Synopsis: The story centers around the young linguistic genius and university professor Testa. He is introduced by his senior, Sergeant Rossa, to the Allied Cryptanalysis Department. There, he is tasked to break the enemy werewolves' code, which the werewolves are using to encrypt their radio transmissions. Testa is astounded, as the only sound the encrypted code produces is the howling of a wolf. His research yields no results, and he resolves to capture a live werewolf for better cryptanalysis. After exhausting all possible means, he finally finds a female werewolf, Yonaga.

Side note: This is really short manga. Only three chapters, so it's not easy to put it on any scale. It probably works as it is meant to as a basis for an anime - but it doesn't mean that it's a success as a manga.
Art is okay but the story/ plot suffers mostly of the "timetable" or frame where it is supposed to fit in. That means pretty thin plot line and fast moving pace. Not my kind of plot developments at all. But as a short, it goes.
