Hello friends! Today’s Manga Review post is a little different because I’m not just reviewing one volume of a manga. I’m reviewing the entirety of That Wolf-Boy is Mine! by Yoko Nogiri, in one go.
Enjoy!
MONSTER MISCHIEF After some traumatic experiences, Komugi Kusunoki transferred from the city to start a new life in rural Hokkaido. But on her first day of school, the school heartthrob Yū Ōgami blurts out, “You smell good!” Despite the hijinks, Komugi tries to adjust to her new school, but it’s not long before she stumbles across Yū dozing off under a tree. When she attempts to wake him up, he transformed…into a wolf?! It turns out that Yū is one of many other eccentric boys in her class year–and she’s the only one who knows their secret…!
I found That Wolf-Boy is Mine on Instagram, and then read the volumes as soon as I could. I had only seen a snippet of the first chapter when I first came across this manga. When I started reading That Wolf-Boy is Mine, I didn’t really know what to expect to be honest.
The one thing that I did not like about this story was that there were the stereotypical girls who thought of the prettiest boys in school as property. This scene is admittedly a small part of the story. Yet that part takes up a huge part of the story, as it is one of Komugi’s insecurities — bullies and standing up to them.
Onto the parts that I liked and loved about That Wolf-Boy is Mine!
I generally enjoyed just about everything else that the story offered to be quite honest with you. I loved how the story progressed, regressed, and then progressed once again! I love the relationships that Komugi gains through friendships between her friends.
I adored the plot of the story, and I love love loved how the ending of That Wolf-Boy is Mine! came to be.
The only part of this story was the side story that was introduced to us. So I hope that if this story is ever re-visited by Nogiri, I hope everyone gets a happy ending.
I give That Wolf-Boy is Mine!, 4 stars.

Oh gosh, I haven’t read Fruit Basket. Should I? xD
Hmm, if I am remembering correctly, I think that That Wolf-Boy is Mine! is only about 4 chapters. So maybe it’s only a volume long?

I’m not sure? i watched the anime and read some of the manga (my goal this year to read it all! i own most of the volumes but never got around to it before Orz). i think it’s a really cute read and i think it’s even considered a classic shoujo series so if that sounds like something you’d like, i say go for it.
it looks pretty good considering it’s old and i think they’re doing something new with it soon? IDK if it’s like a new series or what, i briefly saw it on my tl a few weeks back ^^;;
it’s about a girl who ends up homeless after her mother dies and she sets up camp in the forest but it turns out that the land she’s using belongs to the souhmas and she happens to know one of them (i can’t remember if one or two) at school. also they turn into zodiac animals when she hugs them as she comes to find out xD then they all start living together and there’s drama and romance and life lessons and friendship, etc.
the manga is more detailed but the anime is cute as well 🙂
and nice, i think i’ll check this one out since it’s not too long!
