So this volume was a mix of Ranma 1/2 and Fruits Basket... what was up with the random and stupid underwear thief storyline? What I find interesting about this series is that Sachie lives with Yakuza, yet all the guys are essentially good guys. They hardly do anything that's breaking the law (if they do, we never hear about it), they're super nice, the only thing that makes them Yakuza is they look like thugs. And that's about it. They're essentially the sweet and happy chapter of the Yakuza... where the old guy took them all in because they didn't have a home and so he made them a big family... now, I don't know much about the Yakuza... but I somehow doubt that's how it is. But who knows, maybe they do have a goodie goodie chapter. *shrugs*And the Fruits Basket similarities continue as we're introduced to Koh, a little smart-aleck kid who is basically the equivalent of Hiro. *sigh*These things all disappoint me, but it's not like it's causing me to dislike the series. I just wish this series could stand out on it's own as it's own story, and a not a copy of another with a slight tweak. Sachie is back in this third volume of Wild Ones. This time her life in the yakuza gang is still crazy although she is a bit more used to it. Somewhat. When her mother died she was left in the care of her grandfather who is the leader of the gang. She was put into the position somewhat like a princess and is even given a bodyguard! But Rakuto is confusing and annoying. Nice and then irritating. Sachie doesn't know what to feel about him.In this volume there is an underwear thief in the area and a lot of confusion erupts when Sachie's underwear is found by some of the men...or so they think. It turns out not to be hers and then some goes missing! This crazy, embarrassing adventure is followed by a kidnapping test and a bratty kid staying with the gang who drives Sachie crazy.This is fun manga and definitely a unique story. I like Sachie and feel sorry for Rakuto. This is a mostly clean manga there are minor cuss words and a brief bath scene. And this manga is quite fun and enjoyable. I read through them very quickly :) There was only one time where I got confused by the panels and everything was pretty easy to grasp :) I would recommend to manga fans and those who are looking for something fun and exciting.
