オオカミ少女と黒王子 [Ōkami Shōjo to Kuro Ōji]

From 2011 to 2016, Shueisha published this 16-issue romantic comedy manga about a high school girl who, desperate to fit in with her friends, lies about having a boyfriend—only to blackmail a cold, handsome classmate into playing the part. The series is best known for creator Ayuko Hatta’s sharp, funny writing and her clean, expressive art, which turns a classic fake-dating premise into a genuinely charming exploration of pride, honesty, and young love. Its breezy, character-driven drama made it a standout in Shueisha’s shojo lineup of the 2010s.
