Synopsis

Erika Shinohara is a firm believer that in high school, one's life is decided in the first two months. This belief leads her to befriend Marin Tachibana and Aki Tezuka, two girls who exclusively talk about their boyfriends. Lacking a boyfriend, Erika is forced to make one up to fit in with her friends. She even goes so far as to take a not-so-discreet photo of a handsome young man on the street, hoping to pass him off as her boyfriend. Unfortunately, Erika's friends recognize the man in the photo as Kyouya Sata, a popular student. Realizing that she could be exposed as a liar, Erika seeks out Kyouya and proceeds to explain the situation.

At first, Kyouya's reaction seems too good to be true, but seconds after, he orders her to act like a dog. It is at this very moment that Erika realizes she has messed up, but anything for inclusion, right? Will Erika be able to handle the weight of her lies as she tries to find a way out of this masochistic relationship, or will she see Kyouya for more than what he shows?

So I was reading the other reviews before I started to write this. And well from what I saw, you might have gotten a really bad impression on this manga, huh?
But honestly people shouldn't judge it based on reading just a few chapters. Some of them rated this series even without getting to the part where the protagonists get together. So take my advice and read this. Its worth it a hundred times!
The manga in itself is just a cliché. But who hates cliché? I don't really. In fact I was caught off guard by many of the events even when expecting it. It might ...

Mixed Feelings

I am uncertain whether to give this manga a 6or 7. I decided on 6 because while I really like the ending enough to bump it up a bit, it still didn't make up for everything else. The manga is simply really basic (if anything to make it different, more abusive). It's a combination of typical archetypes and story arcs. It has the overnight hot springs chapter, the "are they cheating on each other?" chapter, the field trip chapter, heck even the area of their field trip is generic: Kyoto/Hokkaido, and other common scenes that you find in other manga. And nothing is done differently. ... That could slide if it was still a fun cute shoujo, but in addition, the main reason I wanted to give it a 6 was the characters. The whole review will basically be a critical view on the character because most everything else like the art nice but not amazing. For plot, just read the MAL description, it sums it up nicely enough to go in depth about it.
Before I start bashing the characters however. I gotta question the title, to the end I don't understand how she's a wolf girl. I had expected that to mean that she has the personality associated with one. But other than loyalty to Sata, not really. My second guess is that she is like a wolf in sheep's clothing type of person but other than lying about a boyfriend, also not really. My only guess now is that the author was trying to shift the animal to be a wolf, a type of dog, as oppose to straight up title her as a dog which would easily lead to the interpretation that she is a b****.
Shinohara Erika is your typical shounen character girl. She is extremely basic, and has little to none redeeming qualities that makes her any different from the model: an air-headed, gluttonous, happy go lucky with her heads in the clouds. As an added bonus thats not uncommon for the main female lead, she is also comes off as self centered, whiny, and a crybaby. It's questionable why most female leads seems to be this type, as if that's the standard for being a girl to be able of get a guy?? Do manga artists just believe that type to be the ideal woman, since no matter the type of guy is the lead is, that's usually the type the lead girl is??? Not only until the later chapters when the typical (and important) career counseling/college decisions arc came did I finally start to respect and appreciate Erika. I finally was able to connect with her as a character. For once she started acting more serious and mature, and maybe I'm biased because her decision is something along the same category of what I plan on pursuing (no spoilers!), I can really feel and empathize with her passion, and her as a person.
The main male lead Sata is not much better, some of his actions can be... eyebrow-raising. That's not an ok relationship. However you look at it, some of the stuff Sato say are not ok. I get Sato is trying to defend Erika and protect her but the things he say which are supposed to sound cool are actually quite misogynistic and/or patronizing. Think about it, in a real life situation would you really be happy and swoon over a boyfriend who says "[insert your name here] belongs to me. What she wants doesn't matter. Get my approval if you want her." and then later tell you "Don't ever concern yourself with another guy from now on. You only need to look at me" ... I'm sorry what? Excuse me? Going out with someone does not make you your significant's other possession to boss around like that. The stuff Sato say sound like what would be an abusive and manipulative relationship in real life. And again, like with Erika, I was a bit critical of him and only started really accepting him much later in the story. In his case, at the end of the university arc.
Don't get me wrong. I didn't read this manga hating the characters the whole time; there were plenty of sweet moments but that clashes with their words and actions to each other at other times which makes me question if it is really a good relationship.
Sanda, Erika's best friend is quite typical as well, being the cool, understanding, mature best friend that only exist to help progress the story and show the readers that Erika actually have friends (unlike some manga that doesn't really show the lead's friends at all.) Ironically, that typical best friend type is honestly whom I would rather have as the main character. Erika's other two girl friends seems to have been tossed out the window and are only reeled back in when needed to season the story. Nothing special about Kamiya either, a playboy who later sees the beauty of a real relationship after he friends Sata and Erika. And he orchestrates a large portion of their conflicts and misunderstanding.

I am amazed that this series has such a high average (currently ~7.8), considering it is one of the worst shoujo manga I have read. But, if you're like me, you'll read the series to the end because you're running out of lengthy shoujo and you keep hoping that it will improve.

It does improve a little...somewhere in the 30's. Up to that point I was astonished that a series could so blatantly promote blind, unwarranted devotion from a naive girl towards an abusive, sadistic guy. I read some of the fan's comments throughout the later chapters, and I was surprised to read ...
