional story line in a shredder. This story is so original and unpredictable that you have to love it. It has few cliches and even fewer plot holes. The show will keep you laughing and screaming.
Art- The art does shine very well in this show. For an example, conversation. Multiple times during the show characters will talk as they walk. When this happens the background will show various shots of the setting. The character will show up with a vivid colored shadow. The color us…

Before watching this show, I'd recommend you Wiki-up on the term known as "Stockholm syndrome". It will help you understand the ultimate wrong aspect of this anime far better, but, unfortunately, it still won't ease the fact that this anime is completely and utterly average.
The story is really simple and there isn't much to it: the girl joins high school, wants to make friends, lies to them about having a boyfriend, turns out that her made-up boyfriend goes to same school with her and is quite popular, he for some reason agrees to go along with her charade and then their adventures begin. I can't say much for the story because there isn't any really. As a mainly character-driven series, the story is put-off into the sidelines and has trouble pacing itself over the episodes. At times, th…

This is your everyday shoujo romance anime. It starts off a bit different but in the middle, it turns to a romance anime about a boy who can't express his feelings properly and a girl who loves him.
It's got comedy and a full romance unlike Ao Haru Ride, for example. So you can expect a complete ending and if you're a romance anime fan who hates incomplete endings and that kinda stuff, this anime will be a good pick.
Story 8/10:
A girls asks a boy to be her pretend boyfriend and the boy in turn asks the girl to be his loyal dog. That's how it progresses for a couple episodes. Later in the series, they develop feelings for each other and the story goes on.
Art 8/10:
It's just what you'd expect of a shoujo romance anime. It's all in the clear. Good graphics and animation.

Damn I gotta say this anime surprised me.
So today I decided to take a break from hajime no ippo and my rewatch of eyeshield 21 and watch a short anime that would be you know easy to watch and enjoyable. And one of the best animes for that in my oppinion are slice of life / school / comedy animes. So while searching for a comedy anime I randomly came across Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji...and I gotta say I really enjoyed it more than I expected to as it was very easy to watch. But enough small talk let's jump into the review.
Art 9 / 10
I really enjoy this type of art and you could see the anime was made at a high quality. The characters were drawn as mostly generic / secondary characters but each one had a unique feature and you could easely tell them apart. The animation was fluid and s…

~generous note about how it's my first review and English isn't my native language~
I'm not really good with writing this kind of things, so let's see how will it go.
"Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji", also known as "Wolf Girl and Black Prince".
The story was told greatly. Nothing was missing. The great thing about it was that it isn't your typical shoujo/romance anime - it wasn't predictable and that's really what comes to liking. Although at the beginning I had problems with the romance/comedy that position has to offer - it's also not your usual humor (and romance) after all. The ending really satisfied me though.
As to art, I can't tell as a professional, because I'm none of that... although I really liked it. The characters' designs were great. Characters did not look similar.

Spoiler warning, just in case you didn't realize this was a shoujo anime:
Kyoya is an asshole. BUT ERIKA FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIM ANYWAY!!! I guess you figured this was coming, since it's a shoujo anime.
I know that there's a cross-cultural divide between myself (American) and the story (Japanese), but in no way is it romantic to allow yourself to be abused the way Kyoya abuses Erika. Not to mention that even if he's only treating her badly because he doesn't care about her, what's to say that he'll stop treating her badly when he actually comes to love her. He basically doesn't stop treating her badly, but he does stop treating her like a dog.
Abuse, turn off number one. Even mild abuse is abuse. She should have walked away sooner, but I guess if she'd walked away, this anime wouldn't ha…

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji was a very up and down experience for me. It is, to some degree, a story about romance and acceptance, presented in a more comedic manner.
Story - 6/10.
The story presented to us is a simple one. Our main character gets herself into a bit of a mess due to her compulsion to lie to gain friends, and this and that happens and she winds up with a frankly abhorrent guy who is essentially her 'owner'. A simple concept for a romance anime relatively well-executed, especially in the comedy aspect. Nothing ground-breaking, there was no real depth to the story, and any depth that was added into the story came off as a little shallow and contrived (for example, most of the flashbacks seemed to be trying to create a background just for the sake of it, as the story didn't re…

Ever heard of the phrase ‘don’t bite off more than you can chew?’ Figuratively speaking, if you get a plain girl aiming for that dream guy, then that’s more than what they can ask for. Meet Erika, the main female protagonist of this series who is exactly the plain girl. Then, we have the dream guy named Kyouya Sata. With those princely like looks, it’s no wonder every girl wants to be his girlfriend. However, this show isn’t about a perfect romantic get-away with these two. No, it’s far from that. Wolf Girl (Erika) and Black Prince (Sata) unites two characters in a story of drama, abuse, and teenage youth by two complete opposite strangers.
As a standard shoujo series, Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji (Wolf Girl and Black Prince) is pretty generic from the get-go. It takes place in a school lif…

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
Society can often exert pressures on everyday people, causing them to behave or act in a certain way. These may be small in scale, such as deciding what restaurant to eat at, or more grand, such as who to vote for in the next election. It's something that many people often experience, that inkling feeling of wanting to "fit in." This is just as true in relation to love. People love others for fun, while some may find solace in establishing a meaningful connection. In Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji, these societal pressures and loving ideas are tested, giving us an okay little anime.
STORY
Ookami Shoujo follows Erika, a young high school girl who, finding herself without any friends in her new class, makes up a lie. This lie leads her to Kyouya,…

A desire for acceptance is something that most of us can relate to, and at times that can drive us to certain extremes. It's a premise that is not necessarily unique, but for a shoujo series it actually is. The cliched trope of a spineless heroine and her tsundere love interest is all too common. However this series provides us with a slight variant; our main character is a compulsive liar with a penchant for emotional punishment (read: she's a masochist) that happens to, in a series of poor decisions and bad judgment, land herself a two-faced jerk who is content to treat her like a dog.
Originality is not this anime's forte, per se, but it is successful as a romantic comedy because it is uncommon. The two main leads seem initially very unlikeable, but if you accept the fact that they mut…

I've just finished watching this series . I felt that it was pretty short : , it would be better if there were more episodes . But overall i really liked this series ! And its one of my favourite Fall2014 anime . Ookami Shoujo is a really unpopular anime in Japan probably because of how Sata treats Erika in this series.
Sata gives off an impression of a 'Prince' , so happy and always being nice to people , never showing his unhappy side , which is so surreal . Sata treated her like a dog , in return for him acting as Erika's fake boyfriend. But slowly on in the series , Sata began to develop feelings for Erika . He said that Erika was really different from the other girls , because she likes him for who he is inside and outside , unlike other girls who just like him based on how hot he lo…

Demographics can be tricky thing to talk about when talking about anime. They aren't specific genres, but are more used for targeting specific groups of people. However, just because they are targeting a certain age group and/or gender doesn't mean those shows are limited to that group of people alone. But in Ookami Shoujo's case, I firmly believe it the vast majority of people who enjoy this show will be in the shoujo demographic, which is primarily why I found this show mediocre at best.
The shows first problem for me was came right off the bat. The basic premise of the show is Erika trying to remain friends with two students by lying that she has a boyfriend, because that her two "friends" basically only talk about their boyfriends. The thing is, those friends are absolute assholes, an…
