Tokyo is taken over by a parasitic outbreak that turns people into human-eating plant monsters!
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.
Although not related by blood, Kingo and Kayano have grown up together in an orphanage and are the closest thing either of them has to a family. When it seems that their dreams of being adopted are about to come true, their new parents turn out to be Jinka! Just as Kingo is about to be eaten, a Jinka blooms in Kayano…but her Jinka is very different. It doesn’t attempt to hurt Kingo or other humans. Kingo must do everything he can to keep his sister’s affliction a secret so she doesn’t get pruned. One day, while working as a lowly grunt for the Flower Funeral Forces, Kingo gets an alert about a Jinka near his apartment. He rushes to the scene to find Kayano surrounded, and earns himself a bullet through the head for trying to save her. But when he wakes up, he’s in a mysterious pruning facility, his sister is gone, and he is now infected by a Jinka himself—Kayano.
