Alternative Title: Wolf Girl and Black Prince, オオカミ少女と黒王子
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Plot: (spoilers for ~3 episodes) Erika talks to her friends about boyfriends and romance, but in all her sixteen years she's never actually dated anyone. She thought her lies had reached a limit until one day she takes a surreptitious photo of a good looking guy she saw in town. She brags that he's her boyfriend, but it turns out that his name's Kyōya Sata and he goes to her school. She tells him what's going on and he offers to admit to her lie, but it turns out that under his sweet exterior he's actually a malicious sadist. Seizing Erika's weakness, he orders her to be his dog.

-------------------------------------
Boy was this show a difficult watch at first. She's miserable, her friends are assholes and Kyouya's was a dick. Until Kyouya's transition from dickhead to male-tsundere, the whole process was painful to watch. In a sense we're empathising with Erika and the show's been successful in that department. We get annoyed when her efforts seem futile and we get hopeful when Kyouya throws her a bone every now and again. The difference is that we're not hopelessly in love with this show like Erika is with Kyouya, so those painful experiences don't nearly make up for all the shit he throws at her. At least this all changes later on. He gets protective, her friends are less assholish (and overall don't matter anymore) and more often than not it's Kyouya who has to prove how serious their relationship is.
The show's done well to go without any real love triangles.
