Wild Rock cover

The main story is about Emba and Yuuen. They are both heirs to different warrior clans. Unfortunately, their clans have been long-time enemies, and because of that, Emba and Yuuen are destined to hate each other. But when they meet, it's love at first sight.

If I would describe this manga with just one word, it would be: HOT! It's a sweet story about forbidden love, and how love can conquer anything. It's mostly told from Yuuen's point of view... how he struggles between what's best for his clan, or what's best for himself. The sex scenes are really hot and, oh yeah, they're uncensored.

Both Emba (seme) and Yuuen (uke) are simply gorgeous (Kazusa draws the seme muscular and tall, while the uke is skinny and short). The only negative with the main story is that it is a little too short. Besides that, there is a bittersweet story about Emba and Yuuen's fathers (when they were young), Selem and Yuuni. There is also a shorter story that is set after the main story plus a one side short bonus story with an alternative end of the main story. Really funny!.

As if that weren't enough, there are some first sketches of Emba, Yuuen and Selem, plus an interesting aside, where Kazusa writes a summary to every story, telling the reader why she wrote it and what the idea of it was.

I recommend Wild Rock to every yaoi fan out there. The book is full of eye-candy (I mean, Wild Rock is set in a pre-historical time, so Emba and Yuuen walk around almost naked!). The front side shows a gorgeous picture of Emba, and on the backside, a hot yaoi picture of either Selem and Yuuni, or Emba and Yuuen. They almost look the same, so it's hard to say who it is. Whoever it is,the couple are "having fun" on the beach!

This is by far my favourite yaoi manga and I have re-read it ten times already. It has action, comedy and romance, and it will definately leave a smile on your lips!
