History Manga / WildLife

* AnythingThatMoves: Ryoto, his [[TheTease favorite target]] is Tessho, but has no qualms hitting on Hosho or anyone else for that matter.

''Wild Life'' is a manga created by Fujisaki Masato, which tells the story of Tesshou, a veterinarian. He is an ordinary high school delinquent who has no skills but a perfect pitch. He goes on to become a veterinarian and uses his skill of perfect pitch to cure sick animals. Despite its comedic and light approach, this comic really has a lot to say about the life of vets and their work on wild life. It is both heartwarming and funny, and filled with adorable animals.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Ryoto's family in general

* TalkingToPlants: Riki

* Determinator: Tessho's biggest strength, where with overtime research and energy he could find a miracle towards a supposedly "impossible" disease for an animal.

* AuthorTract: Hoo boy, chapter 49. The main characters take a moment to talk about how the West's ban on whale fishing is misguided, that whale populations are increasing, and how not controlling whale populations may result in environmental chaos. It's honestly a bit jarring to see politics brought up in this manga, especially when one would think that the characters, supporters of conservation themselves, would be against whale fishing. [[http://mangafox.me/manga/wild_life/v06/c049/8.html See it here.]]
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Almost all the main characters, since it's a required skill. But Hosho bring this to a whole new level: she's using her [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/wild_life/v05/c036/14.html FANTASY]], and boy her fantasy is [[CovertPervert wild]] and [[MundaneUtility useful]]!

* BettyAndVeronica: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/wild_life/v06/c042/1.html Played in the sixth volume's cover]]. Hosho as Veronica and Seno as Betty, [[ChasteHero not that Tessho noticed]]...

--->''Tesshou'': I'll tie you to my motorbike and take you on a death tour around Japan, or use seawater from Tokyo Bay to boil you on national television. Then I'll turn your body into an anatomical model and lock you up into the "Extreme Cold Experience" House in Cosmo World. Only an abnormal corpse will ever be found...

--->''Riki'': No matter what kind of person you are; there is a fat chance of being resented and betrayed by others. Humans, like devils; only thinking of themselves.

* CrowningMomentofHeartwarming: When Tesshou [[spoiler: saved Dog when Dog had seemingly died]] in the first chapter.

* HoYay: Way too many to count. Ryoto constantly hits on Tesshou, and is explicitly stated to be either gay or bisexual. Ryoto hitting on Tesshou is a running gag, and henceforth, the Ho Yay moments are piled on throughout the manga. Poor Tesshou... All played for laughs, though.
