'ello everybody,

I'm a-looking for any manga that deals with the theme of fitting in + learning social skills, ideally (but not necessarily) in a situation where the child grew up in the absence of human contact. Some mangas that fit the bill are:

Beast Master

Safe Again Today

i know the subject is kinda rare obscure mangas are fine. I'm alright with mature manga, shonen ai and in very very rare cases, non-graphic yaoi (if there is such a thing),

Agghhh, I know one that fits perfectly. Child raised by monkeys, then found by a researcher dude at around 8... hold on, I'll see if I can find the name.

If you don't mind regular books, Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel also deals with that theme.

That was it! Thanks.

For Fitting In~

How 'bout Wild Damon? It's a little similar to Beast Master.

Wild child? - Yotsuba!)

Wild Damon - i just finished reading it. It was cute, albeit a little too romantic for my tastes. Good concept though!

Kiichi - It's a bit strange, and the kid is kind of unrelatable, but it's pretty good i guess. He's definitely wild lol.

Cat Street -Already am reading it I like it quite a bit.

Pansy - looks a bit too old school for me. I might try it some other time.

Yotsuba - a different sort of wild child. I love her and i love the manga. Very cute!
