Arakure (Manga) add (All reviews)
Apr 8, 2012
Arakure aka the wild ones is a good series that shows that reusing ideas can be done well.

Story:9/10
Well for story its already done before as we see the main lead looses a family member and is taking in by a other relative. But I think that the part when she realize he is the leader of the Yakuza is just awesome. The way how she needs to adapt that she is part of it really stands outs as original. It also has some really funny and clever moments which I like. So story while its overuse, it did well.

Art:10/10
The art is well done. The looks on the characters are really beautiful especially on the old looking people. Not a lot to say other than it looks good.

Characters:8/10
For the main female lead, Sachie did almost of a good job as she is a very strong character. But at times she needs to be rescue which really isn't necessary. Why is it that shojo manga have to make women the damsel in distress. I'm a guy and I'm tired of seeing that but with her strong since of justice it balance it out even when it get her in trouble. Rukuto while not original in some way, he is very complex. He is afraid of the what the future lies ahead which works for his character. The rest is pretty typical but are there for support and some laughs every once in a while.

Enjoyment:8/10
The unoriginal plot kinda knock my enjoyment down. But as I get farther into it, I see that its very enjoyable.

Overall:9/10 Almost being perfect
