This latest installment in the series continues Erika and Kyoya's story. At this point Erika is determined to make Kyoya truly love her and misunderstandings abound. It's a little predictable as a shojo manga, but entertaining nonetheless.

At this point this series seems to be teaching women fake Alpha male BS and that they deserve to be abused. Why is this being published?

I did end up giving this volume a go despite a few things from the first volume not quite sitting right and I do feel like this volume was a little bit better!

I continue to love the art style, though the romance is a bit speedy so either something bad is going to happen to cause drama or it’s going to end up being a tad bit rushed.

This story continues to engage me! The art style is also soo cute and I can’t wait for volume 3! I’ve been hand-selling this a lot at work as well.

Erika is very conflicted over her relationship with Kyoya. She likes him, but is constantly getting mixed signals from him. Sometimes he is exasperating, sometimes his is aloof, and then sometimes he is quite charming and almost human! She is always feeling wrong-footed around him. And then when she is trying to get over him, he shows up and gives her a Christmas gift. What is she supposed to do? As a bonus, Ayuka Hatta provides a short story involving a clueless boy and girl who knows what she wants and takes it!

Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to read this title.

The newest installment was such a joy to read! She has confessed her feelings for him and he keeps trying to brush her off. I can’t wait to see what the next volume brings.

This series reminds me of Taming of The Shrew with its multiple interpretations of the central relationship. Is it toxic? Possibly. Is it that the two leads have very different ways of showing that they care about one another? Also possible. I don't blame anyone for looking at the male leads behavior and noping out, or screaming in your heart that the female lead needs better standards in men, but this is still an interesting read if you can handle the relationship dynamic.

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I really wanted to like this more, however, Kyoya, the main guy, is really getting on my nerves. I get that it's supposed to be a tsundere type, but he kind of takes it too far. In this one, he literally acts one way one moment and then laughs in the girls face to the point she can't take it. Then he comes in with a gift and it's all okay again? It honestly took me out of the whole story. I might give the 3rd one a chance, but if the guy lead keeps going down this path after that, I might not finish this series.

One thing I did like was the introduction of Kyoya's friend from middle school. He was my favorite part of this whole volume because he was a big himbo. I almost wished it would have turned in to a love triangle. His friend was funny, sweet, and supportive of Erika.

I'm on the fence with this one. I want to keep reading because I love the author's other manga Ima Koi, but this one takes tsundere a bit too extreme and less on the soft side for me.

These just keep getting better, and by better I really mean worse? I'm not sure what I mean. The toxicity is still strong with this "couple", and the MC's interest in such an absolute jerk makes absolutely no sense to me, but the heart wants what it wants I guess. The end was so bad by which I mean good by which I mean bad? I can't stop reading this series so please keep adding new volumes to Netgalley.

Wolf Girl and Black Prince began when Erika, tired of hearing her two classmates brag about their boyfriends, decided to make up a boyfriend. When the two girls pressured Erika to see a picture of this “boyfriend”, Erika took a picture of a random hot guy on the street. Unfortunately the guy is actually a student at her school and while he shows a princely attitude to his classmates has some big personality flaws. Erika quickly explained the situation to him and he reluctantly agrees to play along for a price. Erika must be his dog!

In volume 2, the couple run into Kyoya’s middle school friend. They stop and catch up at a diner. When the three part, Erika follows the fiend and asks for advice about Kyoya. The friend agrees to help her. Having help in her love/hate relationship with Kyoya gives Erika hope. With Christmas fast approaching can Erika reach his heart or has she already reached it and he wont’ admit it.

4/5

I’m so happy to be re-reading this series. There’s something so satisfying about an early 2010s romance story plot. (I love seeing the flip phones.)
This story still holds up for me. I appreciate how slow MMC is to change his ways. Erika is also a solid character and isn’t too whiny like some FMCs of that time. This makes me want to watch the anime again too.

I hope to be able to read all the next volumes~

*Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader digital copy of this book.

The protagonist needs someone to pretend to be her boyfriend, enter the pretty popular guy. Except he’s not so “nice” when it’s just the two of them. This series is turning into a cute romance and I love how Sata's insults and actions don't always appear to be what they seem. Yes he is an insufferable jerk but then he does things that counter what he'd previously said. Certainly a cute romance but in real life it would not be so cute. My favorite part of this book was the introduction of Sata's friend Takeru. I am certainly looking forward to more from this series.

Wolf Girl and Black Prince volume 2 continues the story of Erika and Kyoya's fake relationship and focuses on Erikas new feelings of love for Kyoya despite the way he treats her. The new alliance between Erika and Takeru and their attempts to get Kyoya to fall for Erika were fun to read and I enjoyed volume 2 even more than volume 1. Thank you VIZ Media and Netgalley for the advanced reading copy.

I enjoyed the first volume, but the second volume really didn't draw me in as much. It was half as long too, with a short story at the end.
