5When Sachie Wakamura loses her mother, her estranged grandfather suddenly shows up to care for her, only to find out that her grandfather is actually the head of a {{Yakuza}} gang and she's a MafiaPrincess, with the ever popular and infuriating Rakuto Igurashi as her guardian. Now Sachie's just trying to live a normal life while in a house filled with gang members, and trying to find out what exactly is Rakuto's deal...

8!!''Wild Ones'' employs the following tropes:
9
10%%* AbortedDeclarationOfLove
11* AbusiveParents: Rakuto's parents are kind of shitty, as far as parents go. Especially the mom...Christ, what kind of parent tells their son she can't go to his school play because [[KickTheDog she's got better things to do]] and routinely calls him 'worthless'? And this all happens when Rakuto's in ''kindergarden''.
12* ADayInTheLimelight: Yasu with his 'Sakura Blossom Fairy' arc. [[BittersweetEnding Turned out to be surprisingly bittersweet]]
13* AlmostKiss: At least three of these between Sachie and Rakuto in every. Single. Volume. And there are ''ten'' volumes.
14* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Rakuto and Azuma's relationship seem to consist entirely of Rakuto beating Azuma at Everything Ever, up to the point where Azuma is now TheChewToy.
15* BeautifulDreamer: The closest Sachie's ever come to overcoming her ObliviousToLove persona is when she sees Rakuto sleeping.
16* BerserkButton:
17** Do NOT waste food in front of Sachie...
18** For Azuma, just anything to do with Rakuto.
19* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sachie's the sweetest, most clueless girl around until you press her BerserkButton...
20* BigEater: Sachie. When she goes on a class trip to Kyoto, all she can think about is trying the food there.
21-->'''Kayo''': ''Hey, hey, what do you want to do?''
22-->'''Sachie''': ''Go to Irashi Yama to eat boiled tofu and eel; it sounds yummy. After that I want to try an outside cafe and eat things like warabi mochi. Yes, and buy souvenirs for Grandpa and the others like black seven spice blend and dried sardines...''
23-->'''Kayo''': ''[[BlueWithShock There's more than eating to do!]]''
24%%* BodyguardCrush: Guess.
25* DisappearedDad: Rakuto's dad.
26* [[DotingParent Doting Grandparent]]: Raizo cares for Sachie a lot, and genuinely wants her to be happy.
27* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Have we mentioned that whenever Rakuto is being [[strike: evil]] charming he sparkles? A lot?
28* {{Fanservice}}: Rakuto's waiter outfit, and Sachie's maid outfit in volume 6.
29* HoldingHands:
30** There are a lot of instances between Sachie and Rakuto, but some particularly significant examples include when they both go out to celebrate New Year's [[spoiler: after they've confessed to each other]] and Sachie forgets her gloves, leading Rakuto to hold her hands.
31** Another instance is [[spoiler: after Sachie's graduated and going to the University of Kyoto with Rakuto]], where the [[spoiler: last couple of shots in the manga]] are of Sachie's and Rakuto's hands entwined together.
32* HotBlooded: Amusingly enough, Sachie, whenever she gets riled up. These moments usually result in a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
33* LuminescentBlush: Sachie sports this quite a few times. [[ShipTease Usually near Rakuto.]]
34* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy
35* LoveTriangle: Both Rakuto and Azuma [[EveryoneCanSeeIt have some pretty obvious feelings towards Sachie]], but Sachie sees Azuma [[JustFriends as a friend]] and only has eyes for Rakuto.
36* MomentKiller:
37** Just as [[spoiler: Rakuto's]] about to confess his love...in bursts his dad. And all the fandom screamed in frustration.
38** Deliberately invoked by [[TheRival Azuma]], who surprises Sachie and Rakuto with a cat mask before [[UnresolvedSexualTension things could get too serious.]]
39* NotSoStoic: Rakuto has his moments. They either end in a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} or a {{Tearjerker}}.
40* ObliviousToLove: After eight volumes of wondering why her heart beats so fast and her temperature rises every time she's near Rakuto, Sachie's still pretty oblivious.
41* OlderThanTheyLook: Sachie's homeroom teacher, Chi-Chan. [[DudeWheresMyRespect Much to his displeasure.]]
42* RunningGag: Sachie running into the bathroom while Rakuto is still using it and being completely oblivious about his nakedness.
43* SadistTeacher: Rakuto, according to Sachie.
44%%* ShipTease: This is a shoujo manga. What do you expect?
45%%* SleepCute
46* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Even the manga company themselves cannot agree on how to spell Sachi's first name.
47* StepfordSmiler: Rakuto is bit of a one. He seems cool and completely put together, but a lot of it's a cover to hide his cripplingly low self esteem.
48%%* TheStoic: Rakuto. [[BerserkButton And that really pisses Azuma off.]]
49* SupremeChef: Sachie; she actually wants to open her own restaurant when she gets older.
50* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: It's pretty much impossible to find a scene where the yakuza that work for Sachie do any actual organized crime work.
51%% * UmbrellaOfTogetherness
52%%% Zero-context examples are not allowed.
53* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler:Sachie and Rakuto are this to each other, if Sachie ever realises that Rakuto is her first love.]]
54%%* VitriolicBestBuds: Azuma and Rakuto, though they'd never admit the 'best buds' part.
