Summary:
There's this one city, its name is true to its meaning, "Wild City. Wherein there's an innocent cute lil Jimmy, a werewolf, involved and forced to collide with humans. Living as a postman, together with Henry and his guardian, Taylor. His mission was only to be the best postman he is. Along the way, he met other people and became friends with him, despite knowing he's a werewolf and a gay one. All along living in Wild City, he's looking for someone who will love him unconditionally. He confessed to Taylor, his guardian, and they tried to date. He was so happy that Taylor reciprocated his feelings, bcs eversince he went to this city, all he can think of was to be in Taylor's side. However, a woman, was interested with Taylor and have bad intentions to both of them. She and her gang cornered Jimmy and as a werewolf, his instinct was to kill. He pushed and started to scratch the woman, unknowingly that he was being filmed. They threatened him that they will upload that video and people from the "lab" will take Jimmy back. They threatened him, that if he didn't break up with Taylor, they will upload the video. That scared Jimmy, bcs going back to the laboratory scared him, it was a trauma. He and Taylor decided to break up, in which the woman thought she'll get him right away. However, Taylor wasn't really interested with her... and so she failed. Jimmy was broken and he has no one. Taylor said, that, they have to part ways bcs being gay in this society won't be accepted by many people, in which, Jimmy understood and he got a closure. During his break up with Taylor, Henry was there for him all the time. They do bicker a lot, but, Henry was starting to have feelings with Jimmy.
One time, when that woman failed her 1st attempt to get Taylor, she did come up with another scheme. She wants Scott, Henry's rival, to win as the elite leader of the Postman that year. She threatened Jimmy that he needs to make Henry drink a potion that will make him perform badly on the competition. However, Jimmy was torn. He's also starting to like Henry and at the same time he wants Henry to be the elite leader. But, that woman threated him again that she'll upload the video. Turns out that on the competition itself, Henry and Jimmy, already planned something for a counter. They already called the police to turn that woman in and in the end, Scott was assigned as the Elite Manager of the year.
During that competition and awarding, as well, Jimmy and Henry announced to everyone that they are dating. Henry is the top and Jimmy was still a bottom... They have done the deed , dated and even there for each other during Jimmy's mating season. They thought everything's good, until one day, a human was attacked and they blamed Jimmy for it, bcs the attacks look like a werewolf attack. Not aware that there were other werewolves in the city..
A group of men captured Jimmy, not knowing that they're not from the police station, but from the laboratory. Joseph, another scientist, together with Dr. Jessica, captured Jimmy and told him the truth... They captured him and enraged with anger, Jimmy went into full power and uncontrollably killled the guards and those who were trying to harm him,... Taylor, Henry and Mason went to the Sky Lab, and came to rescue Jimmy. However, they already caught him in full rage and even tried to kill them. But before Jiimy was able to do that, Henry saw Taylor's Solution and injected it with himself ... while talking to Jimmy, he made the werewolf came back to his senses and they thought it was over, when, suddenly a soldier shot Henry in the chest and suddenly they were separated with a loud bang and the second he know, Jimmy was already captured in a room full of people and there was Jason and Scott.
The truth was, Jimmy was an experiment by Taylor, along with Mason (red haired), and other 4 experiements. His goal was to turn all werewolves to humans, however, 3 of them died, while Mason and Jimmy lived. Mason's story, was, he survived the potion and he became half human / half wolf, but there were still after effects, and there's an antidote he kept on taking in order for him not to turn into a full weaponized werewolf. His mission was to look for an everlasting antidote to make him full human, but his mission failed when Joseph's ulterior motive was to actually kill all of them. He only needs the purebred, which is Jimmy. He was only an "experiment"
To Jimmy's story, when Taylor thought all of his experiments died, it struck him and was traumatized that it will also happen to Jimmy. So, he threw the solution away and just took an oath with Jason to take care of Jiimmy in exchange of WP2 solution to be handed at him. The reason why Taylor became his guardian...
Jason, a scientist who wants to take over Wild City and defeat Taylor, created another experiment using the Wp2 to Scott, which is that woman's brother and old colleague at work, to defeat Jimmy and to prove that his work is better than Taylor's and let everyone watch all experiments / werewolves turn into eo and let rich people buy it from him (auction). However, his plans were defeated, Scott killed himself, bcs he suddenly came back to senses. Mason was dead, he sacrificed himself, to protect Henry. Bcs after all this time, he was just protecting Henry from the truth of this City.. Taylor managed to prevent a lazer to cut Henry and Jimmy.
Taylor managed to get there in Jacob's hiding place and killed him. He turned off the Sky Lab and restarted the system and went out alive. They buried Mason's body.. and suddenly a helicopter came, Dr. Han, which is also a scientist and Taylor's father, came down and told them that since Henry and Jimmy knew the secrets of the Wild City, it was not safe for them to live...... in the city. And so he offered their mansion wherein Henry and Jimmy worked for the govern of the Wild City (back office) under Dr. Han's provisions.
Before living tgt with Henry, Taylor asked Jimmy for a hug. And flashback started to came, it turns out, that what they feel for each other were real. It's just that, guilt and differences made them break apart. And they have their own paths to take. For Taylor, he was collided with his past 2 experiments again, and took responsible for Wild City, and created a solution to turn all Hybrid animals to human...
As for Henry and Jimmy, they lived happily ever after. Worked for Dr. Han and lived in the mansion for almost 5 years outside Wild City. It was new for them, but, they managed to survive and live it as long as they're together. Henry created a pill for them to have a child, in which they did! Twin brothers that really looks like Henry!! - Jimmy's dreams. After 5 years, Taylor went back to the mansion and they welcome him will full arms.
Review:
Pros.. THE PLOT WAS OKAY . It's obvious that the Author gave a lot of time thinking about the details and the flow of the story is okay. I'll give this credit for you. It may have a lot of twists and drama, and it suits the TITLE that it was indeed WILD. Not just bcs it's full of other creatures and werewolves, there's a lot of mysteries on it too. It was very unique compare to other BL/Shounen Ai/Fantasy manga that I have read. The smut scenes were okay as well! Not too much and not lacking. Just enough to show between Taylor x Jimmy their "almost brotherly love" for eo and "forever unconditional love with Henry! Jimmy and Henry, after all, are werewolves and needed to have "sexy, mating time, all the time!",, The idea of the "almost love" with Taylor is okay ! It was a hard decision between both persons, to let go of eo, when they're not really meant to be tgt. They knew that, and the author knew it as well, that Henry was there at the perfect timing. Staying with Jimmy will be a guilt for Taylor and they both knew that it was the best decision to stay as friends after all that happened. Kudos to that part. And I like the idea of having kids tooo!! Henry x Jimmy babies are sooo cute~!!
Cons: Okay.. I think the drama was too much from the start. The woman who wants to steal Taylor away from Jimmy was totally uncalled for and unneccesary. The only thing we got from it was the new character, Scott, in which he was needed at the end main story. What I don't get is that, it took around 70-80 chapters just to what? Threaten and bully Jimmy. Just to get Taylor's attention? In which she absolutely failed! I mean, it was okay, it's part of the story, but does it really have to be over 70-80 chapters then your main story (secrets about the Wild City, Taylor's father, Joseph's motives etc) were squeezed into what?!?!? Like 20 chapters or more. Which resulted to have lots of loopholes. Like, what happened to Joseph? What made him to be like that kind of person? Why was he in charge instead of Taylor?
Favorite character : mason shin :3
