Hagiri Town is a lonely country town. People have sometimes avoided getting into that topic because of the unusual nature of 56 people missing in the past 30 years. Meanwhile, a male teacher, Gunji has been assigned to a high school in the town. Wherein he is responsible as class deputy and also to take over the floral arrangements club. As head of that club he receives a poisonous red flower from an old man who donates flowers to the school, but…this was the beginning of a nightmare that would change everything!
The stage is Asakusa, Tokyo. Middle schooler Kazuki has quit the football club, without telling his childhood friend (or maybe more?) Enta, and is now doing everything he can - no the consequences - to connect with 'that person'.
When the delinquent Toi transfers into his class, he and Kazuki end up destroying the local Kappa statue - angering the prince of the Kappa, Keppi, who turns the 3 boys into Kappa by stealing their Shirikodama, the soul-containing organ located in the anus. Now, in order to return to being human, the boys must steal the Shirikodama of the 'Kappa zombies' that have appeared and are feeding on the desires of Asakusa denizens. Can the boys succesfully connect together and defeat the zombies? And if so, what dark secrets will be revealed through the 'Sarazanmai' process?
Meanwhile, local cop duo Niiboshi Reo and Akutsu Mabu are the ones behind the "Desire exploitation" process creating the Kappa Zombies. Who are they taking orders from? What secrets do they have in their past, and can their relationship survive the fallout?
This complete manga adaptation of anime Sarazanmai by director Kunihiko Ikuhara (Sailor Moon, Utena Penguindrum) explores themes from queer love and sexuality, to the strains of sibling relationships and the struggles of connecting in today's world of smartphones and SNS, and is uniquely illustrated by original character designer Migi.

4. Personant (2008, Jump SQ)
In the year 3333, everyone wears personants, technologically advanced masks, to maintain equality and peace, because they eliminate the "differences" in people that lead to discrimination and conflict.

5. Apple (2008, Young Magazine)
The main character (the blond ponytailed guy - yeah, guy) is Aramiya Satoshi, whose main ability is shape-shifting into any animal... though at some point he has plants growing out of him, so he is able shape-shift into any living thing. I'm not sure if he was naturally born that way or if he was a biological experiment. Anyway, he's a pretty easy-going guy who just wants to be left alone to enjoy his solitary life in the middle of a junkyard, but apparently some army or another is always after him because of his ability. Luckily, he is able to fight off entire tank battalions before breakfast.
