 Wild Rock: It's the gaiden that gets me! December 1, 2008
Lauren Buchanan
First off, Yuuen is absolutely adorable but I wish he had looked just a fuzz more masculine. Also, this manga was not as explicit as I had expected. These two things aside, it was a good, fun little yaoi manga. It's a seme and uke "Romeo and Juliet" set in prehistoric times. It gave me sort of a Native American feel though. Our couple are Emba and Yuuen. Both are the sons of their clan's chief; warring clans. Sweet story with a decidedly happier ending than Shakespeare's original. My favorite part of this manga was the side story, "Wild Rock Gaiden-Innocent Lies." It's about the fathers of our two lovebirds, Selem and Yuni. Turns out the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Selem and Yuni also had a relationship when they were young but were forced to deny their feelings for one another. Selem is living in seclusion leading up to his coronation as cheif. When Yuni is caught in a snare Selem set for game, Selem brings him home and nurses him back to health. During that time love blossoms between two young men who are supposed to be enemies. I have a favorite scene at the end of the main story. In it, you see that after so many years Selem still has the token of affection that Yuni gave to him when they were young. This would be a four star for me, but I'm adding a fifth star for the side story because it gave me such a warm fuzzy feeling! :)
mmmm Emba.... February 21, 2008

I just finished Wild Rock (it took all of a 1/2 hour to read). The art was lovely and so smooth. Emba is the heir to one clan and our resident seme (also on the cover of the book). Yuuen is the son of another clan's chief; sweet, a little timid and smaller (uke-duh!). Yuuen dresses up like a girl in order to get close to Emba and ask him to stop hunting so close to their clans' land. Instead they slowly fall in love. It's a little Romeo and Juliet-ish, but cute and sweet. I kind of expected it to be a little more hardcore, being that there's a man in a loin cloth on the front, but the scenes were fairly tame actually. They were pretty but not very detailed (the usual outlined or nonexistent boy parts). Despite it being rather tame and the plot unoriginal and thin, I enjoyed it. The art was pretty, especially the few at the beginning and those beginning each chapter. I'd buy it just for those really. I say give it a chance. I think you'll want it as a pleasant addition to your collection.

this is from the same author who did Man's Best Friend. I didn't care for Man's Best Friend but I liked this one better. The story is cute, but if you want to see a lot of sex you'll luck out, theres only two sex scenes in it. But I still enjoyed it, like I said the story was cute. if you do get it dont get confused when you get to the second story. the first and last story is about the guy on the cover and another guy, then the second story is about their fathers. I was confused for a bit untill I realized it.lol
Wild Rock review February 12, 2008
Violet Black (Nibelheim...)
This book is drawn so beautifully.. I absolutely love the art. I prefer my Seme's to be masculine and my Uke's to be feminine, and that's the style this book is in. The characters are hot!
The story is adorable... There are two main stories and a short at the end. It's a romantic, dramatic, humorous book, with some hot love scenes.
From previous reviews I've read here, I was unsure I'd like this book, but I gave it a shot anyway, and I really like it. It's one of my favorite books in my collection. I didn't want to give any of the story away, but it is really sweet and left me wanting more of this book.
Beautiful. December 19, 2007

Takashima-sama is an amazing artist, and her skills really shine in this story about two young men (and their fathers, in a side story) from different clans, who fall in love with each other through a series of meetings (with neither of them knowing about the other's feelings). In a way, it is an almost melancholy story in some parts, especially when the background surrounding the two main characters' fathers is revealed. Takashima-sensei never fails to deliver in terms of art and storyline.
