My addiction!
Nina is our heroine of this shojo manga. She goes to visit
her uncle in the wealthy Ruberia from her home in Japan. But she is somehow
transformed into a luga, the secret race of wolfpeople who are slaves for
Ruberia. Nina is taken to live on the island where luga are kept until they are
old enough (or subdued enough) to join the rest of the luga as slaves. Upon
arriving on the island, which functions as both a prison and a school, she sees
how the luga are mistreated, and uses her karate skills to assault a guard who
tries to hit a pup. Accustomed to her freedom as a human, she can’t tolerate
the injustice of Ruberia’s treatment of luga and takes on a role as advocate
for the underdogs (pun!). She gains an ally in Gilles, the mysterious
prince-like character who recognizes her smell as human and provides her a
special perfume to hide her scent. And an enemy in Roy. The rebellious and
dangerous alpha who also knows her true identity, and has marked her (don’t yet
know what that means, but as his prey maybe?). Roy hasn’t given away her
secret, but he has so much resentment towards the humans that he’s not willing
to believe she’s any different. They are both possible love interests for Nina.
Personally, Roy is my favorite!
This manga is a must-read! There are only three volumes out
so far. I wish I’d found this later so I’d have more to devour! I think people
who like this will also like The Water God’s Bride. Similar heroines, both
thrown into new worlds, with two possible love interests and beautiful
illustration.
