Wolf Girl and Black Prince

Wow this one was a tough one... but it did get better and actually had a ending that was quite a bit satisfying.

From wiki (and better than anything I could do):

"The story centers around Erika Shinohara, a 16-year-old girl who tells her friends tall tales about her romantic exploits, but she actually has no boyfriend. She says that a handsome boy in a candid photo is her boyfriend, but it turns out that boy is a schoolmate named Kyōya Sata. She has no choice but to make him her fake boyfriend. However, Sata may look like a sweet person, but he is actually an ultra-black-hearted sadist. Sata takes advantage of Erika's weakness and treats her like his dog"

And the last part is the key "treats her like his dog".

Sata is fucking BRUTAL at times... I mean kick a girl a in her twat and make her cry plain fucking evil. It was actually hard to watch as Sata just grinds up Erika over and over and over.. fuck I wanted to punch my t.v. I was so angry. Just like any abusive relationship (and fuck is it ever) Sata also does and says some pretty powerful and meaningful things to Erika.. maybe its his true feelings, maybe just to string her along, but man the mind fucks this dude comes up with can twist your mind. Turns out Sata has is simply repressing emotions from a broken home... but his family is pretty normal.. only he is twisted.. and eventually warms up a bit... a very little bit.

Its good story, and it swings from both sides: Sata crushing Erika with just pure evil acts, and also doing and saying some thing that would get my panties wet... if I wore panties, that is. So just be ready for the first 6 episodes to be painful to watch and marvel at how Ericka doesn't stick a knife in Sata's heart ala Saionji in School days (ha! fucking right, an anime reference in an anime review!)

I was reading some of the comments posted on youtube... I have to admit this anime does a good job at making want to support Erika... evidently I'm not the only one who really got sucked in by the story.. lots of people commented on the emotional brutality Erkia went through.

Sadly, I bet many Japanese women can relate to mental abuse Sata dished out.

I think that's a testament to the quality of the anime... it evoked such a deep reaction by so many people... and I bet there are many, many more people that feel the same way but just cannot express/post it. So yeah... its a very good anime but be ready for it.

Man I want to punch Sata in the throat. His sister could use a slap or three. His mom seems OK... from the two episodes she was in she seemed normal. There were few references to Sata's father... I bet 'Salaryman syndrome' is what ripped that family to shreds.
