Wild Child?

'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:
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.
Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Only one that comes to my mind right now too.

Cat Street (about a recluse learning social skills, not wild child)
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

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

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!
