Preliminary (4/? chp)
No matter how you examine it, "Wild Strawberry" is just another run-of-the-mill battle shounen. After four chapters, there is absolutely nothing original in this manga. However, that should be okay if the author takes pre-existing concepts and ideas used before and builds upon them, right? Well, they don't.

The main character of this manga is the type of character we've seen many, many times. There's a monster inside him who helps battle other monsters. Although, this time, he's basically invincible since the monster inside him can bring him and other people back to life if they die, resulting in zero tension throughout a story that needs high stakes to be interesting. Additionally, there's nothing we haven't seen done better before in the plot so far. The antagonistic forces are man-eating monsters that are pure evil, and there's a group that fights those man-eating monsters, who are hunting down the main character with one of those monsters inside of him.

Overall, "Wild Strawberry" is a manga that has absolutely nothing going for it besides the artwork. It introduces no concepts that haven't been seen before and provides us with tensionless fights between typical shounen characters.
