Ooinaru Yasei
大いなる野生
A collection of seven one-shot manga by Jirou Taniguchi, published between 1977 and 1980. Each story stands alone, exploring different facets of human and animal existence in the wilderness.
From a pack of wolves navigating their social hierarchy to a man walking through a desolate plain, the tales delve into primal instincts, survival, and the raw beauty of nature. Characters confront their own wildness, whether in the forests of Yuukara or the shores of Kareshibanada.
The anthology captures moments of solitude, conflict, and connection with the natural world, revealing the untamed spirit that lies within both humans and beasts.
