Kiyo Fujiwara

This review first appeared on A Weebish Book Blog

Kiyo Fujiwara brings readers her most ridiculous adventurous volume yet when an underwear thief steals Sachie’s underwear and causes mayhem at the clan’s house. As the clan endeavors to discover who is reckless enough to break into the home of a Yakuza boss, someone kidnaps Sachie! Who in the world is targeting the Asagi clan?!

A lot goes on in volume three of the WILD ONES series. Sachie shows her clan just how tough she is as she navigates one dangerous situation after another, and we also see a gentler side of our ferocious main character as she becomes increasingly vulnerable. And we finally learn more about Sachie’s mom, Yukie, when someone from the past appears to stir up even more trouble.

Yukie isn’t the only character whose background is revealed in volume 3. We are presented a glimpse into Rakuto’s difficult childhood—and learn more about the “perfect” bodyguard’s fears, weaknesses, and what made him who he is today. I’m so glad to finally learn more about the mysterious man! Though I’m confident we have not learned all there is to know about the enigmatic man.

All-in-all, WILD ONES, VOL. 3 turned out to be one surprising (and somewhat ridiculous, as per usual) ride! I am itching to read more from Kiyo Fujiwara—and to see what kooky situations she has planned for Sachie next!… (lisätietoja)

In volume two of the WILD ONES series, Sachie and the clan head to the beach to visit her grandfather’s friend and enjoy some fun in the sun. The group soon encounters trouble when Sachie meets Azumi Inui, who quickly becomes enamored with her, sparking Rakuto’s jealousy and competitive drive.

I once again enjoyed the trip back into Sachie’s over-the-top and humorously ridiculous life. In this sequel to WILD ONES, vol. 2 Sachie continues to keep the clan’s henchmen on their toes as her vigilante ways often lead to unforeseen and dangerous situations. Many would become exasperated—I certainly would!—but they seem to take it in stride and take comfort that her presence in their lives has filled them with happiness.

Volume two delivers more “awwwwh”s, more gut-wrenching moments as Sachie mourns her mother’s death, and priceless cockblocking from oblivious clan members.… (lisätietoja)
