Wild Ones Vol 1 Kiyo Fujiwara Books

There seems to be a pretty clear lack of consistency in the story and the art style. The tone of the panels and the narrative arcs jump all over the place making the whole thing feel kind of incoherent. You'll switch from one scene to another without really knowing why you're making the transition or having any clue as to what is going on in the new scene. I think this manga has a fun idea behind it, but poor execution of said idea makes the experience unpleasant.

Ultimately manga and any other narrative art form is supposed to have a natural flow to it. When it works well you don't even notice it and find yourself drawn into the work and the story. The setting of Wild Ones is interesting, but I constantly felt myself drawn out of the experience by strange shifts in tone, setting, and plot points.

Wild Ones Vol 1 Kiyo Fujiwara Books Reviews

Manga is one of my most expensive obsessions, so when I spotted the first four volumes of WILD ONES at my local used bookstore for only $2.70 a piece I greedily snatched them up. I’d never heard of Kiyo Fujimara’s works, but I knew from the synopsis they’d be right up my alley. I love anything to do with the Yakuza (Japanese organized crime) and this one did not disappoint.

Sachie Wakamura’s mother passes away and leaves Sachie homeless—or so she thinks. Her estranged grandfather shows up and before she knows it, she’s the precious granddaughter of Razo Asagi, the Yazuka Boss of the Asagi clan! Her life receives a drastic makeover. To make things even more uncomfortable, she’s been assigned a beautiful and very flirty new bodyguard who keeps calling her “princess” and is so flamboyantly loyal she can’t trust a word he says. Or can she?

Rakuto Igarashi--said bodyguard with a not-so-easy job--was an interesting guy. He’s the least Yakuza-esque of the bunch, but he’s also the most passionate about his job. The others are plenty passionate, but you get what you see when it comes to the others in the clan. You know exactly who they are the moment you spot the gaudy getup. Rakuto is the wild card (pun unintended). He looks like more like Student Council President (he is) than Yakuza member. And he’ll do anything to keep his princess safe.

If you think the Yakuza are scary…you ain’t seen Sachie the vigilante. She’s a scary gal when she spots others doing wrong—or someone in need of help. Sachie was a wonderfully developed character for shojo manga. There are many different facets to her personality. She’s both independent and strong, shy and hesitant. I liked her more than I thought I would. She’s not one to allow others to fight her battles for her – which lands her into some intense situations.

There is just something so refreshing about the Asagi clan – a fierce loyalty and deep respect of the boss that you just don’t see often in American culture. It’s familial and comforting. I love this clan of overgrown henchmen! Yeah, they’re technically bad guys, but if anything, WILD ONES has shown that you can find good in anyone and nothing is as black and white as it appears.

If you’ve read much shojo manga, you’ll realize it very rarely surprises you. It sticks to a few different formulas when it comes to plot and character development. It’s very character driven and thin plot-wise — reality will never get in the way of a happily-ever-after.

This book was a very surprising emotional whirlwind. It had me laughing my butt off, melting from adorableness, and sniffling from heartbreak. The plot might not be the most original, but it was so clever and memorable I can’t wait to binge read the rest of the series. Kiyo Fujimara has a new fan and I can’t wait to read more!
The whole series is light hearted, and very much funny, this is a great start, and the art is clean and crisp. A great story, and worth the time to read. I have the whole series on my shelf, and pull it down at least once a year for a read.
I would go into details, but I'm afraid others on here have already done it so well. So, I'll simply say that this is a great manga series for ages 13-16, although I'm older and I still enjoyed it. Sachie is a sweet main character and Rakuto is an interesting hero with a mysterious past. Perfect read for a rainy day.
Daughter loved it
Great story!
Wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this series but I thought I'd give it a try after it coming up so many time in my recommended for you read in list. And I'm glad I decided to read it! I love it so much. Oddly unique and very cute storyline I'll read this all the way through again and again.
Good
