Yukari’s point of view greatly contrasts with the second half of the story, which looks at Keita’s early adulthood. Although it features a fantastical premise, there’s potential for the story to connect with those who have similar real-life experiences. Her story takes a very grounded approach as it runs parallel to a parent’s reaction to their child having an illness or lifelong condition. Much of Yukari’s perspective is used to illustrate how she adapts to her son’s initial diagnosis and the everyday challenges of his wolf tendencies. It serves as a prologue to the real story and is done in the style of a casual autobiographical comic. The story is split into two parts, with the first half covering Yukari’s perspective of raising her young son with WWS. It follows a young mother named Yukari Umetani dealing with her son Keita’s WWS (Werewolf Syndrome) condition. There are a lot of stories I could write about in this feature, but I’ll turn my attention to a tale called Wolves Don’t Lie. As its title suggests, the majority of the stories revolve around mythical dragons, but a good number also feature mermaids, drawings that come to life, and a superpowered family like The Incredibles. Each story has one of two recurring themes and is set in a variety of settings and time periods. Seven Little Sons of the Dragon is a manga collection of seven fantasy short stories by artist Ryoko Kui – creator of the hit series Delicious in Dungeon.
