About Luger Code 1951

Looking for background on Luger Code 1951 (ルガーコード 1951)? This action and fantasy series by Studio DEEN (2016) starts out like this. The premise: 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.

Soon after, there, he is tasked to break the adversary 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.
