Welcome to Wild's High, a private all-girls highschool that specializes in martial arts of every kind. Wild's High's goal is make their female students the best of the best where everyone is a powerful badass, but their director soon realizes that they are just making their students into spec-op commandos and not maidens. Luckily the school's director has a solution: enter Song Jae Gu. Jae Gu is a struggling highschooler who has to take care of his two younger siblings after his dad died and mom left them. Jae Gu gets lucky when he gets a scholarship to attend Wild's High as its first male student, since the school is near his home and he can spend more time taking care of his siblings. But unknown to Jae Gu, he's part of the director's plan to make the female students more maiden-like. However, Jae Gu gets into trouble on his first day when he accidentally messes up the clothes of Yoon In Gyi, aka The Queen, the strongest student of Wild's High.Girls Of The Wild's is a Korean Webtoon by Zhena, artist of Nineteen, Twenty-One, and writer HUN.English version can be found here.
Provides examples of:
Accidental Pervert: Song Jae Gu asks where Queen is, and busts into the women's shower room without thinking to LOOK where he's going.
Badass Boast: The girls frequently throws these at their opponents, and they have plenty of skills to back them up.
Berserk Button: Do anything to threaten Jae Gu's siblings and he'll snap.
Don't call Lee Moon Young a pig or mention her weight in general.
Although all the girls that have decided on a close relationship with Jae Gu have this, Dal Dal has 3; insulting her cooking, insulting her family's cooking and Hurting Jae Gu outside the ring.
Get ready for a beatdown if you harm one of the principal's students.
Driver Park too. He's the Eyes Always ShutCool Old Guy that acts as Queen's chauffeur (he doesn't seem that old, though). But when some idiot comes by the car wash and treats Queen like she could be a hooker, all she does is say Park's name and he pulls a gun on the idiot's ass, eyes wideopen.
Wild's Principal, Lee Pal Bong. He's short, balding, and incredibly unassuming. However, he is an undefeated pro boxing champion, with 38 K Os over his career. Harm one of his students, and he will destroy you.
Comically Missing the Point: In the very first chapter, Jae Gu falls into Queen and spills coffee all over her. She demands he replace her clothes, valued at 150 and 130 (speaking in terms 10,000 Won, which is common in Korea). She meant 2.8 million Won (about $2500). He gives her 280 Won (about 25 cents). Queen is so shocked that she just stands there staring at the money.
Cool Big Sis: Lee Moon Young tries to act like this towards Jae Gu, although she would like him to fall for her.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Kim Ho Pae gives one to Park Junghyun, the previous year's runner-up. Then he gets one courtesy of Lee Moon Young.
For the Evulz: Han Gyul really doesn't seem to HAVE a motivation other than to be a Jerkass for fun, especially when He gives Jae Gu's siblings food poisoning
Fragile Speedster: Choi Dal Dal is this, not because she cannot take hits, but because she lacks stamina vis a vis other high-class fighters.
Freudian Excuse: Both the Queen and Jae Gu hate the opposite sex for various reasons. Jae Gu hates woman and sees them as monsters because his mother abandoned him and his siblings after his father's death. The Queen hates men and sees them as liars because the boy she liked in grade school blew her off because she dressed up as a boy. When he later learned she was rich in middle school, he tried to woo her by claiming he did like her, which only led her to beating him up since she knew what he really wanted.
Green-Eyed Monster: Han Gyul, after seeing Jae Gu in passing and somehow coming to the conclusion that Jae Gu is responsible for the boredom in his life, follows him around and sees him training, as well as working with his friends at the car wash. He spends the entire time trying to convince himself that Jae Gu still has a terrible life, but eventually realizes that he's incredibly jealous of him.
Jae Gu in his fight with Kim Ho Pae. It doesn't end well.
Hypocrite: Kim Ho Pae for telling Lee Moon Young not to get ahead of herself because she used a "petty trick" in the first few seconds of their match when earlier, he sucker-punched Song Jae Gu without even waiting for the bell to ring. Not to mention near the end of the match, he tries to knock her out with a chair in the corner of the ring, only to get his ass thoroughly handed to him. His Mooks are no better, calling out the main cast for their supposed arrogance while boasting about how badass their group is. Guess how that turned out.
Han Gyul tries to make Jae Gu feel bad for humiliating him by beating him in a fair fight, conveniently disregarding all the unprovocated bullying Han Gyul put Jae Gu through.
Ignored Enemy: After the tournament, Hwang Jae Oh at the car wash as Moon Young and Dal Dal are spying on Queen and Jae Gu - he gives up and hunkers down with them to spy.
And AGAIN in the very next chapter when he starts boasting that he's going to beat Queen, and the driver hollers at him to move his bike.
I Never Said It Was Poison: Played differently. Mi Nam catches Han Gyul on this, stating that Jae Gu never said anything about his siblings getting food poisoning.
Informed Ability: Sadly, since technology has not advanced to the point we can taste Dal Dal's cooking through the screen, we'll have to take Moon Young's word for it.
Love at First Punch: The Goo Ra coach for Lee Na. So far, completely one sided, but he's praying for a Tsundere.
Made of Iron: Jae Gu, due to all the times he's been beat up by people like Han Gyul.
Missing Mom: And a very serious case of one, for Jae Gu's family. She went missing voluntarily, abandoning her children to their luck.
Morton's Fork: The first fight of the tournament pits Dal Dal and Moon Young against each other.
Mr. Fanservice: Jae Gu is both a straight example and an in-universe one, especially after he begins his training. At one point he goes to wash his face, noting how he's never sweat so much before in his life, lifting up his shirt to wipe his face off, revealing his abs. Then the panel pans out to reveal that all of the girls are staring at him, blushing and smiling.
And the next frame shows all the girls taking out their cellphones to take photos.
Never My Fault: Han Gyul has a bad habit of taking advantage of people and hurting them while never realizing that he's in the wrong. He even tries to blame Jae Gu for the lack of stuff to do aside from training in his life, not the fact that he's a delinquent who likes to mooch off of other people.
No Social Skills: Wild's girls do not know how to talk to men when it doesn't involve fighting them.
Obfuscating Stupidity: The Queen's little brother. Don't let his lack of patience and childish demeanor fool you. He's actually a very capable fighter.
Oh Crap: Hwang Jae Oh when he realizes there's more to Lee Mi Nam than he initially thought.
Han Gyul, in chapter 26. Thinking that the Wild's girls at Jae Gu's house can't attack without getting expelled, he's set to attack Queen for being humiliated previously. Queen just calls up her secretary as she shuts the gate behind her. The look on his face when he overhears this:
Queen: "...I believe a little something may happen soon... and I'd like to ask you to clean up for me. If you don't... I may get a bit injured."
Secretary: "Don't worry! As long as it's not murder, I'll be able to take care of it!"
Panty Shot: Noticeably sparse, considering the story takes place in an (almost) all-girls high school. Most of the shots are out of focus, blocked by objects or covered by Censor Shadow.
Poisonous Friend: Seems like it's shaping up to be Han Gyul for Lee Mi Nam.. Lee Mi Nam doesn't seem to be a bad guy at all, but you have to question his judgement when Actual Pacifist Jae Gu charges into their classroom, tries to pound Han Gyul with a full chair/desk assembly, and when that doesn't work tackles him to the ground, screams that he's going to kill him, and probably would have if he hadn't been stopped. After all that, Lee Mi Nam (and the rest of Goo Ra, for that matter) make absolutely no effort to even ask Jae Gu what his beef is, and Lee Mi Nam STILL unquestioningly believes Han Gyul isn't at fault. Why? Because Han Gyul SAID he isn't at fault.
Revenge Before Reason: Kim Ho Pae and his mafia aren't listed under Idiot Ball for no reason. Despite their side being at a clear disadvantage, it seems that every time they get offended, their first response is to resort to violence and intimidation, even if it is clear as day, they have ZERO chance at coming out on top.
Rich Bitch: Queen comes off as this at first as one of Jae Gu's utterances brought up some unpleasant memories.
Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Queen again. She commissioned winners of architectural prizes to design and decorate the male showers. She doesn't even like it after completion, partly because it lacks the clawfoot bathtub she wanted.
Running Gag: "Wild's medical doctor Jun Soomin, Wild's 25th year graduate 4 times Hapkido champion. After mending the bones of the fighters that she broke herself, she entered medical school. She begins to recall that fabulous past..."
Shown Their Work: A subtle but impressive one by the author in chapter 51, with Han Gyul's elbow strike. The fight appears to be using slightly modified MMA rules, and the 12-6 elbow strike he used (elbow starts high, in the 12 o'clock position, and strikes vertically downward to the 6 o'clock position), is in fact illegal in current MMA competition, where most other elbow strikes are legal.
Sleep Cute: after Jae-Gu's tournament victory against Han Gyul, he gets so exhausted that he falls asleep. Moon Young and Dal Dal, who have been tending to his bruises, for some reason also fall asleep next to him.
Small Name, Big Ego: Everybody from Goo Ra with the possible exception of Lee Mi Nam. Special note goes to Kim Hye Shin, who got torn apart by Queen in the first chapter in a fight where Kim Hye Shin had stacked the rules in her own favor, but keeps posturing and screeching that it was all a fluke and she'll beat Queen easily.
None of the Goo Ra has won a fight against Wild's High on panel yet, but they all are completely convinced every one of their defeats was an accident and they are the best fighters in the world.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Queen, on at least two occasions, used the "I did not (insert unusually big favor here) because I worry about him (Jae-Gu) or anything" variety.
The Everyman: Jae Gu is this trope at first, but then his Back Story is revealed, he shows potential to be a good fighter, undergoes Character Development and takes a few levels in badass.
I Am Not Left-Handed: Turns out Lee Mi Nam was holding back in their first encounter, because he knows how dangerous Boxing can be outside of sanctioned events.
Played straight with Park Junghyun, the runner-up in the previous year tournament against a newcomer.
