Wolf Guy/Characters

Akira Inugami
The main character and one of the last remaining werewolves, Inugami has drifted through life on tides of misfortune, carrying a disdain for humanity and an uncanny ability to avoid death. He strikes up a bond with his new homeroom teacher, the kind and beautiful Ms. Aoshika, despite himself and what he's gone through. So, Inugami goes through the story facing characters that seem to lose themselves by his sheer presence, and trying to make sure that his bad luck doesn't rub off on on Ms. Aoishika.

Tropes that apply to Inugami:

 * Animal Motifs - Wolves. Yes, even when he's not on all fours.
 * Badass
 * Big Badass Wolf: Par for the course.

 * Hunk
 * Ineffectual Loner: He is also Alone in a Crowd and really just wants to be accepted, but doesn't know how to handle all the calamity that befalls all those around him.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Nice guy underneath it all, but he spares NO ONE the snark (Kimura calls him out on what she thinks is egotism) and is literally the unluckiest bastard walking. Don't believe me? Read chapter 66.

 * Last of His Kind: Subverted. He thinks he is, but it's revealed that

Akiko Aoshika
A troubled middle school teacher, who is saved by Inugami from a gang of thugs. She's somewhat nosey, more interested in proving herself right that Akira Inugami is a werewolf and less in that she's dealing with a werewolf, but is otherwise genuinely worried for her student's mental wellbeing. Concern turns into more complicated things, especially when their student-teacher relationship warps and she falls within range of Inugami's magnetism for mayhem.

Tropes that apply to Aoshika:

 * Badass Damsel: Eventually develops into this.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness: The most beautiful person in the manga and one of the few with a fully-functional moral compass.
 * Break the Cutie: A kind-hearted Hot Teacher in a Crapsack World? It'd be more surprising if it did NOT happen.
 * Broken Bird: Seems to have rape in her Backstory.
 * Bottle Fairy: Was introduced as one.
 * Christmas Cake: Although she was married once, but got divorced recently. She lampshades it in her drunken rambles before she meets Inugami.
 * Gag Boobs: Ms. Aoshika's so well-endowed it's almost silly.
 * Hot for Student
 * Hot Teacher: One of the most beautiful women in the whole series, if not THE prettiest.
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse: She believes that her body is the cause of all the bad things that happened to her.
 * Morality Chain: For Inugami.
 * Ms. Fanservice: We do see her taking showers a lot.
 * Fan Disservice: Seeing her in her lacy undies should be a reason to Squee.
 * Plucky Girl: After her rescue, and despite all of the horrific things that she has been through, Aoshika picks herself up and presses on. Wow.

Dou Haguro
The scariest ninth grader you'll ever meet. Son of a Yakuza, who develops a... fixation on Inugami sparked by their being near total opposites. Where Inugami is a deliberately passive physical monster that gains a Morality Pet, Haguro is a destructive human being that abuses those closest to him. As the story progresses, this contrast becomes more stark and he grows the more monstrous of the two. Which is his whole intention: to be a true monster. A werewolf around just means he'll have to kick it up a notch. Or twelve.


 * Animal Motifs - A hawk. Special mention goes to his eyes, which are black where they should be white.
 * Attention Whore: His motives are best summed up as "How the hell can I get that werewolf to look my way?!" And he persists in this behavior even when his resources would be better spent doing ANYTHING else.

 * Badass in a Nice Suit

 * Complete Monster:An In-Universe example, as it's his goal in life, and he's certainly succeeded in attaining it.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: Do NOT go near Inugami. You WILL regret it.
 * Creepy Monotone: Haguro seems to speak that way, initially at least.
 * Depraved Bisexual
 * Devil in Plain Sight - Subverted. Black sclera'd eyes, monstrous strength, emotionless carnage, but ultimately human and vulnerable as such.
 * Dissonant Serenity:
 * The Dreaded: Students have a massive Oh Crap moment when they hear he is coming back to school.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Subverted in one case. Haguro quickly figures out Inugami has at least one altruistic bone in his body and goes after Played straight in that he wants to be Inugami's Worthy Opponent but doesn't understand what would make Inugami think such a thing about someone.
 * Expy: Looks a bit like a younger and more emotionless version of Yujiro Hanma.
 * Gonk: Haguro looks damn near demonic.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: Arguably. Haguro was, without a doubt, the strongest and most feared teenager in the city... until Inugami showed up. Can't have that.

 * Broken Bird: See what repeated rapes from her dad and a pimp and living in a Crapsack World can do to a teenage girl: leave her broken and BATSHIT.

 * Death by Sex: Save for Haguro, the men who sleep with her are all dead. Including her rapist dad and the pimp..
