The world has changed. Nature isn't what it used to be and lumins, a non-breathing kind of human, have arisen. In this new reality, regular breathing humans are enslaved, poor and sometimes caged like animals. This is exactly the situation Fifteen finds himself in, as he cannot remember life outside of the glass cage. One day, a lumin buys him as a slave and he is released from the cage. Fifteen prepares for a life of misery, but what he gets is something completely different. A tale of revolution and forbidden romance begins to form. Bloodroot started as a webcomic in 2015 and is one of John Vincent's many graphic novels.

At its core, Bloodroot is a progressive work aimed to fight discrimination, promote sexual freedom and contribute to creating a more consensual yaoi culture. This book contains chapters 1-6 of Bloodroot, plus the strawberry bonus chapter. The original art from 2015 has been improved and corrected in several places in 2017 to provide a better reading experience.
