Tropes associated with this series

• Adoption-Induced Pregnancy: Mungchi’s owners treated him like their own son because they initially thought they’re infertile. But once they wind up pregnant, they don’t hesitate to dump Mungchi at the shelter like he was no different than a pet when they promised to cherish him like their own child. After Mungchi escapes and comes back to his owners, they have zero love for him at all and demand him to leave their lives forever. Is it any wonder this made Mungchi snap and go on a rampage?
• Big Bad: The Warden is the one responsible for all the suffering that the werewolves endure and the one Haru sees in his dreams.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Jeff Sunbae seems like a charming young man that the whole school admires, but once Hana dates him, it doesn’t take long for him to become extremely possessive and abusive towards her.
• Bittersweet Ending: The Warden is now dead and the werewolves that were sent to be slaughtered are now saved, finally given the freedoms they so desperately desired and now being treated as equals to humans but there still lingers bigotry. Unfortunately, it costed the lives of Haru, Hook, Choco, and many more to achieve it. Hana is eventually released from the hospital and taken home where she finds her old violin and decides to play it as a way to fulfill Haru’s final wish for her to play like she did when they were kids. While she’s playing she sees a projection of Haru in front of her, giving her final goodbye as Haru smiles at her.
• The Dog Bites Back: Near literal. After being forced to fight Choco to death while gloating over winning the bet on their fight, Hook calls out Jeff for being such a bastard, only to get beaten up by his owner. Hook finally has enough and kills Jeff with his own trophy.
• Hero Protagonist: Haru is the main protagonist and the one who ends up making the change needed for the werewolves freedom.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters:
  • In the main setting, werewolves are essentially made no different than slaves while most humans view them as pets at best or dangerous monsters at worst. A lot of bigots firmly believe the werewolves behave no different than dogs, shouldn't get any freedom, and deserve to get punished with their shock collars if they ever step out of line.
  • A lot of wealthy individuals secretly hold death matches with the werewolves just so they can enjoy the bloodbath and place bets. Every werewolf from the shelter ends up being forced to fight in the arenas.
  • At the end of the story, the full scales of the horrific abuse being inflicted on werewolves doesn't win over any sympathy from bigots. Even with laws passed to give werewolves more protection, there are still people who don't believe they deserve basic rights and firmly think the werewolves should be slaughtered because they're deemed dangerous.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Hana's dad forces Haru to be taken to the shelter because he didn't want the latter to become an Official Couple with his daughter, but is shocked when Hana's friends reveal what a hellhole the shelter is. Hana's dad forced to accept he's become too harsh on the couple and calls himself a Hypocrite for preaching over the rights of werewolves but ultimately treated Haru like an old toy to discard. He's especially heartbroken that Haru ends up murdered and destroyed his daughter's spirit as a result as well. Hana's dad got no one to blame but himself.
• The X of Y: The title has this structure.
