In our travels on the Japanese Market and Book-hop, we stopped at a small manga shop called, “Book Off” (I like how rude the name sounds). This is a kind of Crown Books for manga: most titles were a buck ($1) each! While waiting for one of us to pay, [livejournal.com profile] okojosan reached up, almost randomly (the graceful kanji on the spine caught her eye) and pulls down a book. She flips it open to find…wolf-guys!! Amazing bit of serendipity!

wolf guy!



I’m already hooked on this title (whatever it is). Near as I can tell, it seems like a cross between Quantum Leap and Heaven Can Wait: an angel/wolf-shifter appears to help people. I only have issues one and four, so it’s a bit hard to see a pattern.

In the fourth book, (as far as I can tell), the wolf-angel appears on the set of a film crew shooting a period piece with heroes and monsters. In fact, the story and characters are remarkably similar to my favorite obscure old Japanese hero show

By luck, they need another wolf-ninja because of an injury to a stuntman. Once the wolf-angel figures out what’s going on, he gets a little excited about being in a mooovie!

I’m an ACTOR now! (The other stuntman, in their fake heads, are disturbed by his realistic head and supernatural effects)

His big scene: Wolf-ninjas attack! (The stuntmen are further agitated by his exuberant acting)

His “costume” so impresses the director that he becomes the hero’s sidekick:

The series looks like enough fun (art-character-story) that I’m going to try and order it!
