It was first published on Naver on August 7, 2011, and has been released in English by Line. The story follows a high school guy who enrolls as the sole male student at a former all-girls school of champion fighters, and struggles with dealing with his athletic schoolmates, as well as bullies and gangsters, while training in mixed martial arts. The print release of the first volume of Girls of the Wild's was released in November 9, 2012. 260 chapters of Girls of the Wild's have been released online, with the final chapter posted in October 2016.
Jaegu Song, a teenager struggling to take care of his two kindergarten-aged siblings, enrolls on scholarship to Wild's High, an all-girls private school that has become co-ed for the purposes of having their female students, who are renowned for being champions in martial arts, behave like maidens in society. As the sole male student, Jaegu is uncomfortable with the excessive attention from the girls, who get extra credits for befriending Jaegu. To make things worse, he has a run-in with the aloof Queen, who is the Wild's League tournament champion. He is befriended by Moonyoung Lee, Queen's best friend and the boxing club captain, and Daldal Choi, a cute and petite Taekwondo club captain. Although he refuses to follow any of Queen's demeaning tasks, he apologizes for his behavior, and Queen begins to develop romantic feelings for him.
Queen selects Jaegu to be her opponent in the upcoming tournament, but a conflict between Jaegu and Queen's rival, Hyeshin Kim, from Gura High, results in Jaegu being placed in the preliminary rounds. When Jaegu is bullied by a former middle school classmate, Hangyeol Kim, the girls help train Jaegu to fight and their schools arrange for them to face each other. Jaegu overcomes his fears and knocks out Hangyeol. Since then on, Moonyoung, Daldal, Queen, and Jaegu become good friends. Hopae Kim, a successor in a mafia family who easily wins his preliminary matches, gets into a conflict with Queen which escalates to another sanctioned fight that also involves Jaegu and Moonyoung. With Queen away on family business, Daldal and Moonyoung recruit Jaegu to coach them for the second part of the tournament. Moonyoung and Daldal end up fighting each other in the round of 16. Although Queen returns for her match, she withdraws from the tournament to continue her work.
