Wolfsmund (originally 狼�� 〜ヴォルフスムント〜, or Ookami no Kuchi: Wolfsmund) is a 2009–2016 medieval Historical Fiction seinen manga by Mitsuhisa Kuji, of whom little is known except that she is a talented female artist born in 1978 who studied under two of the biggest names in manga art, Kentaro Miura (Berserk) and Kaoru Mori (A Bride's Story, Emma: A Victorian Romance). Kuji's art style and interest in the real-world setting both take more strongly after Mori's, but at the same time the gruesome content and grim tone are comparable to Miura's.Between Switzerland and Italy, there is the St. Gotthard Pass. It is the early 14th century and those who wish to flee the rule of the Austrian Habsburgs must go through this pass. However, it is not called "The Wolf's Maw" for no reason, as it is overseen by a cruel governor who follows the law with a steel fist. These are the tragedies of men and women who sought passage through Wolfsmund.The manga plays fast and loose with real-life events and characters, focusing less on being an accurate retelling of history, and more on trying to present a thrilling story. Still, the author has Shown Their Work on the early 1300s setting by offering a refreshingly realistic depiction of various aspects of the medieval world such as politics, architecture, clothing, weapons, armor, archery, and sword fighting.For some other medieval and fantasy manga with elements of realism, try Knights, Maria the Virgin Witch, and Berserk. | |

Dirty Coward: Wolfram himself is revealed to be this when he abandons his own men when the fighting goes south, his own Dragon stating his disgust at his master's actions. It shows again when he's about to be executed, despite subjecting countless people to horrific ends, he goes out sobbing that putting him to death is unjust. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: It's usually a coin flip if the main character of a story will be breathing by the end after their encounter with Wolfram. Wolfram himself quite horrifically discovers that he does NOT have Joker Immunity. And by the end of the story, every named character except Dukes Frederick and Leopold (who, being historical domain characters, are Saved by Canon) is dead. | |

But the final surprise Wolfram had prepared for those seeking to corner him is himself being a skilled, dangerous fighter. That surprise claims Hilde's life. | |

Sins of Our Fathers | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_1adcd502 | comment |
The Hapsburgs in general. They heavily tax their subjects to fund their wars and rarely show mercy for those who defy them. While not mentioned, this part also has a Sins of Our Fathers component, as the heavy taxation started with Rudolf, Leopold's and Frederick's grandfather note Under the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the three forest cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden had gained the Reichsfreiheit, the first two because the Holy Roman Emperors wanted to place the strategically important St. Gotthard Pass under their direct control. For Unterwalden, most of its territory belonged to reichsfrei monasteries. When Rudolf was elected king of Germany in Oct 1273, he also became the direct liege lord of these reichsfrei regions. He instituted a strict rule and raised taxes to finance wars and further territorial acquisitions for his ambitions to become Holy Roman Emperor. This policy continued under Rudolf's son Albert; since neither father nor son succeeded in becoming emperor, the high taxes remained. By the time Albert was assassinated in May 1308, the cantons had endured for nearly 35 years, with Albert putting down rebellions during his reign.. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Downplayed, as you have to be really into The Late Middle Ages to notice, but some forms of costumes, arms, and armor that didn't appear until the late 14th century are depicted in the early 14th century setting, and there's a few 15th century outliers like sallet helmets and the Lucerne hammer. The cranequin device that William Tell uses to span his crossbow wasn't invented until after 1400. A straighter example will be the great authority Wolfram exercised over the Swiss as an Austrian official. It would be more fitting for Wolfram to display such authority if he had been serving under Leopold's grandfather Rudolf. The Pontifical Swiss Guard was only established in Jan 1506; the first contingent of 150 soldiers set off on march to Rome in September 1505. | |

Set Swords to "Stun" | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_259dd888 | comment |
Set Swords to "Stun": Plays with and possibly Justifies the use of this trope. Some of Wolfram's knights find Johanna escaping through the castle, and—remembering that they're not supposed to kill her—decide to grip their swords by the blade and beat her unconscious with their hilts. Shown Their Work, as this is a legit technique from German Longsword called mordhau. | |

Mauve Shirt: The story is full of these, though the vast majority of them do die. Which makes Johann, a very Naïve Newcomer who is introduced the chapter after Wolfram's death, rather impressive as he is one of the very few named heroic characters to survive until the very end, despite the fact that his introduction reveals that he essentially chickened out during the siege of Wolfsmund after getting his hands burned too by his incinerated shield to hold a weapon. | |

Worf Had the Flu: Berchtold's introduction to the story sees him being handily defeated by Georg. However, as the book continues it becomes clear this is more an indication of Georg's skill than Berchtold's weakness, with Berchtold decimating every other fighter that crosses paths with him. | |

Among them were Albert II (their father was Albert I) and Otto, who were co-dukes of Austria after Frederick died in Jan 1330.

Bad Boss: The Hapsburgs in general, though working for Wolfram can really suck. Delay telling him bad news, and you're likely gonna get defenestrated. Best case scenario, he'll force you to work in the freezing Alps until your death. Aside from being clever in designing defenses and traps for his castle, Wolfram is a rather uninspiring military commander, more interested in keeping himself alive than leading his men effectively. When one of his soldiers suggests surrendering to the Swiss rebels, Wolfram throws him out of the window. | |

Morton's Fork: Many of Wolfram's victims fall into these situations, where options both leave possibility of being caught as a suspicious traveler. Cedar and Juwel in Wolfram's strip search. Cedar willingly letting the guards check her daughter would have Wolfram stop her for not caring enough for her daughter. Cedar resisting the notion could end with Wolfram apprehending them for resisting authorities. Hedwig and Wilhelm in the short sword choice. Wolfram never specified the direction of the sword that would select the victim, so if the option was unfavorable, he would simply reverse the pointer to his intended target. | |

Broken Tears: The last we see of Duke Leopold, his dreams have crumbled, his army is lost, and his family is on the back foot against their rivals. He's left shivering by a fire, weeping in frustration and feebly swearing revenge. Neither he nor his family will get that chance. Politically, the Hapsburgs' rivals within the Holy Roman Empire kept them busy; militarily, the next time the Swiss faced the Hapsburgs in a big battle (Battle of Sempach, 1386), they again handed the Hapsburgs their asses, even killing, among others, the Duke of Austria Leopold III (who's Leopold's nephew). Two centuries on, they would face and be preoccupied by a new rival: the Ottomans. Everyone seem to break into tears upon Wolfram's well-deserved execution. | |

Snow Means Death | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_55180ce | comment |
Snow Means Death: The Alps have been killing people for millennia, and this manga is no exception. William and Walter Tell make a dangerous ascent over the Alps in hopes of bypassing the Wolfmund, only to discover that Wolfram has fortified the high passes as well as the low. William doesn't survive. Those same Hapsburg soldiers are abandoned to freeze to death in their forts after the Wolfsmund falls, cutting off their supplies. They are among the last people to die on-page. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The manga gets a lot of visual design and tactical details very right, but a lot of the specific locations and events are invented for Rule of Drama. Wolfram's depravity can be interpreted as a representation of Austrian cruelty in the Swiss cantons. However, stories of Albert I's (father of Leopold and Frederick) cruelty and oppression in the Swiss cantons (cf. William Tell) did not appear until the 16th century, and are now regarded as legendary. While he is a hard, stern man, Albert had a keen sense of justice when his own interests were not involved. Serfs, whose wrongs seldom attracted notice in an age indifferent to the claims of common humanity, found a friend in this severe monarch, and he protected even the despised and persecuted Jews. The Wolf's Maw keep that blocks the (very real) St. Gotthard Pass (where most of the action takes place for the first 2/3 of the series) never existed, and in any case bears more conceptual resemblance to Tokugawa-era Japanese sekisho than anything European. The associated folk legend of the Devil's Bridge is real, but anachronistic, first recorded in the 18th century and believed to have arisen at most two centuries earlier. William Tell gets a Death by Adaptation during a dangerous climb with his son to bypass the Wolf's Maw. According to Aegidius Tschudi's version of the legend (written in the 1570s), Tell is said to have died trying to rescue a child from drowning in 1354, decades after the manga's ending following the Battle of Morgarten (which Tschudi says Tell also took part in). Historically, the Battle of Morgarten was indeed a major setback for the Hapsburgs, but it did not crush Fredrick's imperial ambitions. Indeed, Frederick's cause actually continued to do well for several years, until the Battle of Mühldorf (see below). | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted in chapter 3. In a desperate attempt to escape from Wolfram, who intercepted them in the mountains, Wilhelm and Walter are in peril. Walter is clinging to the ledge with his ice axe, and his father is dangling over the abyss by the rope connecting them. Wilhelm tells Walter to cut the rope and escape, and when Walter refuses he begins to cut it himself. However, seeing that he's already surrounded, Walter lets go and falls with his father before he can sever the rope. Walter survives, Wilhelm doesn't. | |

Downplayed, as you have to be really into The Late Middle Ages to notice, but some forms of costumes, arms, and armor that didn't appear until the late 14th century are depicted in the early 14th century setting, and there's a few 15th century outliers like sallet helmets and the Lucerne hammer. The cranequin device that William Tell uses to span his crossbow wasn't invented until after 1400. | |

A Thicket of Spears: During the chapters dealing with the Battle of Morgarten, the rebels are shown struggling to slow down Austrian cavalry with blocks of polearms. Their formations aren't large enough to do much more than slow them down slightly: the heavy cavalry are shown either jumping over them or smashing through. Nonetheless, as shown in the epilogue, this presaged the dominance of Swiss mercenary pikemen on the battlefields of the Renaissance. | |

McNinja: Although there's no indication she was trained in actual ninjutsu, Johanna is basically what you get by transferring the idea of a female ninja or kunoichi to 14th century Europe. She disguises herself flawlessly as an old woman in her attempt to pass the St. Gotthard Pass checkpoint, uses her wiles to break out of her cell and infiltrate the castle, and dispatches multiple guards using her deadly martial arts skills. The inclusion of such a character in this setting is simply justified by Rule of Cool. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The audience was not informed on what ultimately happened to both Frederick and Leopold. For Frederick, he continued to vie with Ludwig for the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, until the Battle of Mühldorf in Sept 1322 saw him and 1300 nobles from Austria and Salzburg captured. After his capture, he was held prisoner by Ludwig for three years before he was released to convince Leopold to submit to Ludwig; Frederick had sworn an oath to return to Ludwig as a prisoner if he didn't succeed. After Leopold refused to bend the knee, Frederick fulfilled his oath, despite Pope John XXII releasing him from said oath. Impressed, Ludwig first made Frederick co-emperor; after protests from the Pope and the prince-electors, Frederick was made King of Germany in Jan 1326. He was king for about two months, and withdrew to rule in Austria and Styria only, after Leopold's death in Feb 1326. Frederick himself died in Jan 1330. For Leopold, he continued to fight for Frederick's claim as Holy Roman Emperor, even after Frederick himself had given up, following the Battle of Mühldorf. During Frederick's imprisonment, Leopold also tried to negotiate for his brother's release, even surrendering the Imperial Regalia he had kept at Kyburg castle. As mentioned above, Leopold died in Feb 1326, without ever bending the knee to Louis. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: The Hapsburgs in general. They heavily tax their subjects to fund their wars and rarely show mercy for those who defy them. While not mentioned, this part also has a Sins of Our Fathers component, as the heavy taxation started with Rudolf, Leopold's and Frederick's grandfather note Under the Hohenstaufen dynasty, the three forest cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden had gained the Reichsfreiheit, the first two because the Holy Roman Emperors wanted to place the strategically important St. Gotthard Pass under their direct control. For Unterwalden, most of its territory belonged to reichsfrei monasteries. When Rudolf was elected king of Germany in Oct 1273, he also became the direct liege lord of these reichsfrei regions. He instituted a strict rule and raised taxes to finance wars and further territorial acquisitions for his ambitions to become Holy Roman Emperor. This policy continued under Rudolf's son Albert; since neither father nor son succeeded in becoming emperor, the high taxes remained. By the time Albert was assassinated in May 1308, the cantons had endured for nearly 35 years, with Albert putting down rebellions during his reign.. Wolfram takes the cake. Bad Boss, Dirty Coward, and Moral Myopia can explain why his Karmic Death is very justified. | |

Oh, Crap!: Wolfram has this HARD when he sees how he is going to be executed. This is the one time in the manga when he is actually terrified. Which is rather ironic, considering just how many people he caused to have this over the years. | |

You Just Told Me: Wolfram pulls one on Johanna. He states that her pass was a forgery due to the absence of a tiny needle hole on the document. Surrounded by guards, this prompted Johanna to make a run for the exit, falling into a water trap. Once captured, Wolfram reveals to Johanna that the needle hole was a lie, and that he tricked her to reveal her true intentions. Amusingly, considering that Johanna's pass was indeed forgery, whether he simply provoked Johanna or was Right for the Wrong Reasons is up in the air. | |

Satan | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_c3bafbce | comment |
Satan: At the beginning of the 13th century, St. Gotthard Pass was flooded with lake water. It couldn't be crossed due to the consistent dangers of the area preventing construction, making people believe that the pass had the devil in it. One day, a girl of the mountains makes a deal with the devil, who agrees to lift his curse from the pass, in exchange for the life of the first person who passes through it. The people of the mountain manage to outwit the devil by sending a lamb down the pass, thus bringing his wrath upon them. The devil accepts the life of the lamb, but vows that, one day, he will avenge the disgrace. 100 years later - in that same place named St. Gotthard Pass - a barrier now stands. The magistrate of the invading Hapsburgs, imprisons the mountain people who moved through the pass, and a man rumored to be the devil's messenger - captures and kills the warriors who fight for independence - and who is that other than our main big bad, the bailiff Wolfram. | |

Hope Spot: First half of the manga shows Decoy Protagonists come up with various plans to bypass Wolfram's checkpoint and nearly succeeding, only for the man to be Crazy-Prepared and finding a good reason to out them as rebels and execute them. Ironically Wolfram himself falls victim to this. During his bout with Walter he's got the latter on the ropes and is ready to land the final blow ensuring his escape from his enemies. Only for Walter to counter his move and break both his arms. This action finally leads to his utter defeat in the hands of the alliance. | |

Unholy Ground: In its semi-mythological origin, the St. Gottard Pass killed hundreds of its developers until a little girl swears to the Devil that the first individual to cross it will be sacrificed. The developers learn what the little girl did and try to sacrifice her for her Deal with the Devil once a safe pass through the lake springs out of the gelid waters, but a baby lamb crosses first and the devil, offended, accepts this sacrifice. A hundred years later, once the fortress of Wolfsmund stands, the Devil sent his lackey Wolfram to acquire the lives due to him. | |

Historical Downgrade: Historically, Leopold never gave up on helping Frederick claim the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. Morgarten was literally just a setback. Hell, even after Mühldorf, where Frederick (and their brother Henry) was captured, Leopold worked first to secure Frederick's release. When that didn't work out, Leopold continued to attack Louis's forces. Finally, he refused to bend the knee to Louis even after Frederick had given up his claim. Oh, and Frederick was released by Louis after Frederick swore an oath to persuade Leopold to bend the knee, failing which Frederick would have to return to Louis as a prisoner. | |

The Hero: Many a character in this series appear to take this role only for them to fail horribly and die in gruesome fashion. The series goes out of its way to crush all hope of such a person to exist and survive in its cruel world. Thankfully, Walter takes this role later on the series, he's the longest surviving character fighting against the Empire and he's even the one to defeat the (first) Big Bad Wolfram in single combat. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Wolfsmund (Manga) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In real life, the Swiss forest cantons were already largely independent of Habsburg rule by the time the manga begins; their main concern was stopping any Habsburg attempts at reconquest. note In the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the Hapsburgs suffered several setbacks which temporarily weakened their supremacy in the Holy Roman Empire (which didn't even have an emperor at the time (ever since 1245, where Frederick II was deposed by Pope Innocent IV). These included the death of Leopold's grandfather Rudolf in 1291, and the assassination of Leopold's father Albert in 1308; both Rudolf and Albert ruled as "King of Germany". The Swiss forest cantons took the opportunity to increase their autonomy within the empire. Just like in the brief introduction to imperial politics in the chapter where Frederick and Leopold were introduced, before the Battle of Morgarten, the struggle for the crown of the Holy Roman Empire in 1314 was between Leopold's brother Frederick (also Duke of Austria, but Fred was crowned King of Germany in Nov 1314) and Louis (Ludwig), Duke of Bavaria; the cantons sided with Louis for fear of the Habsburgs trying to annex their counties again, like Rudolf had done. Basically, Wolfram would have had nowhere near the level of authority over the Swiss that the manga depicts. Also, note that the Swiss cantons remained in the Holy Roman Empire all the way until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, although they were highly autonomous after the Treaty of Basel in 1499. While the St. Gotthard Pass did play a major role in medieval European history, it does not seem to have been the site of any major battle between the Swiss and Austrians during the early 14th century, though its siege in the manga seems to have taken inspiration from the legendary Burgenbruch note While a number of castles were indeed destroyed during the early 14th century, the destruction of these forts in itself was of limited military import and could not have resulted in a lasting political change. Most castles were actually abandoned gradually, not during a sudden uprising, during the period of roughly 1200 to 1350.. Wolfram himself is wholly fictional, as is the Wolfsmund. | |
