2013 – present

In this wildly humorous spin-off of Buronson and Tetsuo Hara's dramatic series, the end of the century turns out not to be so bad after all. The exceptionally courageous Holy Emperor Souther desires to become more "involved" and establish "friendly relations" with the noble Kenshiro and his group—especially Kenshiro. Due to his extremely outgoing personality, he also barges into the homes of his other buddies, often when they least want him to show up! Join Souther as he pours out his feelings in heart-pounding, mind-bending confessions; resolves complex and engrossing territorial disputes with deep and far-reaching consequences; savors the simple, introspective pleasures of a quiet dinner; and climbs to the top of the harsh, brutal pyramid that is the idol world—with the help of his best pals, naturally! Maybe Kenshiro will even be there—who knows! By the time it received its anime adaptation in 2015, Strawberry Flavor had sold over one million copies in Japan. The anime consisted of two-minute-long abridged adaptations of selected chapters from the first three volumes, airing after the main episodes of DD Fist of the North Star season two. Each volume also includes at least one gaiden (side story). These gaiden are drawn in Yukito's (elder sister of Yukito Imouto) normal art style and expand on characters who did not receive gaiden during the Hokuto Gaiden period in the late 2000s. Gaiden List: Volume 1: Spade, Club & Diamond, Heart Volume 2: Souther Volume 3: Shuren & Huey Volume 4: Fudo Volume 5: Yuda Volume 6: Shin Volume 7: Falco & friends, Ein Volume 8: Ogai Volume 9: Devil Rebirth
