"Holy Emperor" Souther is the only master of Nanto Houou Ken (South Star Phoenix Style), the strongest style among all variations of Nanto Seiken. Thus, he is one of the strongest fighters in all of Hokuto no Ken.  Nanto Houou Ken is characterized like the other Nanto Seiken styles with sharp slicing movements designed to damage the external body, but unlike the others Nanto Houou Ken has no rigid stances or movements, save for one. When confronted with a worthy opponent, Souther unleashes his ultimate technique,　Nanto Houou Ken Ougi: Tenshou Juuji Hou (South Star Phoenix Fist Ultimate Technique: Soaring Cross Phoenix)   Because there can only be one Nanto Houou Ken master in any given time, Souther was forced to kill his mentor and beloved foster father, leaving him bitter, angry and declaring that he has rejected the concept of love forever. He constructs the Holy Cross Pyramid using child slave labor as a monument to his father. With its completion, he intends to bury his emotions forever.

In this very zany take on the dramatic series by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, the end of the century… wasn't so bad, actually. A very special and brave Holy Emperor, Souther, wants to become more "involved" and to be on "friendly terms" with the noble Kenshiro & his posse. Especially Kenshiro. Due to his very outgoing nature, he also crashes the homes of his other buddies, often when they especially don't want him to show up!
 
Join Souther as he releases his feelings in heart-throbbing, mind-bending confessions, settles complex and engrossing territorial disputes with deep and intricate consequences, enjoys the simple and introspective pleasures of a quiet dinner, and climbs the top of the rough and brutal pyramid that is the idol world - with the help of his best buddies, of course! Maybe even Kenshiro will be there - who knows!
 
By the time it got its anime in 2015, Strawberry Flavor had sold over 1 million copies in Japan. The anime was composed of 2-minute long, abridged adaptations of select chapters from the first three volumes. They were placed after the main episodes of DD Fist of the North Star season 2.
 
Every volume also contains at least one gaiden (side story). These gaiden are drawn in Yukito's (the elder sister of Yukito Imouto) normal artstyle, and expand on characters who did not receive gaiden during the Hokuto Gaiden period in the late 2000's.
 
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

Super-deformed version of Buronson, Hara Tetsuo's post-apocalyptic fighting manga. 
Note: The "DD" stands for "Design Deformation," since the characters are only "two-heads-tall."
