Customer Reviews

Funny, great, sexy love story

Wild Act trully gets better & better after each volume. The first volume is merely an introduction of Yuniko & Ryu's initial meeting, & for you to get to know each characters. I have to admit when I first read the first few chapters of the first volume, I thought it was a manga about some silly obsessed star struck girl! However, I am glad I really gave it a chance & purchased all 5 volumes! After each volume you really get to understand Yuniko's obsession with Akira Nanae's personal things, why she wants to have all of them so badly. Ryu Eba's encounter with Yuniko did not end after Yuniko succesfully stole Ryu's award for being best actor & being labeled as the new Akira Nanae. It looks like Yuniko didn't just succesfully steal Ryu's award, but his heart as well. But will Ryu ever get to win Yuniko's heart who is so obsessed with Akira?Yuniko & Ryu's relationship develop, their bond gets stronger with each volume. You will deffinitely laugh & cheer for Yuniko & Ryu! Great manga!!!!

Wild Act: One Wild Ride

First off, Wild Act gets better with each Volume, unlike most books or manga where the quality is great for the first couple, and then drops off after that. Nope, Wild Act is first-rate manga. And here's why: The cover may decieve you, but don't let it.! The first Volume we are introduced to Yunika, a total fanatic of the late actor Akira Nanae, the first and only Japanese Actor to ever really cross-over into America. Yuniko is on a mission to get back EVERYTHING that Akira Nanae EVER owned, and to do so, she must steal his belongings from homes, studios, and banks. On a mission to gain Akiras Golden Academy Award, she attends the awards, but she set up the wrong dressing room, because she never thought Ryu Eba(The New Nanae), would win the award. And so they meet, and at first it seems he is just out to cause her trouble and annoy her by throwing obstacles left-to-right to keep her from gather her idols belongings. Soon Yuniko is worried she may be getting off-focus of collecting Akira's belongings, because her mind keeps going back to Ryu. To find out the rest, you have to read it.! I really CAN'T do the series justice by summarizing this first volume, but just trust me, give the series a shot, I love it(I'm a girl), and my brother and his friend love it too. There's plenty of action and twist in the plot to keep guys interested, and a love story for the mushy headed girls. :D God Bless & *Enjoy* ~Amy

Offers more than expected!

Suprisingly cute story with more heart than the premise might indicate. An obsessive fan finds clever ways to steal personal items belonging to a famous movie star that died young. There's actually a heartfelt reason for her obsession and a disturbing secret that is waiting for her behind closed doors. [...] Drawn and written for girls, but with plenty of smart-alec humor and intense theif action that could attract a wide audience.

Good one!

Unique story, likeable characters, awesome drawings...what more can I say? Wild Act by Rie Takada is on my top five list!Yuniko Sakuraba is your typical teenage girl- one who has an obsession for her favorite actor. In Yuniko's case, her idol, Akira Nanae, passed away sixteen years ago in a plane crash. Yuniko has a thing for his prized possessions- even if it means having to obtain some help from her genius friend Tokio Niwa, steal from high-security places, land on foot from three stories high, and deceive popular actor Ryu Eba. Ryu Eba is the so-called "New Nanae", who goes from being one of the people on Yuniko's black list to someone on the top of her list.I must applaud Rie Takada!
