Wild City
️Note: Not as tagged (not harem story or yaoi) This was a surprisingly enjoyable story. The comments don’t do it justice because it has a lot more depth to it than what you would expect from the beginning. The story starts out in the insular yet rather over the top Wild City, following main protagonist Jimmy (a werewolf accepted into mainstream society) who works at the majestic postal service. Yes..majestic. Just check that building out. The story has a rather surreal or fantasy feeling at first. There are over the top enemies, explosions, oddball directors of the postal service and an unusual emphasis on being the best delivery person and be promoted to elite. Tbh, the beginning felt a bit like a bad anime with lots of insane villains popping up all the time and potential romances for Jimmy crossing his path. But, then the story twisted in a big way and nothing and no one were what they seemed. It was like the epiphany moment in the Truman Show when you started to look at everything you know and realise you don’t know much at all. The latter part of the story is gory, violent, cruel and sad. And suddenly all those little things that bothered you made began to make sense. I liked the ending, and the final chapter was an epilogue style that offered a glimpse at life a few years down the track. That happy ending was needed after all the crap that happened through the story. As I mentioned, it was a surprisingly good story and I give it 4 stars, mostly because the beginning did drag on a bit and because some oddball categorised this as a harem and it was definitely not. More like a shounen-ai if anything and nothing remotely explicit or harem like occurring.
