Wild Strawberry

Tokyo is taken over by a parasitic outbreak that turns people into human-eating plant monsters!

Created by Ire Yonemoto | MoreLess about Wild Strawberry

Humans were always at the top of the food chain. That is, until 36 years ago when Tokyo was overrun by parasitic plants known as Jinka. No one knows why or how this happened, but the Jinka are out for blood. They multiply by spreading their pollen. Once infected, your fate is sealed—either turn into a Jinka or be burned alive. Only those with money can afford to be vaccinated against the pollen, but Kingo barely has enough to feed himself and protect his sister, Kayano...who is infected by an odd Jinka that doesn't attack others. But when she is reported and the Flower Funeral Force attempts to prune her, all hell breaks loose, and Kingo soon finds himself the host of a Jinka too...and that Jinka is Kayano. Now Kingo will stop at nothing to make her human again.

Ire Yonemoto started serialization of Wild Strawberry in 2023. He likes to post extra art on his X account.

Wild Strawberry, Vol. 2

Kingo is devastated that Kayano is not only gone, but is now a Jinka possessing his body. But not all is lost. Makino, a researcher from the Flower Funeral Corps., informs him that it may be possible for him to not only return himself to normal, but to bring Kayano back to life using the Mother Jinka―the very first Jinka to appear, rooted around Tokyo Tower. However, the Special Flower Funeral Forces is hot on Kingo’s and Makino’s trail. But running from them may not be what they need when the Special Flower Funeral Forces itself is the fastest ticket to getting close to the Mother Jinka.
