So, so WILD!



I introduced Girls of the Wild's back in February (Check that post out for synopsis and more!), and I really hope people took it a bit seriously cus this shit is awesome!


Chapter 36


Our Jae Gu is training for the preliminaries, a week away, and he is showing great improvement, however he is lacking the will to fight, i.e. the mind set to proper hit someone.

The Queen steps in with advice to put his weight behind his punches, as he is now he would not be able to knock out anyone.


After the training, Jae Gu is amazed at the energy needed for sport as he wrings his shirt off sweat, and we, as well as some innocent bystanders, get a nice look at how training has treated our "weak" protagonist.






This is the first time I thought of him as a bishie... ^^


On his way home, Jae Gu contemplates whether or not he will be able to fight in a weeks time, having never fought anyone in his life, and not really liking it. "Am I ...really a moron who can't do anything." 

He meets his opponent for the preliminaries, bastard redhead, Han Gyul. Jae Gu mentions meeting him at the match and gets a bitch slap for it. Han Gyul blames Jae Gu for all the training that has been forced on him, and bring up how he food poisoned Jae Gu's siblings.



At this point, I'm worried Jae Gu snaps, seeing as fights outside are forbidden, at the same time I SOO WANT HIM TO.

He doesn't. At least not physically and not now. But the slap serves to finally birth the will to kill/fight.







DONE!




I'm so happy! Its not so much that I wanted him to fight but to simply stand up for himself. It is time to kick some redhead ass! 


Please check out Girls of the Wild's on Webtoonlive. You will not regret it!


Happy reading and let me know what you think!!

Introducing: Girls of the Wild's

In comparison to my time with manga and anime, my time with manhwa in mainly webtoon form is much more recent, and significantly less. I have introduced and raved over Noblesse and recently introduced TAL . You can follow these on EG-Scans.

On this note, I wish to introduce Girls of the Wild's.




Wilds high, it has a history of 42 years as a fighting specialist all girls private highschool meant solely for the elite. The place Wilds-League is held, the most popular event in the country, the only place in the world where teenage girls have brutal fights with their lives.

This year has been changed into a mixed gender school. The only male student? Song Jae Gu, who has been granted a full 3-year scholarship regardless of grades. Being someone who had to spend every moment working or taking care of his two younger siblings, he accepted.

However, the scholarship was granted with the sole condition he does not leave. And after meeting Queen, bloody champion of Wild's-League, drenching her in coffee, calling her a "Monster" and getting caught while she was taking a shower... that could prove fatal. ~MangaUpdates~

I don't know how to explain it...but it is awesome! Now I am no fan of Harem but this also falls under Action, Martial Arts, School Life, Shounen, Comedy, and Drama. And rightly so.

I especially love the Martial Arts aspect of these girls- no, no, its no Holyland but definitely cool enough- they are GIRLY but FIERCE. They will literally FIGHT for their love. 

The art is splendid and if you know the artist of "Pet Diary" and "Nineteen Twenty One", it the same Kim Hye Jin / Zhena. 

I seriously enjoy this webtoon. The main character, the male, Jae Gu, doesn't do the "SHOUNEN" and show great power / unknown fighting ability. In fact he's against fighting and can't, regardless of the extent of damage, both physical and emotional, he receives.

Considering how much Jae Gu has been through, caring for his younger siblings on his own, working, and dealing with bullies, the word 'wuss' can't and should not be used to describe him. However, his lack of response can sometimes get you frustrated. This now gives the GIRLS of the Wild's more of a chance to fight and protect him, which is cool in its own right.

100% recommended. If not for the story then definitely for the art! Read it on Webtoonlive.

Let me know what you think!
