After her mother dies and her estranged grandfather shows up to care for her, Sachie Wakamura discovers that her grandfather is the head of a yakuza gang and Rakuto, one of the most popular boys in school, is her new protector.
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.
Adorable!

For those who are familiar with the 5-volume manga, Happy Hustle High, I highly recommend Wild Ones! The heroine is anything but normal, but its still fun and full of laughter. It's about a young girl who's grandfather has taken her in since her mother is dead, and she ends up falling in love with her "guardian" -- who happens to be the most popular boy in her class! It's full of laughter and fun, and I highly recommend this manga to anyone. It also has a lot more about the traditional Japanese culture than most modern manga does, so its also really great if you are interested in learning more about traditions, and things like that!

Sachie Wakamura's mother has just past away. She has no one to turn to until her estranged grandfather shows up and tells her that she is going to live with him. Here's the thing though, her grandfather happens to head the Yakuza, the most vile crime syndicate in Japan. While dealing with her grief over her mother Sachie begins to learn why she left the household to begin with. There are many surprises in store for Sachie, including her grandfather's choice in a bodyguard for his beloved granddaughter. Rakuto, the young man in question, soon begins to tail Sachie everywhere she goes, including school. Rakuto's handsome looks and gentle demeanor make him a favourite at school and Sachie resigns on having him be her bodyguard, but she can't settle her heart whenever she looks at him. Will falling in love with the bosses blood prove such a good idea for Rakuto? This is a great start. I really enjoyed it. The art is gorgeous! I was really pleased with it. And the story seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. I will grab it off the shelf as soon as I can.
How I liked it.

It was so funny even though it has yakuza in it. It only makes it funnier.><
