Wild Life

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
The vet, Iwashiro Tesshou and his Nursing Dog... err... Dog.

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.

Tropes used in Wild Life include:

Interviewer: Thank you for applying for a job at our store. Do you have any special skills?
Applicant 1: I learned to calculate on the abacus with great skill at 5!
Interviewer: Hmm, very interesting. You?
Applicant 2: People always say I have great people skills!
Interviewer: Interesting. And you on the left?
Tesshou: Iwashiro Tetsushou-kun. And I have a... PERFECT SENSE OF HEARING!
Everybody in the room: ...

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...

  • Friend to All Children: Tesshou, for the same reason he is good with animals.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Tesshou, who is known for his big heart.
  • Ho Yay: 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.
    • Just take a look at this page.
    • And this one.
    • There are a couple.
    • Tsukasa's Dad to Tesshou: If you're with him, (referring to Ryoto) I can retire without worrying.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Riki.

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.
