If it exists, someone dreams about it, and there will be a Light Novel or a manga about it and it’ll probably become an anime. This one features a hapless, earnest hero who’s deathly afraid of animals who, of course, ends up having to confront his fear. That fear is amplified when he goes to London and ends up discovering a secret society of half-animal werepeople who pass for humans most of the time. And of course, he has a romance with his biggest fear – a girl who transforms into a vicious dog! See the story design here?
